Examining light absorbing characteristics of fine particulate matter during winter 2019–20 in residential areas of metropolitan cities in India
Fine particle mass concentrations and its carbonaceous characteristics are not adequately examined in urban residential outdoor locations in low and middle-income countries such as India. This study was conducted across three Indian metropolitan cities - Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi, during the winter period of 2019–2020. We measured PM2.5, outside residences in each city and characterized the optical and chemical properties of the aerosols. PM2.5 mass concentrations were 131.3 ± 71.8 for Mumbai, 75.2 ± 33.4 for Bangalore, and 192.2 ± 75.5 μg/m3 for Delhi, showing significant differences between cities and not within cities (p < 0.05). This trend was similar for carbonaceous constituents as well. Aerosol absorption (babs) and elemental carbon (EC) showed a moderate positive correlation (0.19–0.45) at 880 nm, which implies EC is the dominant component of absorption in PM2.5. Using the city-specific mass absorption cross-section (MAC ranging 8.8–12.0) for three cities, BC concentrations estimated were 14.3 ± 8.4 for Mumbai, 8.7 ± 5.6 in Bangalore and 17.0 ± 10.5 μg/m3 in Delhi. High agreement (>0.70) between babs and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) showed dominant absorption by brown carbon (BrC). Average angstrom absorption exponent (AAE) ∼1.3 across the study sites showed the influence of vehicle-emitted particles on light absorbing capacity. Ratio of babs,370/babs,880 (1.1 to 4.7) indicated a significant contribution of BrC to light absorption coefficient. OC/EC (1.1–11.0) and OC/K+ ratio (1.0–51.0) suggested the differential impact from various sources. Hence understanding the nature of aerosols in urban residential atmospheres allows us to assess the impact of source-specific emissions and warrants wider control and elimination measures.
