Speciated samples of PM2.5 were collected at the Big Bend site from July of 2003 to June 2006 and the McDonald Observatory site from July of 2003 to
August of 2005 in southwestern Texas, respectively, by the US Environmental Protection Agency. A total of 175 samples for
the Big Bend site and 105 samples for the McDonald Observatory site with 52 species were measured; however, 30 and 32 species
from the Big Bend and McDonald Observatory sites, respectively, were excluded because of too much below-detection-limit data.
Due to the laboratory change about November 1 of 2004 and possible analytical artifacts, phosphorous was excluded as well.
Among the species excluded, 31 species are common to both sites. The two data sets were analyzed by positive matrix factorization
to infer the sources of PM observed at the two sites. The analysis resolved five source-related factors for Big Bend and four
for McDonald Observatory. Sulfate-rich secondary aerosol, coal burning, motor vehicle/road dust, and a mixed factor were identified
as common sources to both sites. The other factor identified for Big Bend is related to soil. Sulfate mainly exists as ammonium
salts. The sulfate-rich secondary aerosols account for about 62% and 66% of the PM2.5 mass concentration at the two sites, respectively. The highest concentration of Si associated with Ca, Fe,
\textSO42 - {\text{SO}}_4^{2 - } , and organic carbon at the two sites was possibly attributed to the coal-fired power plants in the region. Basically, the
factor of sulfate and coal burning at the two sites showed similar chemical composition profiles and seasonal variation that
reflect the regional characteristics of these sources. The regional factors of sulfate, coal burning, and soil showed predominantly
low-frequency variations; however, the area-related and/or local factors showed both high and low frequency variations. The
motor vehicle/road dust and the mixed factors were likely to be area-related and/or local source. 相似文献

To access the influence of a vegetation on soil microorganisms toward organic pollutant biogegration, this study examined the rhizospheric effects of four plant species (sudan grass, white clover, alfalfa, and fescue) on the soil microbial community and in-situ pyrene (PYR) biodegradation. The results indicated that the spiked PYR levels in soils decreased substantially compared to the control soil without planting. With equal planted densities, the efficiencies of PYR degradation in rhizosphere with sudan grass, white clover, alfalfa and fescue were 34.0%, 28.4%, 27.7%, and 9.9%, respectively. However, on the basis of equal root biomass the efficiencies were in order of white clover >> alfalfa > sudan > fescue. The increased PYR biodegradation was attributed to the enhanced bacterial population and activity induced by plant roots in the rhizosphere. Soil microbial species and biomasses were elucidated in terms of microbial phospholipid ester-linked fatty acid (PLFA) biomarkers. The principal component analysis (PCA) revealed significant changes in PLFA pattern in planted and non-planted soils spiked with PYR. Total PLFAs in planted soils were all higher than those in non-planted soils. PLFA assemblages indicated that bacteria were the primary PYR degrading microorganisms, and that Gram-positive bacteria exhibited higher tolerance to PYR than Gram-negative bacteria did. 相似文献
