Influence of Meteorological Parameters on Particulates and Atmospheric Pollutants at Taichung Harbor Sampling Site

Atmospheric aerosol particles and metallic concentrations, ionic species were monitored at the Experimental harbor of Taichung sampling site in this study. This work attempted to characterize metallic elements and ionic species associated with meteorological conditions variation on atmospheric particulate matter in TSP, PM_2.5, PM_2.5–10. The concentration distribution trend between TSP, PM_2.5, PM_2.5–10 particle concentration at the TH (Taichung harbor) sampling site were also displayed in this study. Besides, the meteorological conditions variation of metallic elements (Fe, Mg, Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn and Pb) and ions species (Cl⁻, NO₃ ⁻, SO₄ ²⁻, NH₄ ⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Na⁺) concentrations attached with those particulate were also analyzed in this study. On non-parametric (Spearman) correlation analysis, the results indicated that the meteorological conditions have high correlation at largest particulate concentrations for TSP at TH sampling site in this study. In addition, the temperature and relative humidity of meteorological conditions that played a key role to affect particulate matter (PM) and have higher correlations then other meteorological conditions such as wind speed and atmospheric pressure. The parameter temperature and relative humidity also have high correlations with atmospheric pollutants compared with those of the other meteorological variables (wind speed, atmospheric pressure and prevalent wind direction). In addition, relative statistical equations between pollutants and meteorological variables were also characterized in this study.

北京市典型重污染过程中PM2.5载带水溶性无机离子污染特征分析

为研究北京地区冬季PM_(2.5)载带的水溶性无机离子组分污染特征,2013年1月在中国环境科学研究院内采用在线离子色谱(URG-9000B,AIM-IC)对PM_(2.5)中水溶性无机离子(SO_4~(2-)、NO_3~-、Cl~-、NH_4~+、Na~+、K~+、Mg~(2+)、Ca~(2+))进行监测与分析。结果表明,采样期间总水溶性无机离子(TWSI)浓度为61.0μg/m~3,其中二次无机离子SO_4~(2-)、NO_3~-、NH_4~+(SNA)占比达72.3%,在PM_(2.5)中占比为40.29%,表明北京市PM_(2.5)二次污染严重。重污染天[NO_3~-]/[SO_4~(2-)]表明,固定源污染较移动源更为显著。三元相图表明,在空气质量为优的情况下,NH_4~+(在SNA中占比为30.3%~65.5%,下同)主要以NH_4NO_3的形式存在,较少比例以(NH_4)_2SO_4存在;严重污染时,NH_4~+(47.3%~77.9%)主要以(NH_4)_2SO_4形式存在,其次以NH_4NO_3的形式存在,其余的NH_4~+以NH_4Cl的形式存在。[NO_3~-]/[SO_4~(2-)]日变化表明,早、晚机动车高峰影响北京重污染发生。     

Chemical composition of the NH3-HNO3-H2SO4-NaCl system in the atmosphere of Athens,Greece

This paper presents a procedure for estimating the distribution of ionic material in the NH₃-HNO₃-H₂SO₄-NaCl system and applies this procedure in a particular case. The data used were measurements of HNO₃, NH₃, NO ₃ ^– , SO ₄ ^– , NH ₄ ⁺ Cl^– and Na⁺ performed during February 1989 – February 1990 in a central Athens street with high traffic density. According to the procedure, ions combine in the following manner: Na⁺ combines preferentially with SO ₄ ^– , then with NO ₃ ^– , followed by NH ₄ ⁺ with the remaining SO ₄ ^– and then with the remaining NO ₃ ^– to form bisulphates, sulphates and nitrates. The combination procedure showed that the main constituents of the NH₃-HNO₃-H₂SO₄-NaCl system are primarily (NH₄)₂SO₄ and, to a lesser extent, NH₄NO₃ and NH₄HSO₄, with mean and maximum concentrations, during morning hours, (NH₄)₂SO₄: 14.5 (max 46.8), NH₄NO₃: 2.97 (max 23) and NH₄HSO₄: 1.78 (max 40.6) µg m^–3. Lower concentations of Na₂SO₄, NaHSO₄, NaNO₃ and NH₄Cl and very low concentrations of H₂SO₄ are also present, depending on the availability of NaCl. It became apparent from the ionic distribution that there is sufficient NH₃ to neutralize the H₂SO₄ and HNO₃. It was also shown that a significant fraction of the HNO₃, especially on days with high pollution, occurs as aqueous NO ₃ ^– . A number of empirical equations have been proposed, which enable the approximate estimation of the constituents of the NH₃-HNO₃-H₂SO₄-NaCl system from air pollution monitoring data and meteorological parameters.     

