Interactions of aerosols (ammonium sulfate,ammonium nitrate and ammonium chloride) and of gases (HCl,HNO3) with fogwater

The concentrations of aerosols (NH₄NO₃, (NH₄)₂SO₄ and NH₄Cl) and of gases (HCl_(g), HNO_3(g), NH_3(g) were determined by denuder methods under different conditions (in the absence of fog, before, during and after fog events). At this site situated in an urban region, high concentrations of the gaseous strong acids HCl_(g) and HNO_3(g) are observed. NH₄Cl and NH₄NO₃ aerosols represent a major fraction of the Cl⁻ and NO₃⁻ aerosols (<2.4 μm)collected by denuders. During a fog event, very high concentrations of SO₄²⁻ were found in small aerosols, which are attributed to the aqueous phase oxidation of SO₂ under the influence of high pH due to the presence of NH₃. Differences in SO₄²⁻ concentrations measured in aerosols (<2.4 μm) and in fog droplets were probably due to mass-transport limitations of the SO₂ oxidation. Ammonium sulfate aerosols represent in some cases a significant fraction of the total S present (SO_2(g) + SO₄²⁻. Soluble aerosols and gases contribute to the composition of fogwater and are released again after fog dissipation.

The chemical composition of intercepted cloudwater in the Sierra Nevada

The chemical composition of cloudwater in the Sierra Nevada is dominated by NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻, and NH₄⁺. Cloudwater pH is determined largely by the balance between the concentrations of these three species, although inputs of formic and acetic acid also are believed to be important, particularly when anthropogenic inputs are small. Cloudwater samples collected in Sequoia National Park (SNP) exhibited pH values ranging from 3.9 to 6.5; Yosemite National Park (YNP) cloudwater samples had pH values ranging from 3.8 to 5.2. Samples collected at YNP were more acidic than those collected at SNP. The difference in pH between the two regions appears to be due to relatively small differences in inputs of NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻, and NH₄⁺. In the absence of inputs of NH₃, cloudwater pH values in the Sierra may fall below 3.Over 250 h of cloud interception were observed during a 12 month period at a cloud monitoring site at 1856 m elevaton in SNP. Estimates of cloudwater deposition of NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻, and NH₄⁺ indicate that cloud interception contributes significantly to regional acid deposition for closed forest canopies. Cloud interception may be the dominant deposition mechanism for isolated conifers and ridgetop canopies, where wind speeds are higher and cloudy air parcels can impact directly on foliar surfaces.     

Chemical and optical properties of aerosols and their interrelationship in winter in the megacity Shanghai of China

A field campaign on air quality was carried out in Shanghai in winter of 2012. The concentrations of NO, NO₂, NO_x, SO₂, CO, and PM_2.5 increased during haze formation. The average masses of SO₄^2-, NO₃^- and NH₄⁺ were 10.3, 11.7 and 6.7 μg/m³ during the haze episodes, which exceeded the average (9.2, 7.9, and 3.4 μg/m³) of these components in the non-haze days. The mean values for the aerosol scattering coefficient (b_sp), aerosol absorption coefficient (b_ap) and single scattering albedo (SSA) were 288.7, 27.7 and 0.91 Mm^-1, respectively. A bi-peak distribution was observed for the mass concentrations of CO, NO, NO₂, and NO_x. More sulfate was produced during daytime than that in the evening due to photochemical reactions. The mass concentration of NH₄⁺ achieved a small peak at noontime. NO₃^- showed lower concentrations in the afternoon and higher concentrations in the early morning. There were obvious bi-peak diurnal patterns for bsp and bap as well as SSA. bsp and bap showed a positive correlation with PM_2.5 mass concentration. (NH₄)₂SO₄, NH₄NO₃, organic mass, elemental carbon and coarse mass accounted for 21.7%, 19.3%, 31.0%, 9.3% and 12.3% of the total extinction coefficient during non-haze days, and 25.6%, 24.3%, 30.1%, 8.1% and 8.2% during hazy days. Organic matter was the largest contributor to light extinction. The contribution proportions of ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate to light extinction were significantly higher during the hazy time than during the non-haze days.     

