Atmospheric organic (OC) and elemental (EC) carbon play an important role in
atmospheric chemistry, climate change and public health. There have been relatively
few studies dealing with EC and OC in rural background sites which are less influenced
by urban and industrial emissions. Nevertheless, measurements at background areas are
important for understanding the transport and transformation characteristics of
anthropogenic air pollutants, and their effects on various aspects of regional and global
environment changes. This work is one of the rare studies using a semi-continuous
measurement technique to focus on long-term (4 years) measurements of EC and OC at
regional background site in Europe. It focuses on the factors or phenomena influencing
both diurnal and weekly variability of EC and OC concentrations during various seasons
at rural background area.
