| Zusammenfassung |
| The combined effect of residential wood combustion (RWC)
emissions with stable atmospheric conditions, which frequently occurs in
Northern Sweden during wintertime, can deteriorate the air quality even in
small towns. To estimate the contribution of RWC to the total atmospheric
aerosol loading, positive matrix factorization (PMF) was applied to hourly
mean particle number size distributions measured in a residential area in
Lycksele during winter 2005/2006. The sources were identified based on the
particle number size distribution profiles of the PMF factors, the diurnal
contributions patterns estimated by PMF for both weekends and weekdays, and
correlation of the modeled particle number concentration per factor with
measured aerosol mass concentrations (PM10, PM1, and
light-absorbing carbon MLAC) Through these analyses, the factors were
identified as local traffic (factor 1), local RWC (factor 2), and local RWC
plus long-range transport (LRT) of aerosols (factor 3). In some occasions,
the PMF model could not separate the contributions of local RWC from
background concentrations since their particle number size distributions
partially overlapped. As a consequence, we report the contribution of RWC as
a range of values, being the minimum determined by factor 2 and the possible
maximum as the contributions of both factors 2 and 3. A multiple linear
regression (MLR) of observed PM10, PM1, total particle number, and
MLAC concentrations is carried out to determine the source contribution
to these aerosol variables. The results reveal RWC is an important source of
atmospheric particles in the size range 25–606 nm (44–57%), PM10
(36–82%), PM1 (31–83%), and MLAC (40–76%) mass
concentrations in the winter season. The contribution from RWC is especially
large on weekends between 18:00 LT and midnight whereas local traffic
emissions show similar contributions every day. |