应用扩散管测量霾污染期间大气氮硫化合物浓度的方法

活性氮和硫化合物在大气颗粒物形成过程中扮演重要角色,但对它们气相/颗粒相的同步观测结果比较缺乏.本研究尝试基于扩散管的DELTA系统测量氮和硫化合物短时累积浓度,以期捕捉它们在霾污染期间的演变规律.结果表明,DELTA系统收集气态污染物的扩散管中以及颗粒物滤膜上NH_4~+和NO-3空白干扰较小,适用于研究NH_3、HNO_3、NH_4~+和NO-3的日均浓度,可以作为城市环境空气质量监测参数的有效补充;但采样系统中SO_2-4背景含量较高,仅适合监测48 h以上时间尺度的SO_2浓度和周~月尺度SO_2-4浓度,用于大气硫沉降观测.北京2016年5月9日~6月7日观测期间,大气NH_3、HNO_3、NH_4~+和NO-3浓度具有明显的逐日演变规律,呈现出随着风向转变而发生周期性波动的典型特征;这些含氮污染物与PM_(2.5)、CO、SO_2和NO_2浓度的变化规律一致,其来源可能与化石燃料燃烧源有关.污染天NH_3、HNO_3、NH_4~+和NO-3浓度约为清洁天的2倍,但还原性氮和氧化性氮的相态分布在清洁天和污染天无明显差异;整个观测期间,HNO_3/NO-3约为1.2,NH_3/NH_4~+为4.5,春夏之交较高的温度有利于活性氮在气粒平衡过程中偏向于气态形式存在.     

Intensive studies of Sierra Nevada cloudwater chemistry and its relationship to precursor aerosol and gas concentrations

Measurements of inorganic aerosol and gas phase species are presented for three sites in central California during a 4 day period in April 1988. The measurement sites were located along an east-west transect at Visalia, Ash Mountain, and Lower Kaweah, with elevations of 90, 550 and 1900 m, respectively. Aerosol compositions were nearly neutral at all locations, however large concentrations of NH₃ at Visalia contributed significant excess alkalinity to the air mass sampled there. Concentrations of all major species were observed to decrease with elevation during most of the sampling periods. Concentrations at the upper two sites exhibited diurnal fluctuations, with peaks in the late afternoon, consistent with the transport of pollutants from San Joaquin Valley sources by daytime upslope winds. Concentrations of most of these species reached a maximum at the elevated sites on 28 April, as a weak cold front approached, reducing the atmospheric stability over the valley floor. Concentrations at Visalia on this day were somewhat lower than those observed earlier in the week.Clouds intercepting the mountain slopes on 28 April were sampled at two locations. The coudwater pH at both sites was observed to fall throughout the event, dropping as low as 4.34. Precursor concentrations of aerosol NO₃⁻, SO₄^2- and NH₄⁺, and gas phase HNO₃ and NH₃, were sufficient to account for the observed cloudwater loadings of NO₃⁻, SO₄^2- and NH₄⁺. In-cloud measurements made near the cloud base indicated a considerable S(IV) oxidation potential in the form of H₂O₂, but only low S(IV) concentrations. Cloudwater concentrations of formic acid were approximately three times acetic acid concentrations. Carbonyl concentrations were dominated by formaldehyde and glyoxal.     

Chemical characterization of acid precipitation in Albany,New York

Chemical composition of precipitation in Albany, NY from July 1986 to December 1988 has been studied. Mean volume-weighted concentrations (μeq^ℓ−1) were: acidity, 104.0; alkalinity, −63.7; SO₄²⁻, 52.8; NO₃⁻, 29.8; Cl⁻, 5.6; F⁻, 0.50; NH₄⁺, 19.3; Ca²⁺, 6.5; Mg²⁺, 2.8; Na⁺, 3.5; and K⁺, 1.4. Mean pH was 4.2 . Seasonal patterns were pronounced for most species. Concentrations of H⁺, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻, NH₄⁺ and Ca²⁺ peaked in the summer and spring. Deposition was related to rainfall amount by a power law relationship in which the exponent of the equation was ∮.6. Wet SO₄²⁻ deposition was 2.35 keq ha⁻¹ over a 30-month period. The SO₄²⁻ and NO₃⁻ deposition rates observed at Albany indicate that transport from midwestern sources have a major influence at this site. On the average, free H⁺ ion concentrations determined from pH measurements accounted for 51% of the measured total acidity. There were unknown species, most likely organic acids, that could contribute to the acidity. Correlation and regression analyses indicated that major anions, SO₄²⁻ and NO₃⁻, were closely associated with H⁺ and NH₄⁺ ions. Factor analysis revealed four common factors which are related to fossil-fuel combustion, sea spray, cement factory and biomass burning.

