The Green Hour: Low-emission vehicles, PA-NJ radio broadcast, June 29, 2015
No full textOur society is structured in such a way that most of us are so dependent on cars that it is not easy to simply give them up. But you can make a choice as to what sort of car you have and what level of impact you have on our environment. Do you choose one which gives you 50 mpg or one that gives you 10 mpg? Or is electric? What sort of car do you really need? Listen to the experts as they offer insights on what the best choices available and why.Guests: Michael Thwaite, President of Plug-in America and the NJ Electric Auto Association, and Professor Monica Mazurek of the School of Engineering at Rutgers University.Direct link to broadcast audio,http://www.greenhourradio.com/the-cars-we-drive-say-a-lot-about-us-2/Promo by host (Gery Juleff):You can love your car even more by.......if you make the right choice for your community and the environment.Let’s keep it simple.a Most of us need a car to fully participate in our social and economic environment. And many people enjoy cars.b) But there is a price to pay every time we drive – to our own pocket and to the health of our communities and the environment.c) So we have an obligation to minimize that damage.d) There are many ways in which we can do that, including driving less. But the most important thing we can do is choose a car that does what we need it to do but with the least damage.e) There are many, many options out there for all types of vehicles, from low emission gasoline cars to electric vehicles.f) Find out more on www.greenhourradio.com and listen to our discussion with Michael Thwaite, President of Plug-in America and the NJ Electric Auto Association, and Professor Monica Mazurek of the School of Engineering at Rutgers University on www.panjradio.com all this week at 3 and 6pm or later in the week via the podcast on www.greenhourradio.comg) What are you waiting for?Gery JuleffHost of the 'Green Hour'www.greenhourradio.com [email protected] 529 0149The Green Hour is sponsored by our supporters at Duke Farms.

Sequential Derivatization of Polar Organic Compounds in Cloud Water Using O-(2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine Hydrochloride, N, O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide, and Gas-Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Analysis
No full textCloud water samples from Whiteface Mountain, NY were used to develop a combined sampling and gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GCMS) protocol for evaluating the complex mixture of highly polar organic compounds (HPOC) present in this atmospheric medium. Specific HPOC of interest were mono- and di keto-acids which are thought to originate from photochemical reactions of volatile unsaturated hydrocarbons from biogenic and manmade emissions and be a major fraction of atmospheric carbon. To measure HPOC mixtures and the individual keto-acids in cloud water, samples first must be derivatized for clean elution and measurement, and second, have low overall background of the target species as validated by GCMS analysis of field and laboratory blanks. Here, we discuss a dual derivatization method with PFBHA and BSTFA which targets only organic compounds that contain functional groups reacting with both reagents. The method also reduced potential contamination by minimizing the amount of sample processing from the field through the GCMS analysis steps. Once derivatized only gas chromatographic separation and selected ion monitoring (SIM) are needed to identify and quantify the polar organic compounds of interest. Concentrations of the detected total keto-acids in individual cloud water samples ranged from 27.8 to 329.3 ng mL-1 (ppb). Method detection limits for the individual HPOC ranged from 0.17 to 4.99 ng mL-1 and the quantification limits for the compounds ranged from 0.57 to 16.64 ng mL-1. The keto-acids were compared to the total organic carbon (TOC) results for the cloud water samples with concentrations of 0.607 to 3.350 mg L-1 (ppm). GCMS analysis of all samples and blanks indicated good control of the entire collection and analysis steps. Selected ion monitoring by GCMS of target keto-acids was essential for screening the complex organic carbon mixtures present at low ppb levels in cloud water. It was critical for ensuring high levels of quality assurance and quality control and for the correct identification and quantification of key marker compounds.Corrected proof of accepted manuscrip
