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.

Chemical Characterization, Spatial Distribution, and Source Identification of Organic Matter in PM2.5 in summertime Shanghai, China

Particulate organic matter (POM) has attracted increasing attention recently due to its great contribution to fine particles (PM_2.5) and complex components and sources. In the present study, 78 particulate organic compounds in PM_2.5 were quantified at three sites in Shanghai during summer; these sites were located in urban (Xuhui), suburban (Qingpu), and coastal (Lin''gang) areas of the city. Accordingly, the chemical composition and spatial distribution were investigated and sources were explored based on the indicators and diagnostic ratios combined with backward trajectory. The results showed that during the period of observation, the quantified organic matter in the suburban area is about 319 ng ·m^-3, close to the urban area but much higher than that of the coastal areas. Fatty acids were the largest contributors, followed by levoglucosan, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), n-alkanes, and hopanes. Source analysis based on tracer methods indicates that gasoline vehicle emissions were the main source of POM in Shanghai. Biomass burning from the northeast impacted somewhat on the urban area and western suburbs during the observation period. Terrestrial plant emissions played an important role in the source of fatty acids at Qingpu and Lin''gang, and emissions of marine phytoplankton and microorganisms were also important for fatty acids at Lin''gang. Coal combustion and motor vehicle exhaust made an important contribution to PAHs according to an analysis of diagnostic ratios. This study presented the characteristics and sources of POM in summertime Shanghai, which facilitates the development of an effective control strategy on PM_2.5 pollution.
