The impact of vehicular emission in different environments: A comparison of PM10/2.5 and PM10/2.5 OP source apportionment at the urban background, traffic, and train station sites

In the study, chemical compositions and OP of PM10 and PM2.5 were observed at an urban background, urban traffic and train station sites in Reims (France), that are located 5km apart. The 24-hour sampling was taken in winter and summer. A wide range of chemicals was analyzed (carbonaceous, major ions, elements, alcohol sugars, organic acids), OP assays: AA, DTT, OH. These species were used to perform a PM SA, followed by OP SA for both PM fractions.The inter-comparison of PM and OP SA results provide the PM and OP sources according to PM characteristics, receptor site and sampling period

The Working Group of the Italian Aerosol Society worked for having collected PM10 mass and chemical composition data throughout Italy. The dataset was aggregated with seasonal temporal resolution from 2005-2016 and had a heterogeneous origin related to urban sites of large and medium-sized cities in the Po Valley, inland or coastal areas. The collected dataset allowed to assess differences in chemical composition among cities and by different geographical features: for example the Po Valley with respect to the rest of our Peninsula, relating to secondary inorganic compounds.The collection of more PM chemical composition data was extended to recent years.

Comparative analysis of PM2.5 chemical composition at an urban-industrial and rural sites in northern France

Yamina Allouche, Marc Fadel, Anthony Verdin, Frédéric Ledoux, Dominique Courcot

Unité de Chimie Environnementale et Interactions sur le Vivant (UCEIV) UR4492, Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale, F-59140 Dunkerque, France

This study aims to compare the chemical composition of PM2.5 samples from two sites in northern France: an urban-industrial site (Fort-Mardyck) and a rural site (Steene). The origins and the variations in concentrations of chemical components were examined using different tools including concentration roses, conditional bivariate probability function (CBPF), diagnostic ratios, and clustering of HYSPLIT backward trajectories. This study highlights the distinct chemical signature of PM2.5 at the urban-industrial site, characterized by higher concentrations of carbonaceous species and trace metals associated with industrial activities, compared to the rural site.

Impacts of Ship Emissions on PM2.5 and Its Spatiotemporal and Meteorological Properties in a Metro-Harbour Area

Yu-Lun Tseng1, Kuo-Cheng Lo1, Chung-Shin Yuan1, Gerry Bagtasae2

1National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan; 2University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines

This study investigated the potential impacts of ship emissions on ambient PM2.5 in a metro-harbour complex under various meteorological conditions. The research used a WRF-Chem model to simulate multiple days with elevated PM2.5 levels, revealing a strong correlation between PM2.5 concentrations and meteorological patterns, during the Asian Northeastern Mon-soons (ANMs) during winter and spring and sea-land breezes (SLBs) in summer. Wind field simulations showed the influences of ANMs and SLBs, exacerbated by coastal topography and wind patterns. Diurnal air temperature variations intensified sea breezes in warm seasons.
