Role of secondary aerosols in haze formation in summer in the Megacity Beijing

A field experiment from 18 August to 8 September 2006 in Beijing, China, was carried out. A hazy day was defined as visibility < l0 km and RH (relative humidity) < 90%. Four haze episodes, which accounted for ~ 60% of the time during the whole campaign, were characterized by increases of SNA (sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium) and SOA (secondary organic aerosol) concentrations. The average values with standard deviation of SO₄^2 −, NO₃⁻, NH₄⁺ and SOA were 49.8 (± 31.6), 31.4 (± 22.3), 25.8 (± 16.6) and 8.9 (± 4.1) μg/m³, respectively, during the haze episodes, which were 4.3, 3.4, 4.1, and 1.7 times those in the non-haze days. The SO₄^2 −, NO₃⁻, NH₄⁺, and SOA accounted for 15.8%, 8.8%, 7.3%, and 6.0% of the total mass concentration of PM₁₀ during the non-haze days. The respective contributions of SNA species to PM₁₀ rose to about 27.2%, 15.9%, and 13.9% during the haze days, while the contributions of SOA maintained the same level with a slight decrease to about 4.9%. The observed mass concentrations of SNA and SOA increased with the increase of PM₁₀ mass concentration, however, the rate of increase of SNA was much faster than that of the SOA. The SOR (sulfur oxidation ratio) and NOR (nitrogen oxidation ratio) increased from non-haze days to hazy days, and increased with the increase of RH. High concentrations of aerosols and water vapor favored the conversion of SO₂ to SO₄^2 − and NO₂ to NO₃⁻, which accelerated the accumulation of the aerosols and resulted in the formation of haze in Beijing.     

A monitoring-modeling approach to SO42 − and NO3− secondary conversion ratio estimation during haze periods in Beijing, China

SO_4~(2-) and NO_3~- are important chemical components of fine particulate matter(PM_(2.5)),especially during haze periods.This study selected two haze episodes in Beijing,China with similar meteorological conditions.A monitoring-modeling approach was developed to estimate the secondary conversion ratios of sulfur and nitrogen based on monitored and simulated concentrations.Measurements showed that in Episode 1(24th–25th October,2014),the concentrations(proportions)of SO_4~(2-) and NO_3~- reached 35.1μg/m~3(14.9%) and 55.0μg/m~3(22.9%),while they reached 14.4μg/m~3(9.3%) and 59.1μg/m~3(38.1%)in Episode 2(26th–27th October,2017).A modeling system was applied to apportion Beijing's SO_4~(2-) and NO_3~- in primary and secondary SO_4~(2-)/NO_3~- emitted from local and regional sources.Thus,secondary conversion contributions considering the local and regional level were defined.The former primarily focused on Beijing atmospheric oxidation ability and the latter mainly considered the existence form of Beijing SO_4~(2-)/NO_3~- under the regional transport impacts.Finally,secondary oxidation ratios were estimated through combining secondary conversion contribution coefficients for simulated and monitored concentrations.At regional level,sulfur oxidation ratios in polluted(clean)days during two sampling periods were0.57–0.72(0.07–0.52)and 0.74–0.80(0.08–0.61),nitrogen oxidation ratios were 0.20–0.29(0.05–0.15)and 0.34–0.38(0.02–0.29),indicating that atmospheric oxidation was enhanced when considering regional transport through 2014–2017.At the local level,sulfur oxidation ratios were 0.66–0.71(0.04–0.48)in haze(clean)days,while nitrogen oxidation ratios were0.16–0.29(0.02–0.16).The atmospheric oxidation ability markedly increased in PM_(2.5)pollution days,but changed only slightly between the two periods.     

北京大气PM2.5中铅的同位素测定和来源研究

用石英滤膜连续采集北京2003-02～2003-03的12个PM_2.5样品,进行无机多元素、OC、EC和铅同位素丰度比的分析测定.对样品进行聚类分析,结合气象信息讨论了分组结果,描述了2003年春北京市的2个大气铅污染过程.2个污染过程均表现出铅含量高,²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb丰度比低的特点.Al、Ca、K等地壳元素的含量与Pb的含量负相关,表明土壤尘对铅的贡献不大.比较Pb、As、Zn、Se和Al、Ca等地壳元素含量的相关性,2个铅污染过程是由有色冶金排放和燃煤排放共同主导的.而02-28～03-02的铅污染过程中,燃煤排放贡献增大,有色冶金排放贡献下降.结果表明,汽油无铅化以后,北京市春季大气颗粒物中的铅主要来源于有色冶金排放与燃煤排放.

