• Theoretical and field evaluation of a PM<inf>2.5</inf> high-volume impactor inlet design

  　View Summary

  © 2020 A PM2.5 high-volume impactor (HVI) sampler is developed, which has a flow rate of 1130 L per minute (lpm) (1.13 m3/min) and in it, the filter size used is of 8 inch × 10 inch. The major advantages of this sampler as compared to other low-volume sampler (flow rate 16.67 lpm) are lower uncertainty in mass measurement, higher PM2.5 mass collection and lesser sampling time. To develop this PM2.5 HVI sampler, a series of simulation and experimental studies were carried out. The optimized D50 cutoff size of 2.52 μm was obtained experimentally under real ambient conditions (i.e. with polydisperse ambient particles) after the parametric adjustments. The commercial PM2.5 HV sampler cutoff size was also evaluated experimentally, and agreed well to the D50 cutoff size of developed PM2.5 HVI sampler. Field performance studies of developed PM2.5 HVI sampler were also carried out under both high- and low- particle mass loading conditions along with commercial PM2.5 high- and low-volume samplers. The developed PM2.5 HVI sampler agreed well with commercial PM2.5 high- and low-volume samplers, i.e. PM2.5 HVS, BAM and WINS reference sampler in mass measurement with mean deviations of 12.7, 18.5 and 11.7 μg/m3 (i.e. 5.05, 4.86 and 3.70%), respectively under tested conditions. This PM2.5 HVI sampler is very useful especially where the extensive offline chemical analysis of filter samples/high amount of particulate material is needed for source apportionment studies or analysis of bioassay or toxicological purposes (in vitro/in vivo studies), diurnal studies, and air sampling where the mass concentration of particles is very low, e.g. marine, polar regions, most of the rural sites, etc.

• Modeling Transition Metals in East Asia and Japan and Its Emission Sources

  © 2020. The Authors. Emission inventories of anthropogenic transition metals, which contribute to aerosol oxidative potential (OP), in Asia (Δx = 0.25°, monthly, 2000–2008) and Japan (Δx = 2 km, hourly, mainly 2012) were developed, based on bottom-up inventories of particulate matters and metal profiles in a speciation database for particulate matters. The new inventories are named Transition Metal Inventory (TMI)-Asia v1.0 and TMI-Japan v1.0, respectively. It includes 10 transition metals in PM2.5 and PM10, which contributed to OP based on reagent experiments, namely, Cu, Mn, Co, V, Ni, Pb, Fe, Zn, Cd, and Cr. The contributions of sectors in the transition metals emission in Japan were also investigated. Road brakes and iron-steel industry are primary sources, followed by other metal industry, navigation, incineration, power plants, and railway. In order to validate the emission inventory, eight elements such as Cu, Mn, V, Ni, Pb, Fe, Zn, and Cr in anthropogenic dust and those in mineral dust were simulated over East Asia and Japan with Δx = 30 km and Δx = 5 km domains, respectively, and compared against the nation-wide seasonal observations of PM2.5 elements in Japan and the long-term continuous observations of total suspended particles (TSPs) at Yonago, Japan in 2013. Most of the simulated elements generally agreed with the observations, while Cu and Pb were significantly overestimated. This is the first comprehensive study on the development and evaluation of emission inventory of OP active elements, but further improvement is needed.

• Charging states on atmospheric aerosol particles affected by meteorological conditions

  　View Summary

  © 2020 Previous studies on haze formation focused mainly on the various chemical components in aerosol particles and their physicochemical effects on particle behaviour (e.g., generation, growth, and agglomeration). This paper describes the measurement of the charging state on atmospheric aerosol particles, which could be affected by meteorological conditions. A series of experiments on particle charging state and meteorological factors was undertaken on the roof of the west 4th building on the Qujiang Campus at Xi'an Jiaotong University (China). Measurements were conducted approximately 20 m above ground level. Our results showed that most atmospheric particles carried net negative or positive charge and that the electric charge on the particles varied diurnally and seasonally. The average amount of charge on particles was higher in winter than in summer. The number concentration of charged particles was higher during the day than overnight. Obvious difference in the average charge of aerosol particles was found between sand–dust days and haze days. A strong relationship was found between the PM2.5 concentration, charge amount on particles, and humidity. Our findings show that particle formation and growth could partly be attributed to variation in particle charging state, which is related to meteorological conditions including atmospheric humidity.

• Effects of ambient PM<inf>2.5</inf> collected using cyclonic separator from Asian cities on human airway epithelial cells

  © Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research. Recent studies have shown that air pollution is intense and hazardous in Asia compared to other parts of the world due to the late and poor implementation of updated technology in automobiles and industry as well as to the high population density. Respiratory disease, including asthma, is exacerbated by air pollution. However, the effects of PM2.5, especially on respiratory allergies in Asian cities, have not yet been examined in detail. In this study, airway epithelial cells were exposed to crude PM2.5 particles collected by cyclonic separation from three different Asian cities, namely, Sakai, Bangkok, and Taipei. We compared the cytotoxicity and inflammatory potential of the PM2.5 from these cities by measuring IL-6 and IL-8. The samples from Sakai and Bangkok caused cytotoxic effects at a dose of 75 µg mL–1 and, moreover, induced the release of IL-6 and IL-8 even at low doses. The release of these two interleukins was highly associated with fluoranthene derivatives, microbial factors (endotoxin and β-glucan), metals (e.g., Ti), and organic (OC2 and OC3) and elemental carbon (EC1) in the PM2.5. Thus, these components potentially contribute to cellular damage and a pro-inflammatory response in the airway epithelial cells, and the effect depends on PM2.5 sources in the locations.

• Chemical speciation of water-soluble ionic components in PM<inf>2.5</inf> derived from peatland fires in Sumatra Island

  　View Summary

  © 2019 Turkish National Committee for Air Pollution Research and Control We conducted a field study to characterize water-soluble ionic species in PM2.5 from peatland fires using ground-based samplings at fire sources and receptor sites in the Riau Province, Sumatra, Indonesia. We determined the concentrations of PM2.5 mass, water-soluble ions, and some chemical elements. Through PM2.5 field samplings at three peatland fire sources, we have shown that the mass fractions of typical peatland fire water-soluble ionic components tend to differ between peatland fire sources. Thus, our results indicate that PM2.5 source profiles of water-soluble ionic components for peatland fire must be selected with extreme caution if applied to a receptor model. From the viewpoint of ionic composition of each peatland fire sample, Cl− and NH4+ were consistently dominant anions and cations, respectively, for all peatland fire samples, i.e., NH4Cl was a consistently dominant component. Through field samplings of the ambient PM2.5 in Pekanbaru during peatland fire-induced haze and non-haze periods, we found differences in PM2.5 mass and total water-soluble ionic component concentrations between haze and non-haze samples. Four components, C2O42−, NO3−, SO42−, and NH4+, showed highly elevated levels during haze periods. Since these four ions are recognized as the major secondarily formed aerosol components, the increased total concentrations of water-soluble ionic components during haze periods can mainly be derived from the gas-to-aerosol conversion process. The ionic compositions of haze samples at receptor sites are obviously different from those at peatland fire source samples. In particular, NH4Cl, which is characteristic of peatland fire PM2.5 sources, is low at sites during haze periods.
