Source Apportionment of Particulate Matter in China
Background Particulate matter (PM) suspended in the atmosphere is different from other air pollutants, which is composed of multi-components and can be from both primary and secondary sources. In recent years, with the regulation of PM2.5 (particles with the aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 micron) in the U.S. and the recognition of impacts of particulate matter on human health, visibility and climate change, there is increasing number of research focusing on the sources and composition of particulate matter, especially PM2.5. In China, particulate matter problem is more urgent than Europe and the U.S. as most of the time the key pollutant is particulate matter in most cities. Therefore, it is important to review previous PM source apportionment (SA) work in China and propose the future research direction in this important area for formulating a better control strategy for PM.
