Zusammenfassung |
Time and size resolved data of trace elements were obtained from measurements
with a rotating drum impactor (RDI) and subsequent X-ray fluorescence
spectrometry. Trace elements can act as indicators for the
identification of sources of particulate matter <10 μm
(PM10) in ambient air. Receptor modeling was performed with positive
matrix factorization (PMF) for trace element data from an urban background
site in Zürich, Switzerland. Eight different sources were identified for
the three examined size ranges (PM1−0.1, PM2.5−1 and
PM10−2.5): secondary sulfate, wood combustion, fire works, road traffic,
mineral dust, de-icing salt, industrial and local anthropogenic activities.
The major component was secondary sulfate for the smallest size range; the
road traffic factor was found in all three size ranges. This trace element
analysis is complemented with data from an Aerodyne high-resolution
time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS), assessing the PM1
fraction of organic aerosols. A separate PMF analysis revealed three factors
related to three of the sources found with the RDI: oxygenated organic
aerosol (OOA, related to inorganic secondary sulfate), hydrocarbon-like
organic aerosol (HOA, related to road traffic) and biomass burning organic
aerosol (BBOA), explaining 60 %, 22 % and 17 % of total measured
organics, respectively. Since different compounds are used for the source
classification, a higher percentage of the ambient PM10 mass
concentration can be apportioned to sources by the combination of both
methods. |
