使用中流量采样器采集温州城区2015年4个季节的大气PM_(2.5)样品,利用气相色谱(GC)—质谱(MS)联用仪对PM_(2.5)样品中16种优先控制的多环芳烃(PAHs)进行分析,研究PM_(2.5)中PAHs的污染特征及其可能来源。结果显示,PM_(2.5)中总PAHs质量浓度为5.12~81.59ng/m~3,且表现为冬季秋季春季夏季,季节性变化特征明显。比值法和主成分分析显示,温州城区大气PM_(2.5)中PAHs的主要污染源是燃煤、机动车尾气以及生物质燃烧。总PAHs日均毒性当量浓度为0.44~11.28ng TEFs/m~3,平均值为3.44ng TEFs/m~3。成人和儿童的终生超额致癌风险(ILCR)年均值分别为7.11×10~(-7)、4.98×10~(-7),表明温州城区PM_(2.5)中PAHs对人体健康影响水平较低,在可接受范围内。     

东莞市大气PM_(10)、PM_(2.5)、PM_1中多环芳烃/正构烷烃的污染特征和来源解析

2011年8月—2012年7月间于东莞市生活区(NC)点和工业区(ZT)点采集大气PM10/PM2.5/PM1样品,并检测分析了颗粒物上的多环芳烃(PAHs)和正构烷烃。粒径分布结果显示,PAHs和正构烷烃均主要富集在PM1上,而正构烷烃富集程度更高。PAHs环数分析结果显示,PM1中主导PAHs为6环,PM1~2.5和PM2.5~10中则为4环。利用特定比值法分析PAHs来源,结果表明,生活区NC点大气颗粒物中PAHs主要来自汽油车尾气、天然气燃烧、燃煤源和烹饪源,而工业区ZT点则主要来自柴油车尾气、燃煤和木材燃烧。通过主峰碳数、碳优势指数、植物蜡贡献率等方法分析正构烷烃来源,结果表明,化石燃料燃烧是东莞市大气颗粒物中正构烷烃的主要贡献源,其次是高等植物蜡排放,贡献率约为10.9%~28.9%。化石燃料燃烧源贡献率对PM1的贡献率明显较PM1~2.5和PM2.5~10高。     

西安市燃煤锅炉排放颗粒物中PM_(2.5)和PM_(10)的组分研究

为了解西安市燃煤锅炉排放颗粒物的组分情况,采用稀释通道采样,用滤膜采集了西安市3台链条炉排放颗粒物中的PM_(2.5)和PM_(10),并利用离子色谱仪(IC)、电感耦合等离子体质谱仪(ICP-MS)和碳分析仪等分析了其中的主要组分。实验结果表明,燃煤锅炉排放颗粒物中PM_(2.5)和PM_(10)的主要组分有SO_4~(2-)、NH_4~+、Cl~-、有机碳(OC)、元素碳(EC)、Al、Si。Si、Ca等地壳元素在PM_(10)中所占比例多于PM_(2.5),而NO_3~-、NH_4~+、OC等二次生成物在PM_(2.5)中所占比例多于PM_(10)。对比PM_(2.5)和PM_(10)组分可以发现,同种组分在不同燃煤锅炉排放的PM_(2.5)和PM_(10)中分布差异很大,这可能与除尘、脱硝等工艺密切相关。研究内容对西安市大气颗粒物源解析工作具有重要的参考价值,为西安市颗粒物源解析项目积累了一定的经验。

Trends in arsenic levels in PM10 and PM2.5 aerosol fractions in an industrialized area

