CARBONACEOUS AEROSOLS ARE THE LARGEST COMPONENT IN PM2.5
TO MEASURE IS TO KNOW
Carbon-containing compounds are frequently the largest component of particulate matter in the atmosphere and comprise a vast range of species. At one end of this range is a “haze of natural origins,” often seen over forests in the summertime. This ‘secondary’ aerosol is formed by atmospheric reactions of organic vapor precursors and is almost colorless. It scatters light, creating a haze: but it does not absorb light. An example is smoke from biomass burning (e.g., wood smoke, burning of agricultural materials) in the middle of this range. This smoke contains both light-scattering organic materials and light-absorbing “Brown” and “Black” carbon material. Wood smoke contains many aromatic compounds, some of which may be toxic or mutagenic/carcinogenic.

Wood smoke contains many aromatic compounds, some of which may be toxic or mutagenic/carcinogenic.
At the other end of the range is the example of diesel exhaust. This material has a very pronounced ‘Black Carbon’ component, in addition to associated aromatics, which may be adsorbed onto the surface of the black particles. The adsorbed aromatics lead to the serious health impacts of diesel emissions: but the absorption of light- the ‘Black’ coloration – has many other adverse geophysical effects.
Suspended in the air, Black Carbon particles absorb sunlight and heat the atmosphere. Incorporated into cloud droplets, they reduce the cloud albedo (reflectivity). When deposited onto snow or ice, sunshine is absorbed rather than reflected. This leads to accelerated thawing and contributes to the disappearance of glaciers and the loss of the Arctic ice cover.
Carbonaceous aerosols are the major, dominant component of the mass of suspended particles in polluted atmospheres. Their composition spans the range from Organic Carbon (often denoted OC) to Black or Elemental Carbon (denoted BC or EC). Instruments manufactured by Aerosol Magee Scientific measure in real time both the Black, Brown and Total carbon content of suspended particles. These instruments are rugged, reliable, and are suitable for use in every application from research laboratories to field projects to routine air-quality monitoring stations.
Other than forest fires, human activities are the main source of carbonaceous aerosols. These emissions can be greatly reduced by improved combustion efficiency and exhaust treatment. However, accurate and reliable data are always needed: to assess the severity of the problem, identify the main sources that require attention, and quantitate the improvements following the application of controls and regulations. “To manage a problem, you must be able to measure it.” Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments provide this accurate data – automatically, reliably, anywhere.
REFERENCES
Users of scientific instruments, now called Aerosol Magee Scientific, monitor black carbon and other carbonaceous aerosols on all continents and at observatories at the South and North Poles. They measure air quality under extreme conditions, such as the highest parts of the Earth in the Himalayas or the depths reached by mines. They also help in large cities, where air pollution affects most people.

OUR STORY
Research into methods for the real-time measurement of light-absorbing aerosols began in Berkeley in 1978. The first-ever Aethalometer® was deployed in a field study in the summer of 1980: the first aircraft measurements were made in 1982, and in 1986 an Aethalometer started making measurements of aerosol Black Carbon at the most remote location on the planet, the South Pole Observatory. Magee Scientific Company was established that same year to develop further and commercialize the Aethalometer and make it available to the aerosol research and monitoring community. Aethalometers have been used in increasing numbers over the years: several thousand instruments have been delivered to locations on all 7 continents, and more than 7,400 publications using Aethalometer data have been published in the open scientific literature.
THE HISTORY OF THE AETHALOMETER®
The Aethalometer is the instrument most used globally for the real-time measurement of light-absorbing Black (or ‘Elemental’) carbon aerosol particles. Almost two thousand Aethalometers have been delivered to locations on all seven continents – from the Sahara Desert to the South Pole, from Brazil to Tibet, from the streets of New York City to the mountaintop of Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
In 1979 the Aethalometer was first conceptualized by Anthony D. A. Hansen, Ph.D.; prototypes were developed during the 1980s for research projects at remote locations.
In 1986, Magee Scientific was formed, and the first commercial unit was delivered.
In 1995, production was transferred to Europe.
