Elucidating size-resolved levels, characteristics, and processes of carbonaceous aerosols (CA) in an urban atmosphere
An Anderson Cascade Impactor (ACI) was utilised in an urban coastal area of Mumbai to collect size-resolved particulate matter (PM) during winter and summer. This study aims to provide insights into size-resolved composition, characteristics and processes of organic aerosols in a coastal and tropical environment, which is scarce in the available literature. Collected samples were analysed for organic (total and soluble) and elemental carbon levels, and volatility using thermal-optical and total carbon analyzers. OC peaked at 0.65–1.1 μm in both seasons, indicating formation via gas-to-particle condensation. EC showed a peak at 0.43–0.65 μm, characteristic of vehicular emissions. Peak OC concentrations were 12.22 ± 3.65 μg/m3 in winter and 3.14 ± 2.87 μg/m3 in summer. For EC, peak concentrations were 3.39 ± 1.14 μg/m3 in winter and 3.14 ± 1.87 μg/m3 in summer. Most samples showed OC/EC ratios >2, indicating significant secondary organic carbon (SOC) contribution to OC. The SOC/OC ratio in PM2.1 was higher in summer (9.84 ± 3.14) than in winter (4.21 ± 1.45), likely due to enhanced photochemical activity and ozone levels. The most abundant volatility-based OC-EC fractions were OC2, OC4 and EC1, indicating major contribution of vehicular emissions to PM mass. Char-EC/soot-EC ratios varied significantly (1–16) based on size and seasons indicating influence of various sources. Anthropogenic VOCs showed good correlation with SOC at certain sizes and seasons. This study shows that size-resolved carbonaceous aerosol (CA = EC + OM) contributes significantly to all PM sizes and to improve air quality, targeted approach based on various contributing processes and precursors of CA are needed.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric Pollution Research (APR) is an international journal designed for the publication of articles on air pollution. Papers should present novel experimental results, theory and modeling of air pollution on local, regional, or global scales. Areas covered are research on inorganic, organic, and persistent organic air pollutants, air quality monitoring, air quality management, atmospheric dispersion and transport, air-surface (soil, water, and vegetation) exchange of pollutants, dry and wet deposition, indoor air quality, exposure assessment, health effects, satellite measurements, natural emissions, atmospheric chemistry, greenhouse gases, and effects on climate change.
