The South Coast Air Quality Management District conducted a special one year monitoring program in 1995 using particulate samplers designed to properly account for positive organic artifact formation during PM2.5 sampling. Positive organic carbon artifacts are quantified and characterized in this paper. The organic carbon concentrations vary from 1.42 to 20.66
