Samples were typically collected daily on filters and a few hours sampling were conducted during a few haze events (March 2007 to June 2008). Mean mass concentrations of PM<sub>1.0</sub>, PM<sub>2.5</sub>, and PM<sub>10</sub> were 19.7 μg/m<sup>3</sup>, 26.0 μg/m<sup>3</sup>, and 48.2 μg/m<sup>3</sup>, respectively, and PM<sub>2.5</sub> was reasonably correlated with PM<sub>1.0</sub> (γ=0.79) and PM<sub>10</sub> (γ=0.52). Three mass group types were mainly distinguished. Group 1 (31%): linear increase of PM<sub>1.0</sub> with PM<sub>10</sub> and high OC and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>; Group 2 (17%): PM<sub>10</sub> considerably higher than PM<sub>1.0</sub> and high Ca<sup>2+</sup> and SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup>; Group 3 (52%): PM<sub>1.0</sub> relatively more enhanced than PM<sub>10</sub> and highest carbonaceous fraction against mass. The fine mode fraction was lowest (highest) in Group 2 (Group 3). Haze and dust episodes relating to Chinese outflows were mostly evident in Groups 1 and 2, respectively; average PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations were visibly higher than in Group 3. Non-Negative Matrix Factorization analysis demonstrated that traffic-related urban primary (28%) and coal-fired industry (27%) emissions equally contributed to the PM<sub>2.5</sub> mass, followed by aged urban secondary (19%), soil mineral (16%), and biomass combustion (10%) sources. Seasonal variations were apparent in air mass trajectories. Urban primary and coal-fired industry factors were predominant in Group 3 under stagnant conditions in the warm season and under a strong northerly wind in the cold season, respectively. However, contributions of the other three factors were higher in Groups 1 and 2. This study shows that the PM<sub>2.5</sub> mass in Seoul is largely dependent on high concentration episodes occurring mostly in cold seasons. It also shows that local emissions contribute considerably during warm months, while the influence of Chinese outflow predominates during cold months.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45358,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Atmospheric Environment","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.5572/ajae.2021.124.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70709787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The city is located on the northern slope of Trans-Ili Alatau, where the rate of recurrence of calm and low-wind (1–2 m/sec) days reaches about 80%. All simulations were made for a period from 28.11.2016 to 05.12.2016, covering main synoptic situations of the stagnant atmosphere: the extent of Asian anticyclone, higher and lower pressure gradient fields. The model integrated three nested domains with grid sizes 9, 3 and 1 km, respectively. The initial boundary conditions were formed based on ERA5-reanalysis. Subject to the WRF model requirements, the land-use map with a standard USGS set (24 categories) was developed, to which 3 categories of the urban areas were added. The most relevant configuration of parameterization methods was selected: short-wave and long-wave radiation (Mlawer), surface layer (Monin-Obukhov similarity theory), urban area (BEP), boundary layer (Bougeault-Lacarrere), turbulence (Smagorinsky). The article demonstrates that the WRF model adequately reflects fundamental urban atmosphere patterns in the most unfavorable anticyclone periods of the autumn-winter season. It was established that the accuracy of estimates decreases with the transition to weak cyclonic activity. Based on the simulation results and remote sensing data, the territory in question is divided into four climatic zones to which a comparative method was applied; however for a detailed correlative analysis a denser network of meteorological stations is required. Calculations showed that the wind along the Ili river valley prevails in the northern part, regularly changing its western direction to eastern. Near the mountain area mountain-valley wind circulation prevails. The blocking inversion layer has a strong impact. The urban heat islands strongly depend on wind conditions. For example, a nocturnal heat island is cooled by the cold wind flow from the mountains.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45358,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Atmospheric Environment","volume":"16 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.5572/ajae.2022.007.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70710145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, such monitoring sites represent pollution of a limited area, and installing multiple devices for a vast area is costly. This limitation of unavailability of data at non-monitoring sites has necessitated the Spatio-temporal analysis of air pollution and its prediction. Few commonly used methods for Spatio-temporal prediction of pollutants include - ‘Averaging’; ‘Best correlation coefficient method’; ‘Inverse distance weighting method’ and ‘Grid interpolation method.’ Apart from these conventional methods, a new methodology, ‘Weighted average method,’ is proposed and compared for air pollution prediction at non-monitoring sites. The weights in this method are calculated based on both on the distance and directional basis. To compare the proposed method with the existing ones, the air pollution levels of NO<sub>2</sub> (Nitrogen dioxide), O<sub>3</sub> (Ozone), PM<sub>10</sub> (Particulate matter of 10 microns or smaller), PM<sub>2.5</sub> (Particulate matter of 2.5 microns or smaller), and SO<sub>2</sub> (Sulphur dioxide) were predicted at the non-monitoring site (test stations) by utilizing the available data at monitoring sites in Delhi, India. Preliminary correlation analysis showed that NO<sub>2</sub>, PM<sub>2.5</sub>, and SO<sub>2</sub> have a directional dependency between different stations.

In this study, coarse and fine powder samples of atmospheric PM were collected using a cyclone system at Kanagawa (KO), Saitama (SA), and Fukuoka (FU) in Japan in 2017. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDXRF) was used to measure the concentrations of nine metallic elements (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb), and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy was used to analyze the valence states of target elements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn). The EDXRF results indicated that the average contents of Fe, Ti, and Zn were much higher than those of the other six elements in all samples. The XAFS results showed that the major valence states of the elements were Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Cu(II), and Zn(II). The percentages of Mn(IV), Fe(II), and Cu(0) were higher in KO and SA samples than in FU samples. Mn(0) and Zn(0) were detected in some samples only, and Cu(I) was not detected in any samples. Correlation analysis, principal component analysis, and cluster analysis were performed on the EDXRF and XAFS data of the target elements. The source identification results showed that the sources of metal contaminants in the samples varied considerably between sampling sites and depended on the industrial structure and geographical location of the sampling area.
