东海大气气溶胶中二元羧酸的分布特征及来源

大气气溶胶中的二元羧酸因其在全球气候变化中的潜在作用而受到广泛关注.利用2011年5月12日-6月6日在东海采集的气溶胶样品,分析其中水溶性二元羧酸及常量离子浓度,探讨东海气溶胶中二元羧酸的时空分布特征及来源.结果显示东海大气气溶胶中乙二酸、丙二酸和丁二酸的浓度分别为26.0～1475.5 ng·m-3、0.1 ～61.4 ng·m-3和0.1～132.4 ng·m-3,乙二酸在这3种二元羧酸中的贡献最大,为88.3％.东海气溶胶中二元羧酸浓度的昼夜变化不显著.空间分布整体呈现近海高、远海低的趋势.气团的来源和迁移路径以及气象因素影响气溶胶中二元羧酸的分布,气团来自污染较重的陆源时气溶胶中二元羧酸的浓度较高,气团来自清洁的海洋源时,二元羧酸的浓度则较低;阴雾天气时气溶胶中二元羧酸浓度相对较高,降雨发生时二元羧酸的浓度较低.二元羧酸与常量离子的相关性分析表明,自然源和人为源释放的挥发性有机物质在液相中氧化生成二元羧酸是东海大气气溶胶中二元羧酸的主要源,而汽车尾气和生物质燃烧的一次排放、海洋源以及碱性粗颗粒吸收气体二元羧酸不是主要源.液相中乙醛酸氧化形成的乙二酸和长链二元羧酸氧化形成的乙二酸对东海气溶胶中乙二酸的贡献分别为41％和59％.     

基于高分辨率在线观测数据分析上海市城区秋冬季大气有机气溶胶化学特征及污染来源

有机气溶胶(OA)不仅是大气细颗粒物(PM_2.5)的重要组成部分,其与臭氧(O₃)污染也密切相关.采用气溶胶在线热脱附(TAG)系统对上海市城区秋冬季大气PM_2.5中94种有机分子示踪物浓度进行了在线观测,分析了不同气流轨迹影响下有机气溶胶的组成分布特征以及大气氧化性对其生成的影响.结果表明,本地气团影响下的OA组成以饱和脂肪酸、不饱和脂肪酸和正构烷烃等指示一次来源的有机分子示踪物为主,偏北长距离输送影响下的OA则含有较高比例的生物质燃烧示踪物.与本地气团和长距离输送气团不同,海面气团携带的OA主要由二羧酸和羟基羧酸类指示二次来源的有机分子示踪物构成,其生成受光化学和液相氧化过程影响显著.进一步运用正定矩阵因子分解法(PMF)对PM_2.5和OA污染来源进行解析,获得7类一次排放源和5类二次生成源,其中,二次硝酸盐对PM_2.5浓度贡献率最为突出(25.2%),移动源则对OA浓度贡献率最高(24.0%).污染过程中,燃煤源、移动源和餐饮源等人为源及其相关的二次生成源(二次硝酸盐、二...     

Distribution and sources of solvent extractable organic compounds in PM2:5 during 2007 Chinese Spring Festival in Beijing

The solvent extractable organic compounds (SEOC), including n-alkanes, polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons, fatty acids, anddicarboxylic acids in PM2.5 during the 2007 Chinese Spring Festival in Beijing, were measured via gas chromatography-massspectrometry for determining the characteristics and sources of these organic pollutants.

