| 英文摘要 | In this study, PM10 aerosol samples were collected at 4 urban and 1 rural sites in the region of Cienfuegos (Cuba) and analyzed for their chemical compositions (total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), NH4 +, Cl−, NO3 − and SO4 2−) and their stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N), and radioactive (210Pb, 7Be, 137Cs and 40K) isotope systematics, in order to better constrain both their sources of pollution and their atmospheric dynamics. The average PM10 concentrations varied from 21.67 ± 8.54 μg m−3 at the rural site to 39.01 ± 8.23 μg m−3 at an urban site characterized by high road traffic. Chemical compositions showed low variability and similar abundances of the ionic species, but we observed strong correlations between i) NH4 + and SO4 2− that indicates the formation of secondary ammonium bisulfate (NH4HSO4), and ii) between PM10 and TC highlighting the significant influence of carbonaceous aerosols. We are reporting here the first 210Pb aerosol concentrations in this region and demonstrate that, coupled with the corresponding 7Be concentrations, they allow characterizing the dynamics of the regional continental air masses. δ13C values in PM10 appear to be controlled by i) emissions from different types of combustion sources, including fossil fuel and biomass burning and ii) carbonate inputs from the industrial activities located around the limestone quarries, east of the city. δ15N values presented large isotope variations that can be explained by kinetic processes and the exchange between gas (NH3) and particle (NH4 +) phases during the formation of secondary NH4HSO4, a reaction that was enhanced as Cl− concentrations decreased, revealing the preponderant role of local emissions in the budget of the aerosol nitrogen. This study confirms that isotope analysis is reliable for tracing the origin of aerosols and highlight the importance of a multi-isotope approach. © 2020 Elsevier B.V. |
