Long term trends of chemical constituents and source contributions of PM2.5 in Seoul.

Abstract:

:PM2.5 was measured and analyzed between 2014 and 2015 in Seoul, and its sources were identified with a positive matrix factorization (PMF) to characterize chemical constituents and sources of the measured PM2.5. To verify policy interventions in reducing PM2.5 levels in Korea, the results were compared with previously published results from 2003 to 2007 at the same study site. A total of 215 PM2.5 samples were collected and analyzed for 24 species, i.e., carbonaceous species (OCEC), ionic species (NO3-, SO42-, and NH4+), and 19 element species in this study. The average PM2.5 mass concentration during the sampling period was 42.6±23.3 μg m-3. The seasonal average mass concentration of PM2.5 was the highest during winter (49.9±20.6 μg m-3), followed by spring (45.2±25.3 μg m-3), fall (34.4±19.3 μg m-3), and summer (28.4±12.5 μg m-3). Nine sources were identified and quantified using the PMF model: secondary nitrate (19.0%), secondary sulfate (20.2%), mobile (23.3%), biomass burning (12.1%), soil (8.3%), roadway emissions (3.1%), aged sea salt (1.0%), coal combustion (4.1%), and oil combustion (9.0%). The PM2.5 levels and chemical constituents during this study were lower than those during the previous study from 2003 to 2007. Particularly, concentrations of mobile related chemicals (OC, EC, and nitrate) and mobile source contributions consistently decreased from 2003 to 2015, indicating that the mobile emission reduction policy is improving PM2.5 levels in the region. The comparison between the two periods allows trends in chemical constituents and the sources of PM2.5 in Seoul to be understood.