In 1997, the basic AE16 Aethalometer measuring aerosol Black Carbon at 880 nm was joined by models offering optical analysis at additional wavelengths. The AE21 series added analysis in the near-ultraviolet at 370 nm, which had been found to respond with great sensitivity to aromatic organic species found in wood smoke and tobacco smoke. The AE31 series introduced optical analysis at 7 wavelengths from 370 nm to 950 nm. Analysis across the optical spectrum has found widespread application in source apportionment studies, atmospheric optics, and radiative transfer.
In 2001, the AE42 Portable Aethalometer was announced, offering the same electronics, analytical performance, and instrument features: but packaged in a smaller chassis with an internal battery for mobile operation. This extended the applications in the area of public health, epidemiological studies, and fieldwork. The AE42 enabled real-time measurements of carbon particulate concentrations on buses and trains, in living and working areas, in hospitals, airports, public spaces, and mobile mapping.
In 2002, the ‘Extended Range’ option was offered on all models for enhanced performance in locations of high aerosol concentration as an alternative to the original ‘High Sensitivity’ version.
In 2007, the company “Aerosol” was established in Ljubljana, Slovenia, to concentrate exclusively on the science, technology, and commercialization of instrumentation for carbonaceous aerosol measurements.
In 2008, we started developing a new Aethalometer: the ‘Next Generation’ Model AE33. This incorporated scientific and technical advances designed to offer greatly improved measurement performance, user features, communications, and interface: and built-in features to perform routine performance tests and data quality validation. Most importantly, the new instrument incorporated the patented DualSpot™ measurement method. This provides two significant advantages: eliminating the changes in response due to ‘aerosol loading’ effects; and a real-time calculation of the ‘loading compensation’ parameter, which offers insights into aerosol optical properties.
In 2012, the Model AE33 was released after extensive development and testing in conjunction with leading research institutes in Europe.
In 2015, we obtained a license from the Desert Research Institute (Reno, NV, USA) to manufacture and commercialize the “DRI-2015” Multi-Wavelength Thermal Carbon Analyzer.
In 2017, we announced the Total Carbon Analyzer, Model TCA-08. This revolutionary instrument measures the Total Carbon Content (TC) of suspended aerosol particles in real-time for monitoring and scientific applications.
In 2020, we released the Carbonaceous Aerosol Speciation System CASS – A revolutionary OC/EC Analyzer and the Magee Scientific Aethalometer® model AE43 – NEW portable Black Carbon Monitor.
In 2022, we launched the new model DRI2015 – series 2 with CE mark and improved technical features for reliable laboratory operation.

HISTORY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Welcome to Magee Scientific History of Science and Technology, where you can find a list of the most important achievements of Magee Scientific/Aerosol company – from two aspects, i.e., science and technological development.
The story of success started on August 20, 1980, when the official document describing Aethalometer was published:
That is how Aethalometer, together with the Magee Scientific brand, became a standard for Black Carbon monitoring, against which all others are compared. Here are some key attributes of our company:
- Being a reference for monitoring Carbonaceous Aerosols with more than 40-year history of science and technology
- Manufacturing reliable instruments with almost 100% ‘out of the box’ success at the most remote locations.
- Since we mainly focus on Carbonaceous Aerosols, we are experts and know about this topic more than anyone else.
- We can answer any question on Carbonaceous Aerosols – from the most advanced academics to the most practical site technician.
- Combining knowledge of several areas, from practical/operational, technical equipment design, commercial manufacturing, data management, and fundamental scientific interpretation, we can ensure that every instrument and every measurement is used to the best advantage.

Instrument History
This is a historical overview of our instruments for monitoring Carbonaceous Aerosols – from a very basic dust sampler and advanced Aethalometer® model AE33 to a laboratory OC/EC Multiwavelength Thermal/Optical Carbon Analyzer DRI-2015.
RAC Dust Sampler”, USA (1960’s)
In the early 1950s, the USA and the USSR were engaged in an arms race of nuclear technology for fission and fusion weapons. The USSR conducted open-air tests at remote locations in the Arctic, producing radioactive dust which circulated in the northern atmosphere. The USA developed air samplers that collected the dust onto paper tapes that were then sent to the Radiation Laboratories in California. Analysis of the various radionuclides (by decay energy and half-life) helped to identify the nuclear reactions and allow the Americans to assess the degree of Russian progress.
