Abstract
To study the emission characteristics of carbonaceous aerosol in particulate matter emitted from vehicle exhaust and main civil combustion fuels, organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) in PM10 and PM2.5 samples from vehicle sources (gasoline vehicles, light duty diesel vehicles, and heavy duty diesel vehicles), civil coal (chunk coal and briquette coal), and biomass fuels (wheat straw, wood plank, and grape branches) were collected and analyzed by using a multifunctional portable dilution channel sampler and the Model 5L-NDIR OC/EC analyzer. The results showed that there were significant differences in the proportion of carbonaceous aerosols in PM10 and PM2.5from different emission sources. The proportions of total carbon (TC) in PM10 and PM2.5 of different emission sources were 40.8%-68.5% and 30.5%-70.9%, respectively, and the OC/EC were 1.49-31.56 and 1.90-87.57, respectively. The carbon components produced by different emission sources were dominated by OC, and the OC/TC values in PM10 and PM2.5 were 56.3%-97.0% and 65.0%-98.7%, respectively. The proportions of OC in carbonaceous aerosols in PM10and PM2.5 were in the descending order of:briquette coal>chunk coal>gasoline vehicle>wood plank>wheat straw>light duty diesel vehicle>heavy duty diesel vehicle and briquette coal>gasoline car>grape branches>chunk coal>light duty diesel vehicle>heavy duty diesel vehicle, respectively. The main components of carbonaceous aerosols in PM10 and PM2.5 emitted from the various emission sources were different, and source apportionment of carbonaceous aerosols could be accurately distinguished by their ingredient composition profiles.