Arsenic is a toxic element that affects human health and is widely distributed in the environment. In the area of study, the main Spanish and second largest European industrial ceramic cluster, the main source of arsenic aerosol is related to the impurities in some boracic minerals used in the ceramic process. Epidemiological studies on cancer occurrence in Spain points out the study region as one with the greater risk of cancer. Concentrations of particulate matter and arsenic content in PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 were measured and characterized by ICP-MS in the area of study during the years 2005–2010. Concentrations of PM₁₀ and its arsenic content range from 27 to 46 μg/m³ and from 0.7 to 6 ng/m³ in the industrial area, respectively, and from 25 to 40 μg/m³ and from 0.7 to 2.8 ng/m³ in the urban area, respectively. Concentrations of PM_2.5 and its arsenic content range from 12 to 14 μg/m³ and from 0.5 to 1.4 ng/m³ in the urban background area, respectively. Most of the arsenic content is present in the fine fraction, with ratios of PM_2.5/PM₁₀ in the range of 0.65–0.87. PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and its arsenic content show a sharp decrease in recent years associated with the economic downturn, which severely hit the production of ceramic materials in the area under study. The sharp production decrease due to the economic crisis combined with several technological improvements in recent years such as substitution of boron, which contains As impurities as raw material, have reduced the concentrations of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and As in air to an extent that currently meets the existing European regulations.     

Investigation of PM2.5 and carbon dioxide levels in urban homes

PM_2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5 μm) samples were collected in the indoor environments of 15 urban homes and their adjacent outdoor environments in Alexandria, Egypt, during the spring time. Indoor and outdoor carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels were also measured concurrently. The results showed that indoor and outdoor PM_2.5 concentrations in the 15 sites, with daily averages of 45.5 ± 11.1 and 47.3 ± 12.9 µg/m³, respectively, were significantly higher than the ambient 24-hr PM_2.5 standard of 35 µg/m³ recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The indoor PM_2.5 and CO₂ levels were correlated with the corresponding outdoor levels, demonstrating that outdoor convection and infiltration could lead to direct transportation indoors. Ventilation rates were also measured in the selected residences and ranged from 1.6 to 4.5 hr^?1 with median value of 3.3 hr^?1. The indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratios of the monitored homes varied from 0.73 to 1.65 with average value of 0.99 ± 0.26 for PM_2.5, whereas those for CO₂ ranged from 1.13 to 1.66 with average value of 1.41 ± 0.15. Indoor sources and personal activities, including smoking and cooking, were found to significantly influence indoor levels.

Implications: Few studies on indoor air quality were carried out in Egypt, and the scarce data resulted from such studies do not allow accurate assessment of the current situation to take necessary preventive actions. The current research investigates indoor levels of PM_2.5 and CO₂ in a number of homes located in the city of Alexandria as well as the potential contribution from both indoor and outdoor sources. The study draws attention of policymakers to the importance of the establishment of national indoor air quality standards to protect human health and control air pollution in different indoor environments.     

The composition and sources of PM2.5 organic aerosol in two urban areas of Chile

Fine particle (PM_2.5) samples were collected, using a charcoal diffusion denuder, in two urban areas of Chile, Santiago and Temuco, during the winter and spring season of 1998. Molecular markers of the organic aerosol were determined using GC/MS. Diagnostic ratios and molecular tracers were used to investigate the origin of carbonaceous aerosols. As main sources, road and non-road engine emissions in Santiago, and wood burning in Temuco were identified. Cluster analysis was used to compare the chemical characteristics of carbonaceous aerosols between the two urban environments. Distinct differences between Santiago and Temuco samples were observed. High concentrations of isoprenoid (30–69 ng m⁻³) and unresolved complex mixture (UCM) of hydrocarbons (839–1369 ng m⁻³) were found in Santiago. High concentrations of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (751±304 ng m⁻³) and their oxygenated derivatives (4±2 ng m⁻³), and of n-alk-1-enes (16±13 ng m⁻³) were observed in Temuco.     

Organic and elemental carbon associated to PM10 and PM2.5 at urban sites of northern Greece

Organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) concentrations, associated to PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 particle fractions, were concurrently determined during the warm and the cold months of the year (July–September 2011 and February–April 2012, respectively) at two urban sites in the city of Thessaloniki, northern Greece, an urban-traffic site (UT) and an urban-background site (UB). Concentrations at the UT site (11.3?±?5.0 and 8.44?±?4.08 14 μg m^?3 for OC₁₀ and OC_2.5 vs. 6.56?±?2.14 and 5.29?±?1.54 μg m^?3 for EC₁₀ and EC_2.5) were among the highest values reported for urban sites in European cities. Significantly lower concentrations were found at the UB site for both carbonaceous species, particularly for EC (6.62?±?4.59 and 5.72?±?4.36 μg m^?3 for OC₁₀ and OC_2.5 vs. 0.93?±?0.61 and 0.69?±?0.39 μg m^?3 for EC₁₀ and EC_2.5). Despite that, a negative UT-UB increment was frequently evidenced for OC_2.5 and PM_2.5 in the cold months possibly indicative of emissions from residential wood burning at the urban-background site. At both sites, cconcentrations of OC fractions were significantly higher in the cold months; on the contrary, EC fractions at the UT site were prominent in the warm season suggesting some influence from maritime emissions in the nearby harbor area. Secondary organic carbon, being estimated using the EC tracer method and seasonally minimum OC/EC ratios, was found to be an appreciable component of particle mass particularly in the cold season. The calculated secondary contributions to OC ranged between 35 and 59 % in the PM₁₀ fraction, with relatively higher values in the PM_2.5 fraction (39–61 %). The source origin of carbonaceous species was investigated by means of air parcel back trajectories, satellite fire maps, and concentration roses. A local origin was mainly concluded for OC and EC with limited possibility for long range transport of biomass (agricultural waste) burning aerosol.     

Characterization and sources assignation of PM2.5 organic aerosol in a rural area of Spain

The results from a year-long study of the organic composition of PM2.5 aerosol collected in a rural area influenced by a highway of Spain are reported. The lack of prior information related to the organic composition of PM2.5 aerosol in Spain, concretely in rural areas, led definition of the goals of this study. As a result, this work has been able to characterize the main organic components of atmospheric aerosols, including several compounds of SOA, and has conducted a multivariate analysis in order to assign sources of particulate matter. A total of 89 samples were taken between April 2004 and April 2005 using a high-volume sampler. Features and abundance of n-alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), alcohols and acids were separately determined using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and high performance liquid chromatography analysis. The Σn-alkane and ΣPAHs ranged from 3 to 81 ng m^?3 and 0.1 to 6 ng m^?3 respectively, with higher concentrations during colder months. Ambient concentrations of Σalcohols and Σacids ranged from 21 to 184 ng m^?3 and 39 to 733 ng m^?3, respectively. Also, several components of secondary organic aerosol have been quantified, confirming the biogenic contribution to ambient aerosol. In addition, factor analysis was used to reveal origin of organic compounds associated to particulate matter. Eight factors were extracted accounting more than 83% of the variability in the original data. These factors were assigned to a typical high pollution episode by anthropogenic particles, crustal material, plant waxes, fossil fuel combustion, temperature, microbiological emissions, SOA and dispersion of pollutants by wind action. Finally, a cluster analysis was used to compare the organic composition between the four seasons.     

PM2.5 carbon measurements in two urban areas: Seoul and Kwangju,Korea

24-h PM_2.5 carbonaceous samples were collected between 27 November and 9 December 1999 in Seoul, and between 7 and 20 June 2000 in Kwangju to investigate characteristics of carbonaceous species, and the relationship between elemental carbon (EC) and Aethalometer-based black carbon (BC) measurements. 5-min PM_2.5 BC and criteria air pollutant data were also measured using the Aethalometer and ambient air monitoring system. The PM_2.5 samples were analyzed for EC and OC using a selective thermal manganese dioxide oxidation (TMO) method. The daily average EC and OC concentrations in Seoul were higher in the winter than in the summer (Atmos. Environ. 35 (2001a) 657). It was found that difference between ambient BC levels in the two cities was not directly proportional to the population ratio (∼8) or diesel traffic ratio (∼5.9) since particulate matter or BC concentration is strongly influenced by a result of varying traffic and meteorological conditions at the site. Using the primary OC/EC ratio approach, the results suggest that most of the measured OC in Kwangju is of primary origin during the summer. In Seoul, the observed OC includes additional secondary organic aerosol during the wintertime conditions. The relationship between the 24-h TMO-EC and Aethalometer BC measurements in PM_2.5 reflected very good agreement for the two urban sites, with correlation coefficients of R²=0.99 and 0.92, and BC/EC slopes of 0.93 and 1.07, respectively. It was found that comparing TMO-EC to BC at a different location in Korea, a different scaling factor was needed.     