It was soon noticed that when these “dust collectors” were operated in urban areas, the spots had a gray or black coloration. This was designated as the “Coefficient Of Haze” but (at the time) was not linked to any specific aerosol constituent. “COH” monitoring was performed at many urban locations, especially in California, where “smog” was a growing problem. However, the emphasis (and financial support) at that time was entirely focused on the atmospheric reactions that convert vehicle emission vapors into ‘haze’ (light scattering aerosols) and ozone. Those reactions could not produce “black” material … but no one asked about the nature or origins of the “gray stuff” on the paper tapes.
Until 1977.
Laboratory research instrument, Univ. California Berkeley, (1983)
This research “sensor head” was built at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory by Dr. Tony Hansen for his research projects. It has three parallel sampling channels, collecting three small spots on a 47-mm. diameter filter from three sample streams. An external pump with critical orifices created the air flow; the filter was illuminated by an incandescent bulb; the 4th portion of the filter served as the optical reference; and the signals were fed to an A/D converter connected to a Commodore-64 computer.
The research objectives were to study the incorporation of combustion-derived BC aerosols into natural fogs, and in a laboratory cloud chamber, by measuring the “initial”, “total”, and “interstitial” aerosol components. The results showed that fresh BC aerosols are actually hygroscopic, and therefore capable of influencing cloud optical and nucleation properties.
Aethalometer AE-6 (1987) Serial number: 870904
This is one of the earliest Aethalometers, made by Dr. Tony Hansen by hand in 1987 at the start of the business of “Magee Scientific” in his home workshop.
The instrument collects the sample on a 47-mm. diameter quartz fiber filter and illuminates it with light from a 12-volt incandescent bulb. The Sensing and Reference photodetectors provide voltage signals to terminals on the rear panel. The airflow had to be produced by an external pump with a mechanical control valve.
The user had to connect the ‘S’ and ‘R’ voltage signals to a computer, digitize them, and then process the data with a simple algorithm written in BASIC. There was no airflow sensor: the sample flow rate was a parameter input to the algorithm. The filter had to be changed by hand when the loading reached a maximum.
Despite their primitive appearance, several of these “earliest Aethalometers” were used at remote locations in the Arctic for over 20 years.
Aethalometer AE-9 (1990) Serial number 900702
This instrument – together with its ‘Pumping Unit’ – was also made “by hand” in Berkeley. Its analytical chamber accepted a 47-mm diameter quartz filter and illuminated it with an incandescent lamp bulb. The digital voltmeters displayed the Sensing and Reference signal voltages and the sample air flow rate measured by an internal mass flow sensor. The control knobs allowed the user to set the ‘zero’ (lamp off) and ‘span’ (lamp on) voltages, although this was not actually necessary for the algorithm. The chassis contained a commercial analog-digital converter with RS232 communications and two digital I/O control lines. These were used to sequence a multiplexer to select the signal to be digitized and to control the lamp and the pump (on-off). A COM plug on the rear panel is connected to an external computer, running a DOS program written in BASIC.
The ‘Pumping Unit’ was a diaphragm pump in a ventilated chassis, with a mechanical throttle valve, flow, and vacuum indicator. The pump was controlled by a solid-state relay connected by a cable to the main Aethalometer chassis. The system could be programmed to start and stop at predetermined times.
These instruments were typically shipped together with monochrome DOS-text “laptop” (transportable) computers. Data was written to a floppy disk in a very simple and intuitive file structure, including measurements (BC_.csv) and a plain-text commentary log “message file” (MF_.txt). This provided the user with a competitive self-contained system for the real-time measurement of aerosol Black Carbon.
Aethalometer AE-T14 (1995) Serial number: A950103
This Aethalometer was the prototype ‘AE-14’ for an instrument collecting its sample on a roll of quartz fiber tape (hence the designator “T”). It was intended for use by non-scientific operators, namely, air-quality monitoring agencies. This was the first development using specially-made filter tape, in which the (very brittle) quartz fiber was supported on a cellulose reinforcement under-layer. Otherwise, the quartz material could not be handled mechanically. The optical chamber was deliberately designed to be made from standard plastic materials, and the lifting mechanism was as simple as possible. The tape-advance pinch rollers used a cam action to grip and release the tape, in order to control the length of tape that was pulled forwards. The electronics were contained in the lower compartment. This prototype was the basis for the ‘AE-16’ designed by Matjaž Zalar of Optotek, the OEM company in Slovenia that took over the manufacturing of Aethalometers in 1996.
