Abstract:
Particulate matter of aerosol was cut off into eight stages (particle diameter ranges 0 and 8.5 μm), and inorganic ions (NH4+, SO42-, NO3-, Cl-, F-) of every stage were analyzed. The results show that Cl-, F-and NO3-dominate in the coarse particles, while SO42-and NH4+ are mostly in the fine particles. From the figure of mass concentration, the size distribution of the NH4+, Cl-, F-and SO42-show dimodal nature, while NO3-shows non-modal nature. SO42-mostly effects acidity of the fine aerosol. SO42-is correlative with NH4+, and NH4+ is mostly in the mode of (NH4)2SO4