上海夏季PM2.5中有机物的组分特征、空间分布和来源

有机物是大气细颗粒物(PM_(2.5))的重要组成部分,其来源和组分非常复杂,是大气科学研究的难点和热点.本研究定量表征了上海地区夏季3个不同功能站点PM_(2.5)中78种有机组分,分析了其组成特征及空间差异,并采用后向轨迹、指示物、特征比值等方法对其来源进行了探讨.结果表明,上海西部郊区青浦和徐汇的有机组分检出浓度相近,约为(317±129)ng·m~(-3),高于东部沿海.78种有机组分中,脂肪酸类物质的占比最高,之后依次为左旋葡聚糖、正构烷烃和多环芳烃,藿烷的占比最低.基于示踪物比值法初步分析结果表明,上海地区的颗粒有机物主要来源于汽油车尾气排放,此外中心城区和西部郊区在观测期间受到了一定程度的生物质燃烧污染,可能与西北方向的污染输送有关.就具体组分而言,在西部郊区青浦,脂肪酸主要来自于陆生植物排放,而在东部沿海地区临港,其还会受到海洋浮游植物和微生物的影响;PAH特征比值的分析表明煤燃烧和机动车尾气对多环芳烃具有重要贡献.相关研究结果有助于对上海有机气溶胶的污染特征及来源的深入认识,为开展颗粒有机物的防治提供一定的基础支撑.     

南京市大气气溶胶中二元羧酸昼夜变化研究

2002年3月14-19日在南京大学校园内进行了为期1周的采样,用以研究大气气溶胶PM_2.5中的低分子量(C₂～C₁₀)二元羧酸的昼夜变化规律.结果表明,南京市大气气溶胶中二元羧酸的夜间质量浓度(平均为460ng/m3)普遍高于相应的白天质量浓度(平均为350 ng/m3).草酸是含量最高的二元羧酸,其次是丁二酸与丙二酸,这3种二元羧酸占所检测到的水溶性有机酸总量的89%.由C3/C4(ρ(丙二酸)/ρ(丁二酸))(平均为1.00)可以判断采样期间气溶胶中有机酸主要来源于大气的光化学氧化反应,从C6/C9(ρ(己二酸)/ρ(壬二酸))(平均为0.88)可以认为生物源是有机酸的一个重要来源.      

Progressively narrow the gap of PM2.5 pollution characteristics at urban and suburban sites in a megacity of Sichuan Basin, China

Nowadays, the fine particle pollution is still severe in some megacities of China, especially in the Sichuan Basin, southwestern China. In order to understand the causes, sources, and impacts of fine particles, we collected PM_2.5 samples and analyzed their chemical composition in typical months from July 2018 to May 2019 at an urban and a suburban (background) site of Chengdu, a megacity in this region. The daily average concentrations of PM_2.5 ranged from 5.6-102.3 µg/m³ and 4.3-110.4 µg/m³ at each site. Secondary inorganics and organic matters were the major components in PM_2.5 at both sites. The proportion of nitrate in PM_2.5 has exceeded sulfate and become the primary inorganic component. SO₂ was easier to transform into sulfate in urban areas because of Mn-catalytic heterogeneous reactions. In contrast, NO₂ was easily converted in suburbs with high aerosol water content. Furthermore, organic carbon in urban was much greater than that in rural, other than elemental carbon. Element Cr and As were the key cancer risk drivers. The main sources of PM_2.5 in urban and suburban areas were all secondary aerosols (42.9%, 32.1%), combustion (16.0%, 25.2%) and vehicle emission (15.2%, 19.2%). From clean period to pollution period, the contributions from combustion and secondary aerosols increased markedly. In addition to tightening vehicle controls, urban areas need to restrict emissions from steel smelters, and suburbs need to minimize coal and biomass combustion in autumn and winter.     

北京PM2.5中有机酸的污染特征及来源

采用GC/MS定量分析了2003年9月至2004年7月期间北京市PM2.5中33种脂肪酸(C10～C32)和10种二元酸(diC2～diC11)的含量.研究表明,脂肪酸具有明显的偶数碳优势,4个季节中最丰富的脂肪酸物种都是棕榈酸和硬脂酸(C16、C18).脂肪酸总浓度年均值为493.89ng·m-3,变化范围1.68～2961.70 ng·m-3,季节变化特征不明显.二元酸以草酸(diC2)、丙二酸(diC3)为主,浓度年均值分别为548.13ng·m-3、530.1 ng·m-3;二元酸总浓度呈明显季节变化特征,夏季最高(1539.36 ng·m-3),冬季最低(908.12 ng·m-3).4个季节碳优先指数(CPI)无显著差别,分别是15.3(秋)、12.4(冬)、11.5(春)和13.4(夏);CPI值与植物蜡贡献脂肪酸值呈现出一定的负相关.主成分分析结果表明,油烟、高等植物排放和细菌活动是脂肪酸的主要污染源,二次化学反应转化是二元酸的主要来源.     

