	<abstract content_type="html">Toluene was measured using both a gas chromatographic system (GC), with a
flame ionization detector (FID), and a proton transfer reaction-mass
spectrometer (PTR-MS) at the AIRMAP atmospheric monitoring station Thompson
Farm (THF) in rural Durham, NH during the summer of 2004. Simultaneous
measurements of monoterpenes, including &amp;alpha;- and &amp;beta;-pinene, camphene, &amp;Delta;
&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;-carene, and &lt;i&gt;d&lt;/i&gt;-limonene, by GC-FID demonstrated large enhancements in
monoterpene mixing ratios relative to toluene, with median and maximum
enhancement ratios of ~2 and ~30, respectively. A detailed
comparison between the GC-FID and PTR-MS toluene measurements was conducted
to test the specificity of PTR-MS for atmospheric toluene measurements under
conditions often dominated by biogenic emissions. We derived quantitative
estimates of potential interferences in the PTR-MS toluene measurements
related to sampling and analysis of monoterpenes, including fragmentation of
the monoterpenes and some of their primary carbonyl oxidation products via
reactions with H&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;, O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; and NO&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; in the PTR-MS
drift tube. The PTR-MS and GC-FID toluene measurements were in good
quantitative agreement and the two systems tracked one another well from the
instrumental limits of detection to maximum mixing ratios of ~0.5 ppbv. A correlation plot of the PTR-MS versus GC-FID toluene measurements
was described by the least squares regression equation &lt;i&gt;y&lt;/i&gt;=(1.13&amp;plusmn;
0.02)&lt;i&gt;x&lt;/i&gt;&amp;minus;(0.008&amp;plusmn;0.003) ppbv, suggesting a small ~13% positive
bias in the PTR-MS measurements. The bias corresponded with a ~0.055
ppbv difference at the highest measured toluene level. The two systems
agreed quantitatively within the combined 1&amp;sigma; measurement precisions for
60% of the measurements. Discrepancies in the measured mixing ratios were
not well correlated with enhancements in the monoterpenes. Better
quantitative agreement between the two systems was obtained by correcting
the PTR-MS measurements for contributions from monoterpene fragmentation in
the PTR-MS drift tube; however, the improvement was minor (&lt;10%).
Interferences in the PTR-MS measurements from fragmentation of the
monoterpene oxidation products pinonaldehyde, caronaldehyde and &amp;alpha;-pinene
oxide were also likely negligible. A relatively large and variable toluene
background in the PTR-MS instrument likely drove the measurement bias;
however, the precise contribution was difficult to accurately quantify and
thus was not corrected for in this analysis. The results from THF suggest
that toluene can be reliably quantified by PTR-MS using our operating
conditions (drift tube pressure, temperature and voltage of 2.0 mbar, 45 Â°C and 600 V, respectively) under the ambient compositions probed. This work
extends the range of field conditions under which PTR-MS validation studies
have been conducted.</abstract>