超大城市SO2排放对硫酸盐区域分布影响的观测与模拟

2002年8月14—24日在临安采集气溶胶样品,对气溶胶质往往w量和离子成分的尺度分布进行分析.结果表明:SO₄2-主要集中在粒径<2.1 μm的细粒子中,约占所有尺度段上SO42-质量总和的94%;细粒子(PM_2.1)中,ρ(SO₄2-)和ρ(NH₄+)最高,二者之和占所分析离子质量浓度总和的89%. 利用公共多尺度空气质量模式(CMAQ)的过程分析对影响硫酸盐气溶胶分布特征的主要因子进行定量评估,结果表明:经过云内液相氧化和湿清除形成硫酸盐气溶胶的速率为0.19 μg/(m3·h),其对硫酸盐气溶胶的贡献最大;SO₂液相氧化反应中速率最大的是H₂O₂〔5.26 μg/(m3·h)〕,其次是O₂〔4.14 μg/(m3·h)〕和O₃〔1.56 μg/(m3·h)〕. 模拟分析证明,采样期间研究区域SO₄2-主要是由上海及其以南的浙江沿海一带通过SO₂云内与H₂O₂和O₂的液相氧化反应生成. 通过模式敏感性试验发现,在个例的风场配置下,上海排放的SO₂对临安地区的SO₂和硫酸盐的贡献率分别达15%和22%.      

不同浓度臭氧对单颗粒气溶胶化学组成的影响

为探讨高浓度臭氧(O_3)对气溶胶生成与老化过程的影响,本研究利用单颗粒气溶胶质谱仪(SPAMS)于2018年10月在广东省鹤山大气环境超级监测站进行观测.观测期间根据O_3浓度的高低,定义了高臭氧浓度(P_H)时段和低臭氧浓度(P_L)时段,其中P_H时段O_3平均浓度为117μg·m~(-3),P_L时段平均浓度为25μg·m~(-3).依据化学组成的不同,观测期间单颗粒主要包含老化元素碳颗粒(EC-aged)、二次颗粒(Sec)和老化有机碳颗粒(OC-aged).P_H时段单颗粒总数(348 085)高于P_L时段(224 797),且P_H时段Sec颗粒(37.1%)的占比显著高于P_L时段(27.8%),而EC-aged颗粒(32.1%)则低于P_L时段(44.1%),OC-aged颗粒(13.5%)略高于P_L时段(10.4%).含硝酸盐(nitrate)和硫酸盐(sulfate)的颗粒数浓度在P_H时段有显著的昼夜变化,而在P_L时段无昼夜变化,Sec颗粒和EC-aged颗粒中硝酸盐和硫酸盐的峰面积P_H时段高于P_L时段,表明在P_H时段通过二次反应过程生成硝酸盐和硫酸盐的量多于P_L时段.此外,Sec颗粒中硝酸盐和硫酸盐的峰面积显著高于EC-aged颗粒,表明Sec颗粒的老化程度更深.本研究选取了乙酸根(~(59)CH_3CO~-_2)和乙二醛(~(73)C_2HO~-_3)来代表醛酮化合物在单颗粒气溶胶中的变化特征.P_H时段Sec和OC-aged颗粒中~(59)CH_3CO~-_2和~(73)C_2HO~-_3的数浓度与峰面积显著高于P_L时段,且在P_H时段呈现显著的日变化特征,峰值出现在O_3浓度高峰后2 h,在P_L时段峰值显著降低,该变化趋势与Sec和OC-aged颗粒的数浓度变化特征相同,表明高浓度O_3有利于VOCs氧化生成~(59)CH_3CO~-_2和~(73)C_2HO~-_3.综上,高臭氧浓度时段光化学反应较强,二次气溶胶组分的含量显著增加,光化学反应增强是P_H时段臭氧浓度升高和单颗粒中二次组分增加的主要原因.     

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.     

Pollution sources of atmospheric fine particles and secondary aerosol characteristics in Beijing

To investigate the secondary formation and pollution sources of atmospheric particles in urban Beijing, PM_2.5 and its chemical components were collected and determined by URG-9000D ambient ion monitor (AIM) from March 2016 to January 2017. Among water-soluble ions (WSIs), NO₃^?, SO₄^2- and NH₄⁺ (SNA) had the largest proportion (77.8%) with the total concentration of 23.8 μg/m³. Moreover, as fine particle pollution worsened, the NO₃^?, SO₄^2- and NH₄⁺ concentrations increased basically, which revealed that secondary aerosols were the main cause of particle pollution in Beijing. Furthermore, the particle neutralization ratio (1.1), the ammonia to sulfate molar ratio (3.4) and the nitrate to sulfate molar ratio (2.2) showed that secondary aerosols are under ammonium-rich conditions with the main chemical forms of NH₄NO₃ and (NH₄)₂SO₄, and vehicle emission could be the main anthropogenic source of secondary aerosols in Beijing. Source analysis further indicated that secondary aerosols, solid fuel combustion, dust and marine aerosol were the principal pollution sources of PM_2.5, accounting for about 46.1%, 22.4% and 13.0%, respectively, and Inner Mongolia and Hebei Provinces could be considered as the main potential sources of PM_2.5 in urban Beijing. In addition, secondary formation process was closely related with gaseous precursor emission amounts (SO₂, NO₂, NH₃ and HONO), atmospheric ozone concentration (O₃), meteorological conditions (temperature and relative humidity) and particle components. Sensitive analysis of the thermodynamic equilibrium model (ISORROPIA II) revealed that controlling total nitrate (TN) is the effective measure to mitigate fine particle pollution in Beijing.     

