泉州市大气PM2.5中水溶性离子季节变化特征及来源解析

为掌握泉州市大气PM_(2.5)中无机水溶性离子的季节变化特征,于2014年3月~2015年1月同步采集了泉州市5个采样点共116个PM_(2.5)样品.用离子色谱法分析了PM_(2.5)中Na~+、NH_4~+、K~+、Ca~(2+)、Mg~(2+)、F~-、Cl~-、NO_3~-和SO_4~(2-)等9种水溶性无机离子.观测期间,总水溶性离子浓度季节变化特征为春季(14.24±6.43)μg·m~(-3)冬季(8.54±7.61)μg·m~(-3)夏季(4.10±2.67)μg·m~(-3)秋季(3.91±2.58)μg·m~(-3);SO_4~(2-)、NO_3~-和NH_4~+(SNA)是PM_(2.5)中主要的3种离子,占水溶性离子总质量浓度比例分别为春季(90.3±3.3)%、夏季(68.8±11.7)%、秋季(78.9±7.1)%和冬季(74.0±18.4)%,说明春季二次污染较为严重;PM_(2.5)中阴、阳离子电荷平衡分析显示,阴离子相对亏损,大气细颗粒物组分呈弱碱性;春、冬季NH_4~+主要以(NH_4)_2SO_4、NH_4HSO_4和NH_4NO_3等形式存在,而夏、秋季则主要以NH_4HSO_4和NH_4NO_3形式存在;PMF源解析结果表明,泉州市大气PM_(2.5)中水溶性离子主要来自海盐、二次源、建筑扬尘、垃圾焚烧源和生物质燃烧源.

Seasonal Variation and Source Apportionment of Water-Soluble Ions in PM2.5 in Quanzhou City

In this study, the seasonal characteristics of water-soluble ions (WSIs) present in fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) in Quanzhou City were investigated. PM_2.5 samples were collected at five different sites in the city from March 2014 to January 2015 and the concentrations of Na⁺, NH₄⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, F^-, Cl^-, NO₃^-, and SO₄^2- were determined by ion-exchange chromatography. In order to identify the sources of these WSIs, the positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis was applied. The seasonal variations in total WSI concentrations were found to decrease in the order of spring > winter > summer > autumn. The ions SO₄^2-, NO₃^-, and NH₄⁺ were the major WSIs found in PM_2.5, accounting for 90.3%±3.3%, 68.8%±11.7%, 78.9%±7.1%, and 74.0%±18.4% of the total amount of ions found in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, respectively. These results suggested that the level of secondary ions was relatively high in the spring season. The anion-to-cation ratio in each of the four seasons was less than one, which indicated that PM_2.5 in Quanzhou City was slightly alkaline. Furthermore, NH₄⁺ ions in PM_2.5 mostly existed in the form of (NH₄)₂SO₄, NH₄HSO₄, and NH₄NO₃ during spring and winter, while they were primarily found as NH₄HSO₄ and NH₄NO₃ in the summer and autumn seasons. PMF analysis revealed that marine salt, secondary sources, fugitive dust from construction, municipal incineration, and biomass burning were the main potential sources of the ionic components of PM_2.5.
