Seasonal Analysis and Source Apportionment of Hourly Volatile Organic Compound Data In the Corpus Christi Urban Airshed. I presented this at the Corpus Christi Air Quality Meeting on June, 24, 2009
The objectives of this paper were to evalute the long therm trends of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)measured at two air toxics monitoring sites in Corpus Christi Texas; perform source receptor analysis using the the Positive Matrix Factorization model to identify VOC source profiles and quantify the VOC source contributions; relate the long term trends to changes in the source contributions; and use conditional probablity function analysis to determine which wind direction the VOC sources are associated with.
