Air mass trajectories (a) derived for June 7 (red squares), 8 (green circles) and 12 (blue triangles) along with the Canadian wildfire spots (orange circles) and the sampling site at Rutgers University campus (star). Lines connecting consecutive trajectory points represent 6 h of air mass transport (see Methods section). Mass concentrations, M, of PM2.5 (b) along with mobility size distributions (c) measured on June 7 (red filled bar & solid line), 8 (green lined bar & dot-broken line) and 12 (blue dotted bar & broken line). The error bars and shaded areas quantify the variations of M and mobility size distributions during the measurement campaign. Concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) adsorbed on PM2.5 sampled on June 7 (d). Error bars and shaded areas show the standard deviation of the mass concentration and mobility size distribution during the sampling period.
