Fenceline VOC measurements using mobile platforms_SDMP.FY25.74.0

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-02-11
This dataset contains final data for the manuscript titled "Comparing short-term volatile organic compound measurements in fenceline environments using multiple mobile air monitoring platforms and methods", Coughlin et al. This dataset and manuscript describes a two-week field campaign where a team cross-compared air monitoring instrumentation in a mobile monitoring format. The scripts included in the data repository process raw data, generate visualizations, and compare measurements from various instruments including a PTR-ToF-MS, UV-DOAS, GC-MS, and SIFT-MS. Different sampling resolutions are handled within the scripts using rolling averages The Methods and Materials within the article describes the monitoring instrumentation that was used and the sampling methodology. A description of the variables in each column of the data files is contained in the file "metadata.xlsx" Auto GC Clean_final.xlsx: Cleaned Automated GC data for analysis from the MDNR site. Canister-PTRMS Comparison_final.xlsx: Data for comparing Canister and PTR-ToF-MS measurements. Canister_final.xlsx: Summary data from canister measurements analyzed by an offline GC-MS. DUVAS_BEN_reprocessed_final.xlsx: Reprocessed UV-DOAS data for comparison. Location_summary.xlsx: Summary of PTR-ToF-MS concentrations during canister collections. monoterpene_final.xlsx: Monoterpene concentration data for interference analysis. PTRMS-GMAP Comparison_final.xlsx: PTRMS and GMAP comparison data from different facilities. PTRMS_canister_stats_summary.csv: Processed summary of PTRMS Canister data. PTRMS_canister_stats_summary_final.csv: Final processed statistics for PTRMS Canister data. PTRMS_concentration_gps_final.xlsx: Joined PTRMS concentration and GPS data. PTRMS_GPS_final.xlsx: Finalized GPS data for PTRMS analysis. siftms_mz_45_comparison_final.xlsx: Data for comparing SIFT-MS at for potential acetaldehyde/EtO interference. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Coughlin, J., A. Tasoglou, K. Haile, L. Silva, S. Hamilton, M. Fuoco, S. Porter, A. Liangou, and E. Thoma. Comparing short-term volatile organic compound measurements in fenceline environments using multiple mobile air monitoring methods. ACS ES&T Air. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, USA, 2(3): 295–308, (2025).