北京夏季大气主要含氮无机化合物的变化规律与相互作用

利用SJAC-MOBIC/FIA在2006年8月16日—9月9日在线测量了北京城市大气细颗粒物中主要水溶性含氮离子组分(NO₃^-和 NH₄⁺),与重要含氮气态污染物(HNO₃、HNO₂和 NH₃),以追踪细颗粒物中含氮二次无机组分和含氮气态污染物的变化规律及其相互作用。观测期间,NO₃^- 和 NH₄⁺的平均浓度分别为13.08和11.93 μg/m³,它们与SO₄^2-浓度之和在细颗粒物(PM_2.5)中的平均比例为55%,明显高于其他季节;污染过程中,积聚模态颗粒物体积浓度及其与爱根核模态颗粒物体积浓度比值逐渐增加,说明二次转化是北京夏季细颗粒物的重要来源。白天HONO迅速光解产生OH自由基,而OH自由基是生成HNO₃的重要物种,因此HONO和HNO₃具有相反的日变化规律。在温度较高的白天,大气环境不利于NH₄NO₃的生成与存在;夜间低温高湿的条件下硝酸铵理论平衡系数Ke与气态氨和硝酸的乘积Km相当或低于后者,较有利于NH₄NO₃的生成。北京夏季大气具有足量气态NH₃以中和硫酸盐;但在NO₃^-与阳离子的电荷平衡中,金属阳离子也非常重要。     

徐州市不同类型颗粒物重污染过程特征及组分差异性分析

经过多年的大气污染防治,我国空气质量有了大幅改善,但重污染过程仍有发生。对2018—2021年徐州市3种不同类型颗粒物重污染过程的污染特征、演变趋势、PM_2.5组分特征和相关性及污染成因分析结果表明:在不同类型的重污染过程中,二次无机离子NO₃^-、SO₄^2-、NH₄⁺在PM_2.5中的占比均是最高。在累积型重污染期间,NO₃^-、SO₄^2-、NH₄⁺分别增长144%、142%、183%,二次无机离子对PM_2.5的增长贡献较大。结合相关性分析及SOR、NOR值发现,硝酸盐和硫酸盐的二次生成作用显著。在沙尘型重污染期间,结合雷达监测结果及后向轨迹图可以看出,沙尘沉降至高空与近地面污染物叠加造成颗粒物高值。化学组分中Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺浓度对PM_2.5浓度的影响最大,二次生成和转化对其影响较小。在烟花燃放型重污染期间,和烟花爆竹有关的K⁺、Mg²⁺、Cl^-离子较污染前分别上升1 112%、2 058%、和239%,对污染过程影响显著。     

Atmospheric concentrations of nitric acid, sulfur dioxide, particulate nitrate and particulate sulfate, and estimation of their dry deposition on the urban- and mountain-facing sides of Mt. Gokurakuji, Western Japan

Atmospheric concentrations of nitric acid (HNO₃), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), particulate nitrate and particulate sulfate on the urban- and mountain-facing sides of Mt. Gokurakuji were measured from November 2002 to October 2003, in order to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic activity on air quality and dry deposited nitrate and sulfate on the surfaces of pine foliage. The results showed that HNO₃, SO₂ and concentrations were significantly higher (P < 0.05) on the urban-facing side (1.54, 2.48 and 0.65 μg m⁻³, respectively) than the mountain-facing side (0.67, 1.19 and 0.37 μg m⁻³, respectively), while concentrations did not differ significantly between the two sides (urban-facing: 2.80 μg m⁻³; mountain−facing: 2.05 μg m⁻³). Indirect estimates of dry deposition rates of nitrate and sulfate to the surfaces of pine foliage based on the measured concentrations approximately agreed with the measured values determined by the foliar rinsing technique in a previous study. It was found that HNO₃ was the major source (approximately 80%) of dry deposited nitrate on pine foliage, while the contribution from was about equal to that from SO₂. In conclusion, HNO₃ and SO₂ appear to be dominant species reflecting higher dry deposition rates of nitrate and sulfate on the urban-facing side compared to the mountain-facing side of Mt. Gokurakuji.     