Chemical characteristics of fine particles and their impact on visibility impairment in Shanghai based on a 1-year period observation

In this work, a one-year observation focusing on high time resolution characteristics of components in fine particles was conducted at an urban site in Shanghai. Contributions of different components on visibility impairment were also studied. Our research indicates that the major components of PM_2.5 in Shanghai are water-soluble inorganic ions and carbonaceous aerosol, accounting for about 60% and 30% respectively. Higher concentrations of sulfate (SO₄²⁻) and organic carbon (OC) in PM_2.5 occurred in fall and summer, while higher concentrations of nitrate (NO₃⁻) were observed in winter and spring. The mass concentrations of Cl⁻ and K⁺ were higher in winter. Moreover, NO₃⁻ increased significantly during PM_2.5 pollution episodes. The high values observed for the sulfate oxidizing rate (SOR), nitrate oxidizing rate (NOR) and secondary organic carbon (SOC) in OC indicate that photochemical reactions were quite active in Shanghai. The IMPROVE (Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments) formula was used in this study to investigate the contributions of individual PM_2.5 chemical components to the light extinction efficient in Shanghai. Both NH₄NO₃ and (NH₄)₂SO₄ had close relationships with visibility impairment in Shanghai. Our results show that the reduction of anthropogenic SO₂, NO_x and NH₃ would have a significant effect on the improvement of air quality and visibility in Shanghai.     

广州干湿季典型灰霾过程水溶性离子成分对比分析

利用广州气象台2011年地面逐时能见度和相对湿度数据,以及广州番禺南村大气成分站2011年逐时Marga数据、PM数据,对比分析了一次湿季(4—9月)灰霾过程和干季(10月—次年3月)灰霾过程的污染特征.研究表明,相对干季灰霾过程,湿季灰霾过程颗粒物浓度较低,且细粒子所占比例较高;由于湿季较干季光化学反应较为活跃及可能受气象因素的不同影响,导致干湿季灰霾过程颗粒物浓度的总体变化趋势相反;湿季灰霾过程二次无机离子(SO_4~(2-)、NH_4~+和NO_3~-)占PM_(2.5)质量百分比的76%,是PM_(2.5)的主要成分;干季灰霾过程二次无机离子(SO_4~(2-)、NH_4~+和NO_3~-)仅占PM_(2.5)质量百分比的34%;湿季硫氧化率(Sulfur Oxidation Ratio,SOR)、氮氧化率(Nitrogen Oxidation Ratio,NOR)值大于干季,说明二次离子对湿季灰霾的贡献比干季要大;湿季灰霾过程中气溶胶酸性比干季弱.根据相关性分析结果可知,湿季灰霾过程中,NH_4~+主要与SO_4~(2-)结合,Na+主要与Cl-及NO_3~-结合,K+主要与Cl-和NO_3~-结合,极少部分与SO_4~(2-)结合;而在干季灰霾过程中,NH_4~+除了与SO_4~(2-)结合之外,还以NH_4NO_3和NH_4Cl的形式存在,K~+主要与Cl~-和SO_4~(2-)结合,Na+主要与Cl~-及SO_4~(2-)结合.     