Aethalometer AE-12 (1996) Serial number: 151
This Aethalometer was designed according to specifications (and financing) provided by the sales representative company ‘GIV’ in Germany, who believed it was necessary to make an instrument to a unique design for a German Network – which never materialized. The design included a touch-screen (unusual, expensive, and non-functional in 1996); and a German embedded computer using a 80186 processor which was soon discontinued. Only three of these were made before GIV went bankrupt. This entire project was a textbook example of the inadvisability of permitting marketers to define technical specifications and the inadvisability of investing large sums of money to create a product before verifying that the market for it actually exists.
Aethalometer AE-16 (1997) Serial number: 185
This was the ‘classic’ Aethalometer of the period 1996 – 2012. It was designed by Matjaž Zalar of Optotek, based on the AE-14 prototype conceived by Tony Hansen. It used large-capacity rolls of filter tape and an internal pump with a mechanical flow control valve: since it needed no routine attention, it was sold widely for environmental monitoring. The photodetector electronics and control circuits were built on one board with a generic (interchangeable) digital interface, and the display screen and keypad used standard communications. In this way, it could use a standard industrial single-board computer. It recorded data to a built-in floppy disk drive, a great innovation and convenience at the time: this meant that the instrument required no supporting systems at all and could be used stand-alone from a single electrical outlet. The earliest models used an incandescent lamp for illumination. In 1998, the optical source was changed to LED’s emitting at 880 nm, which subsequently created the de-facto operational definition of Black Carbon. In that same year, we created a variant in which the optical illumination was provided by tiny Hg-vapor discharge tubes: this proved the concept of increased optical absorption at short wavelengths by biomass smoke, specifically Tobacco Smoke, an important topic in the USA at that time. In 1999 we found LED’s emitting in the UV, and created a dual-wavelength Aethalometer (denoted AE-21) in which the illumination was switched between 370 and 880 nm sequentially each timebase period. Later that year, we added 5 more ‘colors’ of LED to create the 7-wavelength Aethalometer (denoted AE-31). In 1999, BC emission from biomass burning was not known to be important, and the concept of the Ångström Exponent of optical absorption was brand-new and of unrecognized value.
This unit also used the ‘Extended Range’ enlarged oval collection spot. This option was offered to reduce the rate of accumulation in polluted urban areas and thereby reduce the consumption of filter tape. The ‘High Sensitivity’ option used an inlet chamber with a small circular collection spot.
“R&P Aethalometer Module” AE-45 (2004) Serial number: 8100AE0101
The AE-45 Aethalometer “module” was designed by; and produced exclusively for; the ‘Rupprecht & Patashnick’ company in the USA, manufacturers of the very successful ‘TEOM’ PM2.5 analyzers. They wished to offer a module that could be attached into the air flow stream of the TEOM and provide a simple, single-number measurement of Black Carbon. The design was based upon the existing and successful AE-42 ‘Portable’ Aethalometer, but unfortunately R&P demanded so much simplification that it was impossible for the user to know if the AE-45 ‘module’ was actually working correctly or not.
Aethalometer AE-31 (2006) Serial number 716
This model was the successor to the ‘classic’ Aethalometer, with identical optical analysis but improved supporting systems. It used a display screen and keypad integrated into the door panel; replaced the floppy disk drive with a compact flash memory card; and used a speed-controlled pump with a brushless DC motor instead of the previous AC-motor pump. The pump improvement permitted closed-loop control of the sample flow rate by software, while the flash memory card extended the data storage life from weeks to years. These models were extremely reliable and capable of continued operation under very adverse conditions and mistreatment.
AE-43 prototype (2008)
The AE-43 prototype was intended to be a ‘generational update’ to the established AE-42, with a touch screen panel and operational features specified by engineers. It was believed that some customers would like a ‘survey’ instrument which they could carry: but the existence of this market niche was never verified and this model was never developed. This could now be viewed as an example of “Engineering Push” rather than “Market Pull”.
