Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Atmospheric PM_(2.5) during Winter Haze in Huang-gang, Central China: Characteristics, Sources and Health Risk Assessment

摘要


Levels, compositions, sources and health risk of PM_(2.5)-bound PAHs were measured at a regional monitoring site of Huang-gang in the winter of 2018. Samples were collected every morning, afternoon, evening and late night (LN). The average concentrations of PM_(2.5) and PAHs were 110.4 ± 48.3 μg m^(-3) and 25.6 ± 12.0 ng m^(-3), respectively. The concentration of PM_(2.5) was in the order of evening > morning > afternoon > LN, while PAHs concentration was in the order of evening > LN > morning > afternoon. According to PM_(2.5) concentration and its changing trend, the haze can be divided into three stages: early (low concentration, January 13-15, EHZ), medium (high concentration, January 16-22, MHZ) and late (concentration decreased rapidly, January 23-24, LHZ). A positive correlation (P < 0.01) was observed between PM_(2.5) and Σ_(16)PAHs concentration only in MHZ. Besides, PAHs concentration was positively related to NO_x concentration, CO concentration and temperature but negatively correlated with RH, independent of O_3 concentration. The ratios of OC/EC indicated that the secondary aerosol had a great influence on the formation of haze. Three sources of PAHs including traffic emission, coal combustion and biomass combustion were extracted and quantified, accounting for 54.4%, 13.3% and 32.3% of PAHs, respectively. Potential source contribution function (PSCF) and concentration weighted trajectory (CWT) indicated the transmission of PM_(2.5) from Wuhan and local pollutant emission were crucial to the formation of haze. BaP_(eq) concentration combined with ILCR values was used to evaluate health risk and the results showed this haze had potential health risk to both adults and children.
