The AMoN is operated by the NADP, which measures biweekly NH3 concentrations using passive diffusion (Radiello) samplers.
The CASTNET is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and NPS, which measures weekly HNO3 and particulate NH4+ and NO3− concentrations using three-stage filter pack samplers.
The NTN is operated by the NADP, which measures weekly NH4+, NO3− concentrations in precipitation samples.
The IMPROVE NHx study was conducted from April 2011 to August 2012, which measured the sum of gaseous NH3 and fine particle NH4+ concentrations using a single, acid-coated filter with 1-in-3 d sampling period. Colocated measurements of NH4+, NO3− and sulfate (SO42−) collected on nylon filters provide two methods to determine the split of measured NHx between gaseous NH3 and fine particle NH4+; here we assume that fine particle NO3− and SO42− are fully neutralized by NH4+ to estimate the NH4+ concentration, which was then subtracted from the NHx concentration to obtain a lower bound estimate of the NH3 concentration (28).