Chemical Characteristics of Rain Water at an Urban Site of South Western Turkey

In this study, chemical composition of the rain water in Mugla was investigated from February to April 2002. Rain water samples were obtained from Mugla, a small city in south western Turkey. The Yatagan Power Plant is located 30 km northwest of Mugla city. The values of pH and the concentrations of major ions (Ca²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, SO₄ ²⁻, NO₃ ⁻, NH₄ ⁺) in the rainwater samples were analyzed. The pH varied from 4.5 to 7.7 with an average of 6.9 which was in alkaline range considering 5.6 as the neutral pH of cloud water with atmospheric CO₂ equilibrium. In the total 30 rain events, only two events were observed in acidic range (< 5.6) which occurred after continuous rains. The equivalent concentration of components followed the order: Ca²⁺ > SO₄ ²⁻ > NH₄ ⁺ > NO₃ ⁻ > Na⁺ > K⁺ > H⁺. The volume-weighted mean (VWM) of the measured ionic sum is 371.62 μeq/l. The ratio of between sum cations and sum anions (∑cations /∑ anions) is 1.52 μeq/l. The alkaline components (Ca²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) contribute 52%, NH₄ ⁺ 8%, whereas, the contribution from the acidic components is relatively small (40%). The low concentrations of H⁺ found in rainwater samples from Mugla suggest that an important portion of H₂SO₄ and HNO₃ have been neutralized by alkaline particles in the atmosphere. The dust-rich local and surrounding limestone environment might have caused the high concentration of Ca²⁺ in Mugla area. The relatively high concentration of NH₄ ⁺ observed at Mugla is suspected to be due to surrounding agricultural. The results obtained in this study are compared with those other studies conducted at various places in the world.     

重庆市主城区大气水溶性离子在线观测分析

2015年12月—2016年3月期间,利用在线气体与气溶胶成分监测仪(IGAC)在重庆市大气超级站开展连续观测分析,并捕捉到2次持续时间较长的空气重污染过程。对PM_(2.5)中9种水溶性离子及5种气态前体物的观测结果分析表明:NO_3~-、NH_4~+和SO_4~(2-)是重庆市主城区PM_(2.5)中主要的水溶性离子成分,其浓度均表现出明显的日变化特征,主要以(NH4)_2SO_4和NH_4NO_3的形式存在。NH_3和SO_2是最主要的气态污染物。2次重污染过程的水溶性离子组分有明显差异,细颗粒物累积型污染的NH_4~+、SO_4~(2-)、NO_3~-浓度高,二次转化十分明显;春节期间烟花爆竹集中燃放,Cl~-、K~+浓度高,主要属于一次排放;污染期间主要离子组分的同源性特征显著。     

Impact of Diwali celebrations on urban air and noise quality in Delhi City,India

A study was conducted in the residential areas of Delhi, India, to assess the variation in ambient air quality and ambient noise levels during pre-Diwali month (DM), Diwali day (DD) and post-Diwali month during the period 2006 to 2008. The use of fireworks during DD showed 1.3 to 4.0 times increase in concentration of respirable particulate matter (PM₁₀) and 1.6 to 2.5 times increase in concentration of total suspended particulate matter (TSP) than the concentration during DM. There was a significant increase in sulfur dioxide (SO₂) concentration but the concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) did not show any considerable variation. Ambient noise level were 1.2 to 1.3 times higher than normal day. The study also showed a strong correlation between PM₁₀ and TSP (R ² ≥ 0.9) and SO₂ and NO₂ (R ² ≥ 0.9) on DD. The correlation between noise level and gaseous pollutant were moderate (R ² ≥ 0.5). The average concentration of the pollutants during DD was found higher in 2007 which could be due to adverse meteorological conditions. The statistical interpretation of data indicated that the celebration of Diwali festival affects the ambient air and noise quality. The study would provide public awareness about the health risks associated with the celebrations of Diwali festival so as to take proper precautions.     