Elements in the precipitation of S. Paulo City (Brazil)

Rainwater samples in S. Paulo city were collected on an event basis from October 1983 to October 1985 covering two dry and two rainy periods. Bulk samples only were obtained. At the same site and period, fine, coarse and inhalable particles were also collected. Na⁺, Ca²⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻ and NH₄⁺ contents were determined in rainwater samples, while Na, Ca, K, Cl and S concentrations were measured in aerosol samples. Rainwater is slightly acid (mean pH = 5.0), and contains high concentrations of Ca²⁺, NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻ and NH₄⁺. Dry and wet fluxes and washout ratios were determined for some elements. Results obtained suggest that the atmospheric composition in this city is strongly influenced by anthropogenic sources.     

Source-receptor relationships for wet SO42− and NO3− production

Precipitation chemistry data for the years 1982–1985 from 110 stations distributed across the continental U.S. and southern Ontario Province are used to describe the geographic distributions of SO₄²⁻ and NO₃⁻ in precipitation. Volume-weighted, wet SO₄²⁻ and NO₃⁻ concentrations, averaged over the 4 years of observation by season and annullly, show coherent patterns with maxima in the northeastern U.S. and southeastern Canada about ten times greater than the minima observed in the Intermountain and Pacific Northwest regions.Tests for empirical source-receptor relationships indicate that, in land areas with relatively low emissions of SO₂ and NO_x, the associations between wet SO₄²⁻ concentrations and SO₂ emissions and between wet NO₃⁻ concentrations and NO_x emissions within 560 km of each precipitation chemistry station are weak or nonexistent (r²⩽0.42). The remaining land areas show moderate to strong associations between SO₂ and SO₄²⁻ and NO_x and NO₃⁻ during the spring and summer, but only weak to nonexistent associations during the winter. The associations between emissions and concentrations, e.g. SO₂ and SO₄²⁻, are equally well represented by either a linear or a power law function. However, at the level of aggregation employed, the data do not substantiate a linear-proportional relationship between concentrations and anthropogenic emissions. Furthermore, emissions of SO₂ and NO_x are highly correlated, as are the emissions of RHC and NO_x.     

Measurements of atmospheric HNO3, HCl and associated species on a small network in eastern England

Measurements of gaseous HNO₃, HCl and NH₃ and particulate NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻, Cl⁻ and NH₄⁺ have been made at a small network of sites in eastern England using sampling intervals from 3 h to 7 days. Both HCl and HNO₃ are spatially rather uniform, with some variation apparently due to spatial variations in NH₃, which stoichiometrically exeeded the sum of both gaseous acids. Mean concentrations of NH₃, HCl and HNO₃ between February 1987 and January 1988 were 1.90, 0.67 and 1.01 μg m⁻³, respectively. Pollution roses revealed low NH₃ concentrations, and high associated HCl and HNO₃ with winds from the North Sea. HCl, but not HNO₃ showed an appreciable elevation in concentration on the sector NW from our site, which we speculate may be due to the large capacity of coal-fired power stations in this upwind sector. Three-hourly data have been examined for diurnal effects and its is concluded that nocturnal formation of NO₃⁻ is occurring.     

Fogwater chemistry at Riverside,California

Fog, aerosol, and gas samples were collected during the winter of 1986 at Riverside, California. The dominant components of the aerosol were NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻, and SO₄₂₋. Gaseous NH₃ was frequently present at levels equal to or exceeding the aerosol NH₄⁺. Maximum level were 3800, 3100, 690 and 4540 neq m⁻³ for NH₄⁺, NO₃²⁻ and NH_3(g), respectively. The fogwater collected at Riverside had very high concentrations, particularly of the major aerosol components. Maximum concentrations were 26,000 29,000 and 6200 μM for NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻ and SO₄²⁻, respectively. pH values in fogwater ranged from 2.3 to 5.7. Formate and acetate concentrations as high as 1500 and 580 μM, respectively, were measured. The maximum CH₂O concentration was 380 μM. Glyoxal and methylglyoxal were found in all the samples; their maximum concentrations were 280 and 120 μM, respectively. Comparison of fogwater and aerosol concentrations indicates that scavenging of precursor aerosol by fog droplets under the conditions at Riverside is less than 100% efficient.The chemistry at Riverside is controlled by the balance between HNO₃ production from NO_x emitted throughout the Los Angeles basin and NH₃ emitted from dairy cattle feedlots just west of Riverside. The balance is controlled by local mixing. Acid fogs result at Riverside when drainage flows from the surrounding mountains isolate the site from the NH₃ source. Continued formation of HNO_3(g) in this air mass eventually depletes the residual NH_3(g). A simple box model that includes deposition, fog scavenging, and dilution is used to assess the effect of curtailing the dairy cattle feedlot operations. The calculations suggest that the resulting reduction of NH₃ levels would decrease the total NO₃⁻ in the atmosphere, but nearly all remaining NO₃⁻ would exist as HNO₃. Fogwater in the basin would be uniformly acidic.     

