Abstract
A report is given on measurements which have been carried out in order to compare two testing methods for soot concentrations in air. Sample s of fine dust were taken from ambient air and each sample was divided into two parts for further treatment in different ways. Differentiati on between elemental carbon (EC), total carbon (TC) and carbon related to organic compounds (OC) was accomplished either by thermal desorpti on or liquid extraction. A good agreement of the soot concentrations r epresented by the EC values was achieved using these two methods.