珠江三角洲区域大气二次有机气溶胶的数值模拟

二次有机气溶胶是大气颗粒物污染的重要组分之一,确定大气中二次有机气溶胶污染状况及来源是深入了解大气颗粒物污染发生、演变规律及其影响因素的前提.基于珠江三角洲区域的污染源和气象资料,利用耦合了二次有机气溶胶模块的二维空气质量模式对区域尺度上的大气二次有机气溶胶污染状况和来源进行了模拟研究.结果表明,二次有机气溶胶生成具有明显的光化学反应特征,浓度高值出现在14:00左右;源排放较大的广州和东莞的部分地区及其下风向的中山、珠海和江门部分地区SOA浓度较高;几类主要污染源对SOA的贡献率分别为:生物源72.6%,流动源30.7%,点源12%,溶剂、油漆源12%,面源不足5%.     

Effect of NOx and SO2 on the photooxidation of methylglyoxal: Implications in secondary aerosol formation

Methylglyoxal(CH_3COCHO,MG),which is one of the most abundant α-dicarbonyl compounds in the atmosphere,has been reported as a major source of secondary organic aerosol(SOA).In this work,the reaction of MG with hydroxyl radicals was studied in a 500 L smog chamber at(293±3) K,atmospheric pressure,(18±2)% relative humidity,and under different NOx and SO_2.Particle size distribution was measured by using a scanning mobility particle sizer(SMPS) and the results showed that the addition of SO_2 can promote SOA formation,while different NOx concentrations have different influences on SOA production.High NOx suppressed the SOA formation,whereas the particle mass concentration,particle number concentration and particle geometric mean diameter increased with the increasing NOx concentration at low NOx concentration in the presence of SO_2.In addition,the products of the OH-initiated oxidation of MG and the functional groups of the particle phase in the MG/OH/SO_2 and MG/OH/NOx/SO_2 reaction systems were detected by gas chromatography mass spectrometry(GC-MS) and attenuated total reflection fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy(ATR-FTIR) analysis.Two products,glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid,were detected by GC-MS.The mechanism of the reaction of MG and OH radicals that follows two main pathways,H atom abstraction and hydration,is proposed.Evidence is provided for the formation of organic nitrates and organic sulfate in particle phase from IR spectra.Incorporation of NOx and SO_2 influence suggested that SOA formation from anthropogenic hydrocarbons may be more efficient in polluted environment.     

广东省春季一次酸雨过程的数值模拟

深圳市城区大气颗粒物及主要水溶性无机离子的污染特征

基于2015年深圳市大气颗粒物和主要水溶性无机离子的观测数据,深入分析了大气颗粒物的浓度变化及二次污染特征.结果表明2015年深圳的大气颗粒物（PM₁₀、PM_2.5、PM₁）浓度虽然低,但其中细粒子占比高,PM_2.5/PM₁₀的比值高达0.744,甚至大于广州典型灰霾过程中的粗细粒子比.大气颗粒物浓度季节变化明显,秋冬高,春夏低.其日变化特征明显受到交通高峰的影响,汽车尾气可能是污染来源之一.SO₄^2-、NO₃^-和NH₄⁺（SNA）质量浓度在PM_2.5中的占比超过1/3（37.7%）,且全年硫转化率都大于0.1,这说明深圳市细颗粒物主要来自于二次转化.深圳大气颗粒物浓度受气象要素影响显著,与气压正相关,与气温、相对湿度、降水及风速负相关;若将风速、气温、气压、相对湿度和降水作为一个整体考虑,这些气象要素对深圳大气颗粒物浓度的影响大小是PM₁ > PM₁₀ > PM_2.5.本工作不仅对深圳的大气环境管理和经济可持续发展有着重要参考价值,还对空气相对清洁地区的大气颗粒物和霾治理具有指导意义.

Seasonal variation and size distribution of biogenic secondary organic aerosols at urban and continental background sites of China

Size-resolved biogenic secondary organic aerosols(BSOA) derived from isoprene and monoterpene photooxidation in Qinghai Lake, Tibetan Plateau(a continental background site) and five cities of China were measured using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC/MS). Concentrations of the determined BSOA are higher in the cities than in the background and are also higher in summer than in winter. Moreover, strong positive correlations(R2= 0.44–0.90) between BSOA and sulfate were found at the six sites,suggesting that anthropogenic pollution(i.e., sulfate) could enhance SOA formation,because sulfate provides a surface favorable for acid-catalyzed formation of BSOA. Size distribution measurements showed that most of the determined SOA tracers are enriched in the fine mode( 3.3 μm) except for cis-pinic and cis-pinonic acids, both presented a comparable mass in the fine and coarse( 3.3 μm) modes, respectively. Mass ratio of oxidation products derived from isoprene to those from monoterpene in the five urban regions during summer are much less than those in Qinghai Lake region. In addition, in the five urban regions relative abundances of monoterpene oxidation products to SOA are much higher than those of isoprene. Such phenomena suggest that BSOA derived from monoterpenes are more abundant than those from isoprene in Chinese urban areas.
