Abstract

Aerosol samples of PM2.5 and PM10 in a period of intensive haze-fog (HF) events were collected to investigate the chemical characteristics of air pollution in Beijing. The air quality in HF episodes was much worse than that in nonhaze-fog (NHF) days. The concentrations of elements and water-soluble (WS) ions (K+, So4(2-), and NO3-) in HF episodes were more than 10 times higher than those in NHF days. Most of the chemical species in PM2.5 and the secondary species (NH4+, So4(2-), and NO3-) in PM10 showed significant difference between HF from westerly direction (HFW) and southerly direction (HFS). The concentrations of secondary species in HFS were much higher than those in HFW, and other chemical species in…