北京冬季PM2.5中有机气溶胶的化学特征和来源解析

为探讨北京冬季大气细颗粒物（PM_2.5）中有机气溶胶的浓度水平、分布特征和来源变化,对2016年11月10日~12月10日采集的北京大气PM_2.5样品进行气相色谱-质谱测定,定量了129种颗粒有机物（POM）,约占有机物总量的（9.3±1.2）%.其中含量最高的是糖类,仅左旋葡聚糖即可占到定量有机物的18%,其次是正构烷酸、正构烷烃、二元羧酸和多环芳烃.根据POM示踪物的变化特征,分析了供暖和生物质燃烧传输对北京冬季有机气溶胶的影响.相比于非供暖期间,供暖期间化石燃料示踪物藿烷的质量浓度及在有机物中的占比都明显升高,各组分间的分布也更加趋向于燃煤排放的特征.正构烷烃主峰碳数和奇偶分布的变化,反映了化石燃料贡献增强的影响.生物质燃烧示踪物左旋葡聚糖的浓度权重轨迹（CWT）模型结果表明,北京周围区域的秸秆燃烧污染会通过传输影响北京的有机气溶胶组成.利用分子示踪-化学质量平衡（MM-CMB）模型对2016年北京冬季有机碳（OC）进行了来源解析,并与2006年的结果进行比较,以定量10年间各污染来源贡献发生的变化.2016年与2006年相比,机动车对有机气溶胶贡献明显增加,燃煤和木材燃烧的贡献则大幅度降低,餐饮排放的贡献也不容忽视.因此,控制机动车和餐饮源的排放对改善北京冬季PM_2.5污染问题至关重要.     

餐饮源有机颗粒物排放特征

餐饮油烟是大气有机颗粒物的重要来源之一.本研究在深圳市内选择了西餐、茶餐厅、职工食堂和韩式料理这4种类型的餐馆,通过对这4类餐厅的外场采样,分析各类型餐厅油烟中有机颗粒物的化学组成,筛选了餐饮油烟污染源的有机特征组分.结果表明,各餐馆排放的PM_(2.5)中,有机物占60%以上.在所有定量的有机组分之中,脂肪酸含量最高,其次是二元羧酸和正构烷烃,而多环芳烃、甾醇和单糖等有机组分的含量较低.颗粒物的有机组成特征受到菜系的影响,西餐厅和韩式料理排放脂肪酸、正构烷烃和多环芳烃等有机物含量较高,但却排放了低含量的甾醇和单糖,茶餐厅和职工食堂则相反.餐饮源颗粒物中Fla/(Fla+Pyr)和LG/(Gal+Man)的比值受菜系影响较小,也区别于其他污染源的特征比值,可以作为餐饮源潜在的示踪物.餐饮源为深圳市大气颗粒物贡献了大量的脂肪酸和二元羧酸.     

福建九仙山大气PM10及部分化学组成的季节变化

于2011年3月~2012年1月期间在福建德化县九仙山气象站采集大气PM_(10)样品,分析了九仙山大气PM_(10)中水溶性离子及二元羧酸,对其季节分布与来源进行了探讨.结果表明,九仙山大气PM_(10)、水溶性无机离子和有机二元羧酸的季节分布规律较为接近,都表现为春季的浓度显著高于其它季节,但9种二元羧酸对PM_(10)的贡献(0.51%±0.41%)显著低于水溶性离子(18.07%±8.73%).其中,水溶性离子组成以NO_3~-和SO_4~(2-)的浓度为最高,其次为Na~+和NH_4~+;阴离子与阳离子当量浓度、NH_4~+与SO_4~(2-)当量浓度,以及NH_4~+与NO_3~-当量浓度之间都存在显著正相关关系.有机二元羧酸的组成以乙二酸的浓度为最高,占测量二元羧酸总量的75%左右,且随碳数增加呈逐渐递减趋势;来源特征比值(丙二酸/丁二酸、己二酸/壬二酸)、MODIS火点图及后向轨迹图显示,有机二元羧酸主要来自大气二次化学反应过程,生物质燃烧的直接贡献很小.     

