Abstract | Characterizations on polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) during frequent haze periods have been conducted in an urban site of Beijing, China. Particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygenated-PAHs (OPAHs) and other carbonaceous matters were quantified. The average PM2.5 during haze events (256.3 +/- 103.7 mu g/m(3)) were one magnitude over than that of clear periods (CRs, 24.7 +/- 27.7 mu g/m(3)). The average total quantified PAHs (Sigma PAHs) and OPAHs (Sigma OPAHs) during haze events were 423.9 +/- 178.4 ng/m(3) and 581.4 +/- 299.8 ng/m(3), respectively, which were approximately 10 times higher than those of 40.3 +/- 68.2 ng/m(3) and 54.4 +/- 82.4 ng/m(3) in clear days. Four-rings PAHs had the highest compositions. 1,8-Naphthalic anhydride (1,8-NA) is the most abundant OPAHs, accounted for 49.8% of Sigma OPAHs, followed by 9,10-anthraquinone (9,10-AQ) (13.8%) and benzo(a)anthracene-7,12-dione (BaAQ) (8.31%). In haze events, the contents of 5- to 7-rings PAHs decreased by 2.32% compared with those of clear days, while lower molecular weight fractions of 3- and 4-rings PAHs increased. The relationships between PAHs, OPAHs and relative humidity (RH) were found to be exponential. High oxygenation rate (R-0) ratios of OPAH/PAH represents higher rates in secondary formation or degradation and gas-particle conversion for each PAH or OPAH during the wintertime. Significant positive correlation between BeP and OPAHs (r = 0.97), combined with the results of photochemical aging and negatively correlationwith O-3, suggest that secondary atmospheric reactions of PAHs played an important role in the burden of OPAHs. |
