Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 環境工程研究所 === 94 === The high-volume air sampling (PS-1) and micro-orifice uniform deposit impactor (MOUDI) were used to measure the concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmosphere for four seasons at Zuoying and Siaogang in Kaohsiung city, together with the size distributions. Also, the CMB (Chemical Mass Balance) receptor model was employed to determine the potential sources of PAHs. The results show that the highest concentrations of PAHs occurred in winter, being 143.9 ng/m3 and 182.9 ng/m3 at Zuoying and Siaogang, respectively; while the lowest concentrations of PAHs occurred in summer, being 81.4 ng/m3 and 95.2 ng/m3. The low-weight PAHs in the two sites were abundant in gaseous phase, being 55.89 - 95.89 % and 67.07 - 96.61 % at Zuoying and Siaogang, respectively. Meanwhile, the high-weight PAHs were almost present in particulate phase, being 55.24 - 83.50 % and 46.87 - 77.26 % at Zuoying and Siaogang, respectively. The sizes of 50th percentile of cumulative size distribution, d50 of Zuoying and Siaogang were 0.89 μm and 0.35 μm, respectively. Hence, most atmospheric PAHs existed in fine-particle ranges (<1.0μm). The results of by CMB receptor modeling indicated that the major sources of pollution was exhaust emission (49 - 62 %) in Zuoying, and was burning source (49 - 64 %) in Siaogang.