DOC和CDPF对柴油公交车颗粒物组分影响

以一辆柴油公交车为试验样车,在重型底盘测功机上运行中国典型城市公交循环(CCBC),收集尾气颗粒物以分析柴油车安装不同后处理装置的颗粒物组分排放特性.结果表明,原机颗粒物总碳组分中元素碳(EC)比有机碳(OC)多,测得有机组分中,脂肪酸占60.9%,直链烷烃占32.4%,藿烷和PAHs较少.脂肪酸主要是C16:0,C18、C14和C18:1也较多,直链烷烃主要分布于C18~C24,C21H44和C22H46最多.PAHs质量排放以中小分子量为主,Pyr最多,FL和PA也较多,毒性则以中高分子量为主,Ba P毒性最强,B(b+k)F、Ba A以及Icd P也是主要毒性组分.DOC后PAHs总毒性降低2.7%,不同CDPF后总毒性进一步降低89.6%~93.8%.DOC和CDPF对总碳组分的减排率分别为18.9%和70.5%~72.5%,但对不同组分的减排效果差别较大,不同贵金属负载量的CDPF对各组分减排效果无明显影响.     

PM2.5 characterization of primary and secondary organic aerosols in two urban-industrial areas in the East Mediterranean

Primary and secondary organic aerosols in PM_2.5 were investigated over a one-year campaign at Zouk Mikael and Fiaa, Lebanon. The n-alkanes concentrations were quite similar at both sites (26-29 ng/m³) and mainly explained by anthropogenic emissions rather than natural ones. The concentrations of total Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were nearly three times higher at Zouk Mikael (2.56 ng/m³) compared to Fiaa (0.95 ng/m³), especially for indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene linked to the presence of the power plant. A characteristic indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene/(indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene + benzo[g,h,i]perylene) ratio in the range 0.8-1.0 was determined for heavy fuel oil combustion from the power plant. Fatty acids and hopanes were also investigated and were assigned to cooking activities and vehicular emissions respectively. Phthalates were identified for the first time in Lebanon with high concentrations at Zouk and Fiaa (106.88 and 97.68 ng/m³ respectively). Moreover, the biogenic secondary aerosols revealed higher concentrations in summer. The total terpene concentration varied between 131 ng/m³ at Zouk Mikael in winter to 469 ng/m³ at Fiaa in summer. Additionnally, the concentrations of the dicarboxylic acids especially for adipic and phthalic acids were more influenced by anthropogenic sources.The analysis of molecular markers and diagnostic ratios indicated that the sites were strongly affected by anthropogenic sources such as waste open burning, diesel private generators, cooking activities, road transport, power plant, and industrial emissions. Moreover, results showed different pattern during winter and summer seasons. Whereas, higher concentrations of biogenic markers were clearly encountered during the summer period.     

