Analysis of Chemical Composition of the Fine Particulate Matter in Summer in Tianjin City via a Single Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (SPAMS)

As an important megacity of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei air pollution transmission channel and the Bohai Sea Economic Zone, Tianjin is influenced by air pollution in recent years, thus research on the fine particulate matter in Tianjin is of vital value. In this study, single particle aerosol mass spectrometry (SPAMS) was used to measure data of Jinnan District in Tianjin during August 2017, to describe the chemical features of fine particles in summer ambient air and estimate the potential pollution sources of fine particles. By using the ART-2a clustering method, 12 classes of PM were acquired, such as elemental carbon particles, Fe-NO3 particles, Na-K particles, and metal particles. After monitoring the size distribution and diurnal variation of fine particles, it was concluded that the ratio of EC particles decreased as the size increased, whereas dust particles and Fe-NO3 particles showed the opposite trend; three types of EC particles varied differently in a day according to the photochemical reaction; and the ratio of Fe-NO3 particles was elevated in the daytime because of industrial production during that period. Backward trajectories of daily airflow at the measured spot were also calculated. When the monitoring site was affected by the air mass from the southwest, coal-burning particles may have contributed more; whereas, when the air mass from the southeast occurred more frequently, biomass burning and sea salt particles possibly contributed more.