Transmissometer OT-21 (2009) Serial Number xxx
The Optical Transmissometer performs a ‘static’ measurement of optical absorption on a sample already collected on a filter. The scientific principle of the relationship between the attenuation of transmitted light and the surface density of Black Carbon was first investigated by Tony Hansen, Lara Gundel, Hal Rosen, and others at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory starting in 1977. In 1979, Tony Hansen realized that if this measurement was performed continuously while the sample was simultaneously in the process of being collected, then the rate of change of attenuation could be interpreted as a rate of accumulation of BC. Knowing the airflow rate, the BC concentration could be calculated: and the principle of the Aethalometer was born.
The OT-21 Optical Transmissometer is a modern, microprocessor-controlled instrument that provides a simple measure of the Optical Attenuation (‘ATN’) of an aerosol deposit on a filter. The filter containing the aerosol sample is inserted in a sliding tray, which also carries a blank ‘reference’ filter. The OT-21 analyzes at the two wavelengths of 370 nm and 880 nm, identical to those used in Aethalometers to speciate Black Carbon.
Aethalometer Model AE33 (2013) Serial Number xxx
The Model AE33 Aethalometer was introduced in 2013 to overcome the major problem associated with the measurement of optical transmission through filters: namely, a non-linearity “Loading Effect” whose magnitude is unpredictable and appears to depend on the freshness, coating, and origins of the aerosol. This effect leads to a perturbation of the relationship between “Attenuation” and “Black Carbon content” at higher loadings, resulting in discontinuity of data before and after a filter tape spot advance. The AE33 collects two spots in parallel at different flow rates. Comparison of the data in the two channels allows the “Loading Effect” to be eliminated; its (situational) parameter to be determined; and the ‘correct’ (zero-loading) result to be calculated.
The AE33 analyzes at seven wavelengths on a fundamental timebase of 1 second. Air flow is provided by a closed-loop-stabilized pump, with brushless variable-speed motor. The optical performance may be validated by a ‘Neutral Density Optics Kit’, a set of traceable standard photometric glass elements.
Many accessories may be interfaced to the AE33, and it can be connected to networks for remote operation, data acquisition, and instrument management.
The instrument is extremely rugged and reliable. As of 2020, more than 1,000 units have been shipped to all seven continents of the world.
DRI 2015 Multiwavelength Thermal/Optical Carbon Analyzer (2015 Serial number xxx)
The DRI Model 2015 Multiwavelength Thermal/Optical Carbon Analyzer enhances the widely-used DRI Model 2001 system (from Dessert Research Institute) for quantifying organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC, also termed Black Carbon [BC]), and temperature-separated carbon fractions on aerosol filter deposits (Chow et al., 1993). The Model 2015 retains OC and EC consistency with previous measurements while reducing costs of supplies and maintenance compared with the Model 2001. It replaces the 633 nm optical monitoring that accounts for OC charring with reflected (R) and transmitted (T) intensities at wavelengths of 405, 445, 532, 635, 780, 808, and 980 nm. The additional optical information can be used to estimate multiwavelength light absorption of the sampled particles, infer the concentration of brown carbon (BrC) in each sample, and further complement the use of carbon fractions in source apportionment studies (Chen et al., 2015; Chow et al., 2015). Model 2015 software includes temperature programs for commonly-used protocols such as IMPROVE_A (Chow et al., 2007; 2011), EUSAAR (Cavalli et al., 2010), and NIOSH (Birch and Cary, 1996; Chow et al., 2001), and it can be programmed to emulate any other protocol. The simultaneous measurement of both R and T at all wavelengths throughout each analysis allows for reproducing any other thermal/optical method and holds the potential for better characterizing additional properties of the carbonaceous aerosol.
Total Carbon Analyzer TCA08 (2017) Serial number xxx
The TCA08 Total Carbon Analyzer instrument uses a thermal method for total carbon (TC) determination. The instrument collects a sample of atmospheric aerosols on a 47-mm diameter quartz fiber filter enclosed in a small stainless-steel chamber at a controlled sampling flow rate. The sampling time is 1 h (default) but maybe pre-set from 20 minutes to 24 hours. The instrument has two parallel sampling and analysis channels, with airflow controlled by ball valves. While one channel is collecting its sample for the next time-base period, the other channel is analyzing the sample collected during the previous period. At the end of the period, the valves switch over to provide continuous operation and continuous data acquisition.