Cloud chemistry at Mt Rigi,Switzerland: Dependence on drop size and relationship to precipitation chemistry

The chemical composition of winter and spring cloud water sampled at 1620 masl elevation on Mt Rigi in central Switzerland was dominated by NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻, NH₄⁺ and H⁺. A wide range of concentration levels was observed, with maxima of 3700, 1800 and 4600 micronormal for NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻ and NH₄⁺, respectively. Concentrations at a lower elevation (1030 masl) site on the mountain were higher due to lower cloud liquid water contents and higher pollutant levels at that site. The lowest pH observed was 2.95; large concentrations of NH₃ in the region prevented pH values from falling even lower. A comparison of simultaneously sampled cloud water and precipitation revealed much higher concentrations for most species in the cloud water, except in one case of extreme precipitation riming when the concentrations in the two phases converged. An exception to the pattern was H⁺; at times the precipitation was more acidic than the cloud water. The chemical composition of the cloud drops varied with drop size. Drops smaller than 10 μm diameter were enriched in NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻ and NH₄⁺ relative to larger drops. Since the larger drops are the ones most effeciently captured by snow crystals, knowledge of their composition is essential to understanding the chemical implications of accretional growth of precipitation.     

被动采样法观测研究京津冀区域大气中气态污染物

为了对京津冀区域的大气污染物进行观测,揭示污染物浓度和组分的时空分布和变化规律,深入了解区域复合型污染,从2007年12月开始使用造价低、操作简捷的被动采样方法对区域10个站点大气中的SO2、NO2、O3和NH3等主要污染物进行了监测,对被动采样方法的区域适用性进行了比较全面的评估并根据监测结果对污染物的浓度水平和区域分布进行了研究.方法适用性评估表明被动采样方法在污染较严重的京津冀区域能进行长时间采样,采样频率设定为每月1次;平行采样结果显示,SO2、NO2、O3和NH3的变异系数分别为6.4%、7.1%、4.2%和3.9%,方法表现出良好的稳定性;每月1次的被动采样浓度结果与主动采样仪器观测结果月平均值相比具有较好的一致性,SO2、NO2和O3这2种方法监测结果的相关系数达到0.91、0.88和0.93,拟合曲线斜率分别为1.25、0.98和0.93,平均相对标准偏差分别为23.3%、14.9%和8.5%,能基本满足大气采样的要求,NH3的短时监测也表明2种方法具有可比性.评估结果说明被动采样方法是一种可靠的大气污染监测方法,可用于区域污染的监测.2008年夏季京津冀区域10个站点SO2、NO2、O3和NH3的被动采样平均浓度分别(12.3±6.3)×10-9、(13.2±7.0)×10-9、(40.5±9.5)×10-9和(24.0±13.7)×10-9.浓度区域分布显示SO2和NO2在城市站点具有较高浓度,而NH3在农业站点的浓度较高,SO2、NO2和NH3的大气浓度水平明显受局地排放影响,浓度分布较直观的反应了站点的局地源排放;而O3除了背景站兴隆,在北京和天津周边的大小城市,平均浓度都在40×10-9左右,表现出区域协同污染特征.     

