The absorption properties of ambient urban aerosols as well as their size distributions were measured in real-time using a dual wavelength optical particle spectrometer (DWOPS). A photoacoustic spectrometer (PAS) was simultaneously used to directly measure light absorptivity of the particles in question along with an Aethalometer and a commercial optical particle counter (OPC). The sizing performance of the DWOPS was compared with the commercial OPC unit showing very good agreement. The data from DWOPS, PAS and Aethalometer instruments are presented and show the potential of the DWOPS technique for a direct and simple assessment of the absorbing part of the complex refractive index of ambient particles as a function of particle size.
