Abstract
The concentration of elements Na through Pb, select ions, and organic carbon from fine (s (moles of hydrogen associated with sulfur) to S (moles of sulfur) ratio of approximately 4. This suggests the average sulfate particle during the summer has a molar coon slightly more acidic than ammonium bisulfate (NH4HSO4) which has a molar hydrogen to sulfur ratio of 5. Winter Hs to S ratios, however, are approximately 8, suggesting the aerosol is on average fully neutralized ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4].Keywords