重庆城区PM2.5化学组分特征及季节变化

天津冬季PM2.5与PM10中有机碳、元素碳的污染特征

研究了天津冬季PM2.5和PM10中碳成分的污染特征.结果表明,天津冬季PM2.5和PM10的平均质量浓度分别为(124.4±60.9)、(224.6±131.2)μg/m3;总碳(TC)、有机碳(OC)与元素碳(EC)在PM2.5中的平均质量分数比在PM10中分别高出5.0%、3.6%、1.2%;PM2.5中OC、EC的相关系数较高,为0.95,表明OC、EC的来源相对简单,可能主要反应了燃煤和机动车尾气的贡献.OC/EC的平均值在PM2.5和PM10中分别为3.9、4.9.次生有机碳(SOC)在PM2.55和PM10中的平均质量浓度分别为14.9、23.4/μg/m3,分别占OC的48.5%(质量分数,下同)、49.8%,OC/EC较高可能主要与直接排放源有关;PM2.5中的OC1与OC2的比例明显高于PM10,而聚合碳(OPC)的比例又低于PM10,同时PM2.5与PM10中的EC1含量均较高,表明天津冬季燃煤取暖和机动车尾气是重要的污染源.     

Atmospheric concentrations of PM2.5 trace elements in the Seoul urban area of South Korea

Fine particles (PM2.5) were collected during all four seasons, from April 2001 to February 2002, in Seoul, South Korea, using an annular denuder system. Elemental compositions of ambient PM2.5 were analyzed using the proton-induced X-ray emission method. The greatest contributors (> or = 2%) to the PM2.5 mass were sulfur (S), silicon (Si), chlorine (Cl), aluminum (Al), and iron (Fe) in the spring; S in the summer; and S and Cl in the fall. S, Cl, and Si were the major elements in the winter. S was the most abundant species among the elements, ranging from 5.3 to 7.9%, followed by Si and Cl. From analysis of variance, PM2.5 mass, Al, Si, potassium, calcium, and Fe showed significant seasonal differences during the four seasons (p < 0.001). Enrichment factor (EF) analysis was carried out to identify the sources affecting the aerosol in the Seoul area. On the basis of the mean EF values, elemental S, copper, zinc, and lead may be emitted from anthropogenic sources (EF > 50). Elemental Al, Si, titanium, and Fe may be emitted from crustal sources (EF < 3). Additionally, a correlation analysis was carried out for source identification. The results of the correlation analysis were confirmed by the results of the EF analysis.     

Application of positive matrix factorization in characterization of PM(10) and PM(2.5) emission sources at urban roadside

The 24-h average coarse (PM₁₀) and fine (PM_2.5) fraction of airborne particulate matter (PM) samples were collected for winter, summer and monsoon seasons during November 2008-April 2009 at an busy roadside in Chennai city, India. Results showed that the 24-h average ambient PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations were significantly higher in winter and monsoon seasons than in summer season. The 24-h average PM₁₀ concentration of weekdays was significantly higher (12-30%) than weekends of winter and monsoon seasons. On weekends, the PM_2.5 concentration was found to slightly higher (4-15%) in monsoon and summer seasons. The chemical composition of PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 masses showed a high concentration in winter followed by monsoon and summer seasons.The U.S.EPA-PMF (positive matrix factorization) version 3 was applied to identify the source contribution of ambient PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations at the study area. Results indicated that marine aerosol (40.4% in PM₁₀ and 21.5% in PM_2.5) and secondary PM (22.9% in PM₁₀ and 42.1% in PM_2.5) were found to be the major source contributors at the study site followed by the motor vehicles (16% in PM₁₀ and 6% in PM_2.5), biomass burning (0.7% in PM₁₀ and 14% in PM_2.5), tire and brake wear (4.1% in PM₁₀ and 5.4% in PM_2.5), soil (3.4% in PM₁₀ and 4.3% in PM_2.5) and other sources (12.7% in PM₁₀ and 6.8% in PM_2.5).
