“…5). The EF values of the metals in SPM were similar to those in the previous investigation (Gao et al, 2002). The EF values of the metals were much higher in COM than in SPM, indicating that the colloids played very important role in regulating the migration, transformation, and fate of the investigated metals.…”

“…It was found the deposition fluxes of metals were higher than, and the EF values of SPM in this study (Table 3,Fig. 5) were lower than in New York (Gao et al, 2002), indicating that the contributions and compositions of crustal source were higher than those in New York. Soil and rock erosion and street dust was heavy in China.…”

“…Wang et al (2006) also showed the high concentrations of Zn in fly ashes from incinerators. Gao et al (2002) observed the high concentrations of Cd in ashes from incinerators. It was reported that 75% of the municipal solid waste was incinerated in Japan, while most of the solid waste was buried in China.…”

“…Nevertheless, the daily levels of Pb fluctuated significantly from 7.1 to 2,370 ng/m 3 with a mean of 180 ng/m 3 (Sdandard Division 233). Although they are lower than the figures in the previous reports (Sun et al, 2006), they are considerably higher than the values in other cities (Chow et al, 1996;Gao et al, 2002;Huang et al, 1996). In view that leaded gasoline has been banned since 1997 in Beijing, there may be some unknown minor Pb sources, such as illegal leaded gasoline used in vehicles from remote cities, industrial activities, coal combustion, and re-entrainment of lead-contaminated soil particles.…”

During 2001-2006, PM 2.5 (particle matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 microns) and PM 10 (particle matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 microns) were collected at the Beijng Normal University (BNU) site, China, and in 2006, at a background site in Duolun (DL). The long-term monitoring data of elements, ions, and black carbon showed that the major constituents of PM 2.5 were black carbon (BC) crustal elements, nitrates, ammonium salts, and sulfates. These five major components accounted for 20%-80% of the total PM 2.5 . During this period, levels of Pb and S in PM remained rather high, as compared with the levels in other large cities in the world. Source apportionment results suggest that there were 6 common sources for PM 2.5 and PM 10 , i.e., soil dust, vehicular emission, coal combustion, secondary aerosol, industrial emission, and biomass burning. Coal combustion was the largest contributor of PM 2.5 with a percentage of 16.6%, whereas soil dust played the most important role in PM 10 with a percentage of 27%. In contrast, only three common types of sources could be resolved at the background DL site, namely, soil dust, biomass combustion, and secondary aerosol from combustion sources.

Potential Sources of Trace Metals and Ionic Species in PM2.5 in Guadalajara, Mexico: A Case Study during Dry Season

This study was conducted from May 25 to June 6, 2009 at a downtown location (Centro) and an urban sector (Miravalle) site in the Metropolitan Zone of Guadalajara (MZG) in Mexico. The atmospheric concentrations of PM 2.5 and its elemental and inorganic components were analyzed to identify their potential sources during the warm dry season. The daily measurements of PM 2.5 (24 h) exceeded the WHO (World Health Organization) air quality guidelines (25 µg¨m´3). The most abundant element was found to be Fe, accounting for 59.8% and 72.2% of total metals mass in Centro and Miravalle, respectively. The enrichment factor (EF) analysis showed a more significant contribution of non-crustal sources to the elements in ambient PM 2.5 in Centro than in the Miravalle site. Particularly, the highest enrichment of Cu suggested motor vehicle-related emissions in Centro. The most abundant secondary ionic species (NO 3´; SO 4 2´a nd NH 4 + ) and the ratio NO 3´/ SO 4 2´c orroborated the important impact of mobile sources to fine particles at the sampling sites. In addition, the ion balance indicated that particles collected in Miravalle experienced neutralization processes likely due to a higher contribution of geological material.Other important contributors to PM 2.5 included biomass burning by emissions transported from the forest into the city.