灰霾期间武汉城市区域大气污染物的理化特征

利用湖北省大气复合污染自动监测站2013年的全年监测数据,分析了灰霾期间武汉城市区域大气污染物的理化特征。霾日主要出现在春季、秋季和冬季。霾日与非霾日大气污染物质量浓度和气象参数的对比分析结果显示:高湿度、静风是武汉城市区域霾日的重要气象特征;PM1、PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)、NO_2、CO、NH3的质量浓度,SOR、NOR值以及PM_(2.5)中的二次无机离子(SO2-4、NO-3、NH+4)和部分元素(Pb、Se、Cd、Zn、K)的质量浓度均在霾日明显高于非霾日,而霾日SO2质量浓度仅在冬季略高于非霾日。选取2013年1月的连续灰霾日进行相关性分析,结果表明:污染组分主要来自当地排放(包括直接排放和二次形成),并受当地气象条件影响。此次灰霾过程中PM_(2.5)中的硫酸盐和硝酸盐主要来自气相反应,气态NO_2主要生成了气态HNO_3,而不是HNO_2。     

Urban and suburban aerosol in Yokohama, Japan: a comprehensive chemical characterization

This article analyses elemental composition of suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples collected monthly from 1999 to 2005 at two locations in Yokohama, Japan. Microwave digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy was employed to measure Mg, Al, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Ag, Cd, Cs, Ba, Pb, and Bi. Water-soluble ions (Na^?+?, NH₄ ^?+?, K^?+?, Ca^2?+?, Cl^???, NO₃ ^???, and SO₄ ^2???) and carbonaceous mass (elemental and organic carbon) were detected using ion chromatograph and CHN analyzer, respectively. The results indicate that the composition of SPM on one of the sites is determined by automobile emissions and on the other by industrial combustions. The impact of the emission regulations for automobiles in large Japanese cities, which were enacted during 2002 and 2003, on the SPM composition of the samples is also studied.     

1997—2010年北京市大气降水离子特征变化趋势研究

依据北京市环境保护监测中心1997—2010年降水监测资料,分析北京地区降水中离子特征及变化趋势,阐明北京市降水污染现状及变化特征。结合北京市特有的气象条件、地形地貌和工业分布情况,分析污染物来源及污染变化趋势。研究表明:年度降水电导率呈现波动变化,降水污染严重程度依次为南部郊区>市区>北部背景点。北京地区大气降水中的主要阳离子成分是Ca²⁺和NH₄⁺,主要阴离子成分是SO₄^2-和NO₃^-。近年来[SO₄^2-]/[NO₃^-]比值逐步下降,污染类型由典型硫酸型发展为硫酸+硝酸混合型。阳离子[Ca²⁺]/[NH₄⁺]比值下降,碱性离子缓冲能力降低。9种离子各季节浓度变化趋势基本一致,由高到低依次是春季>秋季>冬季>夏季,这种季节变化特征与气象因素密切相关。相关性及聚类分析表明:NO₃^-与SO₄^2-存在很强相关性,说明其前体物SO₂和NO_X在大气中经常一同排放且进入降水途径相同;H⁺浓度不是由某个离子决定,是所有致酸离子和中和离子相互作用的结果,而NH₄⁺来源不同于其它离子,北京地区的氨存在其单独排放源。     

Seasonal air quality profile of inorganic ionic composition of PM10 near Taj Mahal in Agra, India

Atmospheric aerosols and their impacts on the environment particularly on human health is an issue of significant public and governmental concern. Though studies on air quality related to total suspended particulate matter have done by various authors in India, yet respirable suspended particulate matter (PM₁₀) is not characterized so far particularly in a historical and world heritage city like Agra. This study presents seasonal variation in mass levels of PM₁₀ and its ionic composition. PM₁₀ samples were collected in the proximity of Taj Mahal and subjected to chemical analysis using ion chromatography technique. The preliminary findings reveal that the 24-h average of PM₁₀ mass level varies from 115 to 233, 155 to 321, and 33 to 178 μg/m³, respectively, in summer, winter, and rainy seasons indicating critical pollution situation. These values are very much higher than the National Ambient Air Quality Standards of 75 μg/m³ (prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board, India) in both of summer and winter seasons whereas quite near the permissible limits in rainy season. The equivalent ratios of NH₄ ⁺ to nonsea salt SO₄ ^2? and NO₃ ^? and ∑Cations to ∑Anios were found to be greater than unity indicating high source strength of ammonia and alkaline nature of aerosols. The study suggests the need for continuous and long-term systematical sampling and detailed physiochemical analysis of PM₁₀ and also to know the characteristics of PM in background areas for better understanding of the emission sources.     