使用RCFP-IC对南京市不同污染状况下PM_(2.5)中水溶性离子的观测分析

本文使用大气细颗粒物快速捕集系统及化学成分在线分析系统(RCFP-IC)和美国热电污染气体分析系统(EMS系统)对2013年11月16日—12月10日南京地区PM2.5中主要水溶性离子和污染气体进行了观测分析,并结合气象要素数据分析了灰霾天PM2.5中主要水溶性离子的污染特征.结果表明:不同污染条件下PM2.5中水溶性离子分布差异较大,清洁天浓度最大的6种离子排序为SO2-4NO-3NH+4Cl-NO-2K+,霾天(11月20—24日)和雾-霾天(12月1—8日)前6种离子排序分别是SO2-4NH+4NO-3NO-2Cl-K+和NO-3SO2-4NH+4Cl-NO-2K+.受污染源和化学反应的日变化影响,不同离子的日变化特征不同.污染天NO-3、SO2-4和NH+4的浓度是干净天的2.8~5.0倍.不同水溶性离子对能见度的影响不同.     

Scavenging ratios and deposition of sulphur,nitrogen and chlorine species in eastern England

Measurements of wet deposited NH₄⁺, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻ and Cl⁻, as well as airborne concentrations of these species and gaseous HNO₃, HCl and NH₃, have been made at a site in eastern England. Scavenging ratios based solely upon aerosol-associated species and upon aerosol plus gaseous airborne species are presented and compared with literature values. It appears that HCl and HNO₃ have only a rather minor influence upon wet deposition at our site. Gaseous NH₃ influences ground-level air chemistry appreciably, but scavenging ratios for NH₄⁺ are low, even when based upon aerosol NH₄⁺ concentrations alone, presumably due to altitudinal gradients in this species. The problems inherent in interpretation of scavenging ratios are discussed. Deposition of nitrogen in various chemical forms is estimated from rainwater and air composition. If a transport-limited deposition velocity is assumed for ammonia gas, dry deposition of this species accounts for around 40% of total nitrogen deposition to the ground.     

海峡西岸经济区大气污染物排放清单的初步估算

以2009年为基准年,结合污染源普查数据、统计年鉴及工业活动、居民生活等多个方面对海峡西岸经济区包括SO2、NOx、PM2.5、VOCs和NH3在内的大气污染物的排放量进行了估算,建立了海西区大气污染物排放清单.结果发现,上述5类污染物基准年的排放量分别为40.67×104、55.84×104、50.57×104、152.26×104和26.18×104t.其中,SO2、NOx及PM2.5的排放主要来自电厂,占排放总量的比例分别为25.58%、34.89%和38.75%;VOCs和NH3的主要排放源分别来自植被排放和养殖业,其贡献量分别为49.12%和47.07%.采用GIS对排放清单进行网格化处理,得出SO2、NOx及PM2.5的高排放强度区域与固定源的空间分布较为一致.此外,结合国家和地方"十二五"发展规划,采用情景分析方法估算了2015年海西区大气污染物的排放清单.与基准年相比,SO2、NOx和NH3的排放量呈下降趋势,PM2.5和VOCs的排放量呈大幅度增加.基准年排放清单的不确定性分析显示,VOCs排放估算的不确定度最大,为225%.     

The spatial distribution and particle size of some inorganic nitrogen,sulphur and chlorine species over the North Sea

The use of filter packs and a cascade impactor during a series of research cruises in the southern area of the North Sea has yielded detailed spatial distribution patterns of aerosol concentrations, Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻¹ and NH₄⁺ and gaseous concentrations, HCl, HNO₃ and NH₃. The overall distribution of the atmospheric concentrations closely parallels published modelled results for metallic species. The chemical transformations of these aerosols and gases are investigated together with their interactions with the seasalt aerosol. Aerosol chloride loss is greatest in the more polluted areas, whilst concentrations products of NH₃ with HNO₃ and HCl appear insufficient to sustain the existence of NH₄NO₃ and NH₄Cl. Nitrate is associated predominantly with larger particles and appears to be present substantially as a surface coating on marine aerosol. The total dry deposition input for nitrogen species is calculated for the southern sector with extrapolation to the whole of the North Sea, using particle size weighted deposition velocities of 0.63 and 0.21 cm s⁻¹ for NO₃⁻¹ and NH₄⁺, respectively, and literature-derived values for the gaseous constituents. Finally the use of air-mass back trajectories illustrates the role of source regions in influencing the chemical composition of the North Sea atmosphere.
