| 1 | Polar organic tracers in PM_(2.5) aerosols from an inland background area in Southwest China: Correlations between secondary organic aerosol tracers and source apportionment显示文摘PM_(2.5) aerosol samples were collected over 12 hr and 24 hr intervals in an inland background area, Gongga Mountain National Nature Reserve(hereafter shortened to Gongga), during the summer of 2011. Polar organic tracers, inorganic ions and meteorological data were measured. The purpose of this work was to investigate the variation patterns, formation and sources of the secondary organic aerosol tracers in the studied atmosphere. The average concentrations of isoprene oxidation products, α-pinene oxidation products, β-caryophyllinic acid, sugars, sugar alcohols and anhydrosugars were 88.6 ± 106.1, 3.6 ± 5.7,0.13 ± 0.30, 13.6 ± 13.1, 31.9 ± 31.4 and 14.8 ± 10.7 ng/m3 respectively in all aerosol samples.The aged α-pinene second organic aerosol(SOA) tracers(i.e., 3-hydroxyglutraric acid(3 HGA), 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylglutaric acid(HDMGA), 3-acetylpentandioic acid(APDA) and 3-methyl-1,2,3-butanetricarboxylic acid(MBTCA)) correlated significantly with each other in the 24 hr PM2.5 aerosol samples, indicating that OH· is the major factor controlling the formation of these α-pinene SOA tracers. Using the positive matrix factorization(PMF) model and the tracer-based source apportionment method, we calculated that isoprene oxidation products, α-pinene oxidation products, sesquiterpene oxidation products, biomass burning, fungi spores and anthropogenic SOA accounted for 21.9% ± 5.5%, 8.4% ± 2.1%, 3.0% ± 0.7%, 5.2% ± 5.3%, 5.0% ± 6.2% and 31.4% ± 7.8% of organic carbon respectively during the sampling period. | Li Li Wei Lai Jinguo Pu Hengqin Mo Dongjue Dai Guilin Wu Shihuai Deng | 2018 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2018,30,7: | 6 |
| 2 | Characterization of summer PM_(2.5) aerosols from four forest areas in Sichuan,SW China显示文摘Aerosol samples were collected over 24 and 12 h to represent day/night aerosol characteristics in forest areas at Ya'an Baima Spring Scenic Area(BM),Panzhihua Cycas National Nature Reserve(PZ),Gongga Mountain National Nature Reserve(GG),and Wolong National Nature Reserve(WL),during the summers of 2010-2012.Mass and chemical component concentrations,including organic carbon,elemental carbon,and inorganic ions(F^-,Cl^-,NO_2^-,NO_3^-,SO_4^(2-),C_2O_4^(2-),PO_4^(3-),K^+,Na^+,Ca^(2+),Mg^(2+),and NH_4^+),of PM_(2.5) aerosols were measured.The average PM2.5 concentrations for 24 h were 72.42,104.89,20.55,and29.19 μg/m^3 at BM,PZ,GG,and WL,respectively.Organic matter accounted for 38.0-49.3%,while elemental carbon accounted for 2.0-5.7%of PM2.5 mass.The sum concentrations of SO_4^(2-),NH_4^+,and NO_3^-accounted for 23.0%,17.4%,22.1%,and 30.5%of PM2.5 mass at BM,PZ,GG,and WL,respectively.Soil dust was also an important source of PM2.5,accounting for 6.3%,17.0%,10.4%,and 19.1%of PM2.5 mass at BM,PZ,GG,and WL,respectively.These reconstructed masses accounted for 75.9-102.0%of PM2.5 mass from the four forest areas of SW China. | Hengqin Mo Li Li Wei Lai Min Zhao Jinguo Pu Yi Zhou Shihuai Deng | 2015 | Particuology2015,13,3: | 4 |
