Item Restricted Biomass burning as the main source of organic aerosol particulate matter in Malaysia during haze episodes(Elsevier, 2004) M. Radzi bin Abas; Daniel R. Oros; B.R.T. SimoneitThe haze episodes that occurred in Malaysia in September-October 1991, August-October 1994 and September-October 1997 have been attributed to suspended smoke particulate matter from biomass burning in southern Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia. In the present study, polar organic compounds in aerosol particulate matter from Malaysia are converted to their trimethylsilyl derivatives and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in order to better assess the contribution of the biomass burning component during the haze episodes.Item Restricted Composition of extractable organic matter of air particles from malaysia: Initial study(Elsevier, 1996) M. Radzi Bin Abas; B.R.T. SimoneitThe solvent extractable compounds of airborne particulate samples, which were collected on two occasions in a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a standard high-volume air sampler, were investigated to determine the distributions of homologous and biomarker compounds.