北京城区降水对PM2.5和PM10清除作用分析

基于北京市PM_2.5和PM₁₀质量浓度、组分浓度以及降水数据,利用数理统计、相关性分析等方法分别从降水总量、降水时长和降水前颗粒物浓度3个角度研究降水对PM_2.5、PM₁₀的清除作用,同时以一次典型降水过程为例,具体分析降水对颗粒物的影响。结果表明：降水总量的增加有助于促进PM_2.5、PM₁₀的清除,随着降水总量增加,PM_2.5、PM₁₀的平均清除率提高,有效清除的比例增加;连续降水可增强对大气颗粒物的湿清除作用,连续降水达3d可有效降低PM_2.5、PM₁₀浓度;降水对PM_2.5、PM₁₀浓度的清除率和大气颗粒物前一日的平均浓度有较好的正相关性。降水对大气颗粒物的清除可分为清除、回升和平稳3个阶段,各个阶段大气颗粒物的变化趋势不同。降水对于大气气溶胶化学组分和酸碱性的改变具有明显作用,对于大气颗粒物各种组分的清除效果不完全相同。对于大气中OC、NO₃^-、SO₄^2-和NH₄⁺去除率较高,且这4种组分主要以颗粒态形式被冲刷进入降水中,加剧了北京市降水酸化程度。     

Dry deposition velocity of atmospheric nitrogen in a typical red soil agro-ecosystem in Southeastern China

Atmospheric dry deposition is an important nitrogen (N) input to farmland ecosystems. The main nitrogen compounds in the atmosphere include gaseous N (NH₃, NO₂, HNO₃) and aerosol N (NH₄ ⁺/NO₃ ^?). With the knowledge of increasing agricultural effects by dry deposition of nitrogen, researchers have paid great attention to this topic. Based on the big-leaf resistance dry deposition model, dry N deposition velocities (V _d) in a typical red soil agro-ecosystem, Yingtan, Jiangxi, Southeastern China, were estimated with the data from an Auto-Meteorological Experiment Station during 2004–2007. The results show that hourly deposition velocities (V _dh) were in the range of 0.17–0.34, 0.05–0.24, 0.57–1.27, and 0.05–0.41 cm/s for NH₃, NO₂, HNO₃, and aerosol N, respectively, and the V _dh were much higher in daytime than in nighttime and had a peak value around noon. Monthly dry deposition velocities (V _dm) were in the range of 0.14–0.36, 0.06–0.18, and 0.07–0.25 cm/s for NH₃, NO₂, and aerosol N, respectively. Their minimum values appeared from June to August, while their maximum values occurred from February to March each year. The maximum value for HNO₃ deposition velocities appeared in July each year, and V _dm(HNO₃) ranged from 0.58 to 1.31 cm/s during the 4 years. As for seasonal deposition velocities (V _ds), V _ds(NH₃), V _ds(NO₂), and V _ds(aerosol N) in winter or spring were significantly higher than those in summer or autumn, while V _ds(HNO₃) in summer were higher than that in winter. In addition, there is no significant difference among all the annual means for deposition velocities (V _da). The average values for NH₃, NO₂, HNO₃, and aerosol N deposition velocities in the 4 years were 0.26, 0.12, 0.81, and 0.16 cm/s, respectively. The model is convenient and feasible to estimate dry deposition velocity of atmospheric nitrogen in the typical red soil agro-ecosystem.     

Study on concentration of ambient NH 3 and interactions with some other ambient trace gases

We present diurnal variation of ambient ammonia (NH₃) in relation with other trace gases (O₃, CO, NO, NO₂, and SO₂) and meteorological parameters at an urban site of Delhi during winter period. For the first time, ambient ammonia (NH₃) was monitored very precisely and continuously using ammonia analyzer, which operates on chemiluminescence method. NH₃ estimation efficiency of the chemiluminescence method (>90%) is much higher than the conventional chemical trapping method (reproducibility 4.5%). Ambient NH₃ concentration reaches its maxima (46.17 ppb) at night and minimum during midday. Result reveals that the ambient ammonia (NH₃) concentration is positively correlated with ambient NO (r ²?=?0.79) and NO₂ (r ²?=?0.91) mixing ratio and negatively correlated with ambient temperature (r ²?=???0.32). Wind direction and wind speed indicates that the nearby (~500 m NW) agricultural fields may be major source of ambient NH₃ at the observational site.     

