Abstract | PM2.5 is widely regarded as a major air pollutant due to its adverse health impacts and intimate relationship with the climate system. This study aims to characterize the chemical components (e.g., organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), water soluble ionic species (WSIS) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in PM2.5 collected at Doi-Inthanon in Chiang-Mai, Thailand, the highest mountain in Thailand. All samples (n = 50) were collected by MiniVolTM portable air samplers from March 2017 to March 2018. In this study we found the average PM2.5 concentration was 100 +/- 48.6 mu g m(-3). The OC/EC ratio was 6.8 +/- 3.0, and the decreasing order of the WSIS concentrations was SO42->Na+>Ca2+>NH4+>NO3->K+>Cl->NO2->Mg2+> F-. The total concentrations of nineteen PAHs were defined as the sum of Ace, Fl, Phe, Ant, Fluo, Pyr, B[a]A, Chry, B[b]F, B[k]F, B[a]F, B[e]P, B[a]P, Per, Ind, B[g,h,i]P, D[a,h]A, Cor, and D[a,e]P. The concentration of total PAHs was 2.361 +/- 2.154 mu g m(-3). Principal component analysis (PCA) highlights the importance of vehicular exhaust, biomass burning, diesel emissions, sea-salt aerosols and volatilization from fertilizers as the five dominant potential sources that accounted for 51.6%, 16.2%, 10.6%, 5.20% and 3.70% of the total variance, respectively. The rest of the 12.7% variance probably is associated with unidentified local and regional sources such as incinerators, joss paper/incense burning, and domestic cooking. Interestingly, the results from the source estimations from the PCA underlined the importance of vehicular exhaust as the major contributor to the PM2.5 concentrations in the ambient air of Don-Inthanon, Chiang-Mai province. However, it is crucial to emphasize that the impacts of agricultural waste burning, fossil fuel combustion, coal combustion and forest fires on the variations of OC, EC and WSIS contents were not negligible. |
