26 Conclusions Part II. Despite the hard work, only 3 to 5% of OC has been characterized! What we thought was a largely a traffic induced episode, appears to have biomass combustion, meat cooking, and secondary terpene oxidation products, as well! CMB would be needed to sort this out! The 6: to 9: AM excursion may have resulted from the subsidence of highly polluted air along the I895/I95 corridor at 3 o Such hot spots likely exist at various locations in and around Baltimore Part I. The EC:OC method suggests secondary POC is ~5% of total POC, even during what we thought was largely a traffic induced episode. Wood combustion and meat cooking may have contributed oxygenated OM to this, but it is doubtful that these sources could have accounted for so much OC. Unidentified Mass responsible?
