3 Smoke Interference with Ozone Analyzers Historical studies have demonstrated VOC interference in UV Ozone analyzers relative to Chemiluminescent Fedreal Reference Method EPA-454/C--2: 25 ppb of o-cresol results on 2.7 ppb of ozone interference; 24 ppb of o-nitrotoluene results in 6 ppb of ozone interference (low humidity conditions) Anecdotal evidence of smoke interference in UV instruments Ameliorated by inlet filter (particles) Huntzicker and Johnson, Env. Sci. and Tech., November 1979 attributed high ozone readings in aircraft and laboratory to rapidly changing concentrations between measurement and reference cycles in Dasibi ozone analyzers The current project attempts to quantify interference effects for a variety of natural wildfire fuel materials

22 Conclusions and Future Plans Smoke interference with UV analyzers was observed in all test runs Smoke needed to be reasonably dense (> 7 µg/m 3 of PM 2.5 ) to induce significant interference Interference seemed to decrease as the smoke aged Inlet filters significantly decrease observed interference Future Analysis Regress [O 3 ] with [CO], [NO x ] and THC Address differing instrument response times Ozone analyzers respond to smoke more quickly than TEOM Ozone interference peak precedes PM 2.5 Peak 6 minute TEOM averaging time, vs. seconds for ozone analyzers Plan to Provide PM2.5 Data from TEOM to CSU FLAME server in the near future