Emissions of SO2, NO x and particulates from a pipe manufacturing plant and prediction of impact on air quality

Integrated pipe manufacturing industry is operation intensive and has significant air pollution potential especially when it is equipped with a captive power production facility. Emissions of SO₂, NO _x , and particulate matter (PM) were estimated from the stationary sources in a state-of-the-art pipe manufacturing plant in India. Major air polluting units like blast furnace, ductile iron spun pipe facility, and captive power production facility were selected for stack gas monitoring. Subsequently, ambient air quality modeling was undertaken to predict ground-level concentrations of the selected air pollutants using Industrial Source Complex (ISC 3) model. Emissions of SO₂, NO _x , and particulate matter from the stationary sources in selected facilities ranged from 0.02 to 16.5, 0.03 to 93.3, and 0.09 to 48.3 kg h^???1, respectively. Concentration of SO₂ and NO _x in stack gas of 1,180-kVA (1 KW = 1.25 kVA) diesel generator exceeded the upper safe limits prescribed by the State Pollution Control Board, while concentrations of the same from all other units were within the prescribed limits. Particulate emission was highest from the barrel grinding operation, where grinding of the manufactured pipes is undertaken for giving the final shape. Particulate emission was also high from dedusting operation where coal dust is handled. Air quality modeling indicated that maximum possible ground-level concentration of PM, SO₂, and NO _x were to the tune of 13, 3, and 18 μg/m³, respectively, which are within the prescribed limits for ambient air given by the Central Pollution Control Board.     

Modifications of the transition flow reactor theory for the more accurate measurement of nitric acid and nitrate and ammonium ions

Sixty five samples were taken with a Transition Flow Reactor (TFR) for the measurement of nitric acid (HNO₃) and nitrate particulates (NO ₃ ⁻ ), in a central Athens street having a heavy traffic density, between February 1989 and February 1990. It was established that the TFR theory overestimated HNO₃ and underestimated NO ₃ ⁻ . This is caused by the retention of a fraction of the NO₂ and a fraction of the HNO₂ as NO ₂ ⁻ on the sampler's nylon linear. NO ₂ ⁻ is in turn oxidized to NO ₃ ⁻ and this is determined as HNO₃. Two modifications of the TFR theory are proposed for a better estimation of the HNO₃ and NO ₃ ⁻ . With the first modification HNO₃ is estimated as being equal to the smaller of two values: HNO_{3 TFR} and the value calculated if it is considered that 91% of HNO₃ is retained by the nylon filter. The second modification was based on the quantification of the effect of NO₂ on the concentrations of HNO₃ and NO ₃ ⁻ . This modification is an improvement on the first one and enables the calculation of a lower limit for the concentration of HNO₂. Both modifications improve the accuracy of the TFR sampler in measuring HNO₃ and NO ₃ ⁻ , without altering it structurally. It was also found that the nylon filter partially retains some NH₃, causing a negative error in the measurement of NH ₄ ⁺ with the TFR. The extent of NH₃ retention on the nylon filter is proportional to the HNO₃ concentration. This error must be taken into account whenever NH ₄ ⁺ is being determined.     

2010—2019年台州市市区降水化学组成特征及变化趋势

为了解台州市市区大气降水化学成分组成特征及变化规律,对2010—2019年台州市市区降水监测数据进行了统计分析。结果表明:2010—2019年降水样品pH为4.20～4.84夏高冬低,强酸性降水频率下降显著,电导率平均值为3.16 mS/cm。SO₄^2-和NO₃^-是降水中最主要的阴离子,NH₄⁺和Ca²⁺是降水中最主要的阳离子。Ca²⁺浓度在2018年开始有所抬升,SO₄^2-和NO₃^-浓度整体呈波动下降趋势。SO₄^2-与NO₃^-浓度比均值为1.50,呈下降趋势,同大气中SO₂与NO₂的质量浓度比变化趋势基本一致。SO₄^2-和NO₃<...
