Abstract
Concentrations of elemental carbon (EC), organic carbon (OC), and 33 organic source markers (12 alkanes, 18 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and ketones, and 3 hopanes) are reported near a highway in Raleigh, NC with an annual average daily traffic count of approximately 125,000 vehicles. Daily samples (24-h) were collected at two locations, one approximately 10 m and the other 275 m perpendicular from the road. Concentrations of OC were similar between near (mean = 7.6 μg m−3) and far (8.0 μg m−3) locations, but concentrations of most organic species at the near site were between 1.5 and 2 times higher than those at the far site.
