Abstract:

Mass concentrations of PM$_{2.5}$ particle fraction, water-soluble anion species (Cl$^{-}$, NO$_{3}$$^{-}$, SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$) and cation species (Na$^{+}$, NH$_{4}$$^{+}$, K$^{+}$, Mg$^{2+}$, Ca$^{2+}$) were determined, to investigated the relationship between pollutant mass concentrations, contribution of measured species to PM$_{2.5}$ mass and prediction of the pollutant sources. Daily PM$_{2.5}$ samples were taken over three years 2014 – 2016 at urban background site (UBS) in northern part of Zagreb, Croatia.

Mass concentrations of PM$_{2.5}$ particle fraction were determined by gravimetry according to the standard HRN EN 14907:2006 (EN 14907:2005) and HRN EN 12341:2014 (EN 12341:2014). Water-soluble ionic species were analysed using Thermo Scientific – ICS 5000 Capillary ion chromatography.
Annual average PM$_{2.5}$ mass concentration ranged from 19.6 μg m$^{-3}$ to 22.7μg m$^{-3}$ respectively. The annual average ion mass concentrations at UBS followed the order SO$_{4}$$^{-2}$ > NO$_{3}$$^{-}$ > NH$_{4}$$^{+}$ > K$^{+}$ > Ca$^{2+}$ > Cl$^{-}$ > Na$^{+}$ > Mg$^{2+}$, respectively, contributed from 26.5% to 31.5% to the overall PM$_{2.5}$ mass, respectively. ... mehr
