The filters collected from the Digitel, HiVol and INP samplers will be used in a variety of analysis to characterize numerous aspects of the chemical composition and properties of the aerosol on Mt.Helmos during CHOPIN. The filter analysis planned includes:
- Elemental and organic carbon (NCSR Demokritos)
- IC analysis (EPFL) for hygroscopicity and pH calculations
- Offline AMS (EPFL) for PMF analysis of sources & OC composition
- ATR-FTIR analysis (EPFL) for OC Analysis
- BrC/OP and soluble metals (Fe, Cu, Mn) with ICP-MS and XRF (FORTH)
- Phospholipids analysis for bioaerosol content characterization (EPFL)
- Sugars, polysaccharides (EPFL)
- DNA analysis (EPFL)