麦秸及其烟尘中正构脂肪酸的组成

在不同燃烧条件下对6种麦草进行焚烧,并利用GC/MS对麦秸和烟尘中的正构脂肪酸进行了测定.结果表明,烟尘中含有碳数C8~C32的正构脂肪酸.在明火烟尘中,正构脂肪酸总含量分布于1 509.3~10 543.7 mg·kg-1之间,平均值为5 871.2mg·kg-1.其轻(C8~C16)、重(C17~C32)正构脂肪酸含量之比(L/H)为0.8~5.3,平均值为2.8;C14/C16、C28/C16、C30/C16等比值的平均值分别为16.5%、14.1%、11.4%.正构脂肪酸呈双峰式分布,其主峰碳数是C16,次峰碳数是C28或C30,且具有显著的偶碳数优势.其碳优势指数(CPI)和平均碳链长度(ACL)的平均值分别为19.8和18.2.在闷烧烟尘中,正构脂肪酸的总含量为5 799.3~37 244 mg·kg-1,平均值为15 838.6 mg·kg-1.其L/H值介于1.2~5.6之间,平均为4.2;C14/C16、C28/C16、C30/C16的平均值分别为12.7%、10.1%、6.0%.闷烧烟尘中正构脂肪酸的分布模式与明火烟尘的类似,其CPI和ACL的平均值分别为24.7和17.7.总之,虽然两类烟尘和麦秸中的正构脂肪酸均具有类似的分布模式和偶碳数优势,但三者在组成上仍然存在明显的差别.这有助于识别大气气溶胶中麦秸及其燃烧排放的正构脂肪酸.     

Measurements of H2O2, aldehydes and organic acids in Los Angeles rainwater: Their sources and deposition rates

Rainwater samples were collected in Los Angeles, during 1985–1991 to determine concentration levels, sources and deposition rates of atmospheric H₂O₂, aldehydes and organic acids, in addition to major cations, anions and pH. Volume-weighted mean concentrations of H₂O₂, aldehydes (formaldehyde + acetaldehyde + glyoxal + methylglyoxal) and organic acids (formic acid + acetic acid) in rain collected at Westwood were 4.4., 3.9 and 16.5 μM, respectively, during the 6-year study period. Monocarboxylic organic acids were estimated to account for 27% (2–80%) of total free acidity (as on overall average) in rain collected at Westwood, whereas sulfuric acid and nitric acid accounted for 39% and 34% of the total acidity, respectively. Concentrations of aldehydes were strongly dependent on precipitation volume and decreased with increasing precipitation volume, whereas H₂O₂ and organic acids were only weakly dependent on precipitation volume. These results indicate that concentrations of aldehydes in rain are mainly controlled by dilution, whereas H₂O₂ and organic acid concentrations are controlled by other factors, such as decomposition of H₂O₂ by reacting with S(IV) and continuous aqueous formation/decomposition of organic acids by reactions involving aldehydes, dissolved OH radicals and H₂O₂. Principal component analyses indicate that aldehydes in rainwater mainly originate from gases and aerosols derived from anthropogenic sources, whereas the sources of H₂O₂ and organic acids in rain do not correlate with anthropogenic sources or marine and continental sources. There is good agreement between reported gas-phase concentrations of H₂O₂, aldehydes and organic acids in Los Angeles and calculated equilibrium concentrations of these chemical species from their rainwater concentrations and Henry's law constants. Temporal variations of concentrations of chemical species indicate that H₂O₂, aldehydes and organic acids were highest in the early afternoon. Summer rains contained the highest concentration of these chemical species, suggesting the photochemical activities during rain storms significantly affect their concentration levels. Estimation of annual rate of wet and dry depositions of H₂O₂, aldehydes and organic acids for the period studied, indicates that 84% of H₂O₂, 97% of aldehydes and 94% of organic acids, respectively, are annually scavenged from the atmosphere, by dry deposition, which is the dominant process for removal of these atmospheric pollutants in Los Angeles.     

