Winter and summer measurements of organic and elemental carbon (OC and EC) in PM2.5 were performed in parallel at two sites, the rural background station Košetice and the Prague-Suchdol urban background site, with a 2-h time resolution using semi-online field OC/EC analysers. Seasonal and site differences were found in the OC and EC contents of PM2.5. Moreover, an analysis of four OC fractions depending on the volatility (OC1 – most volatile, OC4 – least volatile) and pyrolytic carbon (PC) is provided.
