Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in Ningbo from December 2012 to October 2013 analyzed PM2.5 samples at five sites across four seasons, focusing on organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) levels.
- The annual average concentration of PM2.5 was found to be 51.6 µm.m-3, with OC contributing 17% and EC 6%, largely influenced by regional transport during winter and spring.
- The seasonal variations showed that secondary organic carbon (SOC) peaks in summer, while coal burning in North China significantly affects the OC/EC ratio in winter; however, estimating SOC's contribution proved tricky in winter and spring due to regional factors.