岩溶地下河水中多环芳烃、脂肪酸分布特征及来源分析

为探究重庆青木关岩溶地下河水中多环芳烃(PAHs)和脂肪酸的含量组成、分布特征、来源及污染水平,2013年雨季和旱季分别于地下河中进行水样采集,并利用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)对水样中PAHs和脂肪酸的组分进行定量分析.结果表明,青木关地下河水中PAHs和脂肪酸的含量范围分别为77.3~702 ng·L~(-1)和3 302~45 254 ng·L~(-1).组成上,PAHs以2~3环为主,其比例高于90%,脂肪酸碳数范围为C10~C28,以饱和直链脂肪酸为主,其次为单不饱和脂肪酸.分布特征上,雨季:地下河水中各采样点PAHs的含量差异较小,脂肪酸的含量在入口、出露处和出口呈现依次降低的趋势,其中出露处和出口脂肪酸的含量较为接近;旱季:地下河水中PAHs含量在入口、出露处和出口呈现先降后升的趋势,脂肪酸含量在各采样点较为接近.总体上,地下河水中PAHs和脂肪酸的含量都表现为雨季显著高于旱季.来源分析表明,青木关地下河水中PAHs主要来源于该河流域煤和木材、农作物秸秆等生物质的燃烧;脂肪酸主要来自该河流域内硅藻、绿藻等水生藻类和细菌,其中以水生藻类的贡献占主导.地下河水受到PAHs中轻度污染,相对于旱季,雨季污染更严重.     

Biogenic and anthropogenic organic compounds in eolian particulates in the East Mediterranean region—I. Occurrence and origin

Lipids of biogenic and anthropogenic origin were determined in aerosol samples, collected seasonally, in a coastal area on the north of the island of Crete. Lipid classes such as n-alkanes, hopanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty acid salts and α,ω-dicarboxylic acids were characterized by GC/MS and GC/FID analysis, in terms of their contents of homologous compound series. The concentrations ranged between 56 and 215 ng m⁻³ for n-alkanes, 10 and 52 ng m⁻³ for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 2 and 31 ng m⁻³ for fatty alcohols, 13 and 279 ng m⁻³ for fatty acids, 24 and 220 ng m⁻³ for fatty acid salts and 0.4 and 7.5 ng m⁻³ for α, ω-dicarboxylic acid salts. The prevailing winds were influencing the composition of the eolian particles. Generally, aerosols sampled during south wind events predominantly contained lipids originating from higher plants, while when north and northwest winds prevailed the major components were of marine origin. The absence of unsaturated fatty acids in all aerosol samples is related to the presence of α,ω-dicarboxylic acids, which are believed to be their photo-oxidation products.     

Seasonal variation and source apportionment of organic and inorganic compounds in PM2.5 and PM10 particulates in Beijing, China

The distribution and source of the solvent-extractable organic and inorganic components in PM 2.5(aerodynamics equivalent diameter below 2.5 microns),and PM 10(aerodynamics equivalent diameter below 10 microns) fractions of airborne particles were studied weekly from September 2006 to August 2007 in Beijing.The extracted organic and inorganic compounds identified in both particle size ranges consisted of n-alkanes,PAHs(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons),fatty acids and water soluble ions.The potential emission sources of these organic compounds were reconciled by combining the values of n-alkane carbon preference index(CPI),%waxC n,selected diagnostic ratios of PAHs and principal component analysis in both size ranges.The mean cumulative concentrations of n-alkanes reached 1128.65ng/m3 in Beijing,74% of which(i.e.,831.7ng/m3) was in the PM 2.5 fraction,PAHs reached 136.45ng/m3(113.44ng/m3 or 83% in PM 2.5),and fatty acids reached 436.99ng/m3(324.41ng/m3 or 74% in PM 2.5),which resulted in overall enrichment in the fine particles.The average concentrations of SO42-,NO3-,and NH4+ were 21.3±15.2,6.1±1.8,12.5±6.1μg/m3 in PM 2.5,and 25.8±15.5,8.9±2.6,16.9±9.5μg/m3 in PM 10,respectively.These three secondary ions primarily existed as ammonium sulfate((NH4)2SO4),ammonium bisulfate(NH4HSO4) and ammonium nitrate(NH4NO3).The characteristic ratios of PAHs revealed that the primary sources of PAHs were coal combustion,followed by gasoline combustion.The ratios of stearic/palmitic acid indicated the major contribution of vehicle emissions to fatty acids in airborne particles.The major alkane sources were biogenic sources and fossil fuel combustion.The major sources of PAHs were vehicular emission and coal combustion.
