西安夏季大气亚微米颗粒物化学组成与来源的在线观测研究

西安作为汾渭平原地区最大的城市,大气颗粒物污染形势严峻.2017年夏季期间,在西安市浐灞生态园区运用气溶胶化学组分监测仪,对大气亚微米颗粒物中的非难挥发性组分(NR-PM1)进行了在线监测.观测期间NR-PM1的平均质量浓度为(30.1?±?15.4)μg???m?3.其中有机物含量最高,占NR-PM1总质量浓度的63...     

Direct analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in cloud-water aerosol filtrates using laser desorption mass spectrometry

A novel technique for the rapid screening of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in atmospheric particulates is presented. Two-step laser desorption laser photoionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to assay for PAHs in cloud-water particulates collected near Peebles in southern Scotland. The particulates were examined in situ on their host filters removing the requirement for time-consuming sample extraction and separation. The mass spectra obtained from a single filter are shown. The principal components of these are assigned to PAH contaminants and phthalate contaminants. A distribution of PAHs was observed using 193 nm laser photoionisation. The mass spectrum obtained on using 248 nm laser photoionisation exhibits a different intensity distribution demonstrating an ionisation wavelength dependence. The utility of the technique for rapid screening of PAHs and other polyaromatic species is discussed.     

Trace metal dynamics in an industrialized Brazilian river: A combined application of Zn isotopes, geochemical partitioning, and multivariate statistics

The Paraiba do Sul (PSR) and Guandu Rivers (GR) water diversion system (120 km long) is located in the main industrial pole of Brazil and supplies drinking water for 9.4 million people in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. This study aims to discern the trace metals dynamics in this complex aquatic system. We used a combined approach of geochemical tools such as geochemical partitioning, Zn isotopes signatures, and multivariate statistics. Zinc and Pb concentrations in Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) and sediments were considerably higher in some sites. The sediment partition of As, Cr, and Cu revealed the residual fraction (F4) as the main fraction for these elements, indicating low mobility. Zinc and Pb were mostly associated with the exchangeable/carbonate (F1) and the reducible (F2) fractions, respectively, implying a higher susceptibility of these elements to being released from sediments. Zinc isotopic compositions of sediments and SPM fell in a binary mixing source process between lithogenic (δ^66/64Zn_JMC ≈ + 0.30‰) and anthropogenic (δ^66/64Zn_JMC ≈ + 0.15‰) end members. The lighter δ^66/64Zn_JMC values accompanied by high Zn concentrations in exchangeable/carbonate fraction (ZnF1) enable the tracking of Zn anthropogenic sources in the studied rivers. Overall, the results indicated that Hg, Pb, and Zn had a dominant anthropogenic origin linked to the industrial activities, while As, Cr, and Cu were mainly associated with lithogenic sources. This work demonstrates how integrating geochemical tools is valuable for assessing geochemical processes and mixing source effects in anthropized river watersheds.
