[Characteristics and Source Apportionment of Carbonaceous Aerosols in the Typical Urban Areas in Chongqing During Winter].

To investigate the characteristics, source apportionment, and potential source areas of carbonaceous aerosols in Chongqing during winter, PM samples were collected from January 2021 to February 2021 in the urban areas of Wanzhou (WZ), Yubei (YB), and Shuangqiao (SQ). The results showed that the average mass concentrations of PM, OC, and EC in SQ were (72.6 ±33.

[Speciated Emission Inventory of VOCs from Industrial Sources and Their Ozone Formation Potential in Chongqing].

Based on the basic information of the Second National Pollution Source Census and the VOCs source profiles of industrial industries, we established the speciated emission inventory of major industrial sources in Chongqing in 2017, estimated their ozone formation potential (OFP), and identified the key control species of industrial VOCs and their sources. The results showed that the total VOCs emission from industrial sources and their OFPs were 144.12 kt and 477.

[Pollution Characteristics and Source Apportionment of Atmospheric VOCs During Ozone Pollution Period in the Main Urban Area of Chongqing].

In late August 2020, a period of O pollution occurred in the main urban area of Chongqing and lasted for approximately 2 weeks (till early September). Ambient air samples, collected using Summa Canisters and DNPH sampling columns at three observation sites in the main urban area, were used to study the composition, photochemical reaction activity, and source apportionment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the period of O pollution. The results showed that the mean volume fraction of TVOCs in the main urban area of Chongqing during the observation period was 45.

Particulate pollution in urban Chongqing of southwest China: Historical trends of variation, chemical characteristics and source apportionment.

Chongqing, the largest megacity in southwest China, faces serious aerosol pollution but lacks information on particle characteristics and its sources. Official data released by Chongqing Environmental Protection Bureau demonstrated that urban PM concentrations decreased remarkably from 150μgm in 2000 to 90μgm in 2012. However, only several peer-reviewed studies paid attention to local fine particle (PM) pollution.

Highly time-resolved characterization of water-soluble inorganic ions in PM in a humid and acidic mega city in Sichuan Basin, China.

To investigate the characteristics of water-soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs) in Chongqing, a well-known foggy and acid region in southwestern China, hourly real-time concentrations of five cations (Na, K, NH, Ca, and Mg) and six anions (F, Cl, NO, NO, PO, and SO) in PM during winter (from Dec. 18, 2015 to Mar. 20, 2016) in Chongqing were collected by applying In-situ Gas and Aerosol Compositions Monitor.

[Carbon source apportionment of PM2.5 in Chongqing based on local carbon profiles].

PM2.5 was sampled from commercial, industrial and residential areas in Chongqing urban city from 2nd May to 10th May 2012 in order to find out characteristics and sources of carbon in PM2.5.

[Trophic states and nutrient output of tributaries in Three Gorges Reservoir area].

TP, TN, chlorophyll a, potassium permanganate index and secchi depth (SD) and phytoplankton were determined in 15 tributaries of Three Gorges Reservoir. Trophic states were assessed and output fluxes of TN, TP and potassium permanganate index were calculated. The results showed that value of TN, TP, potassium permanganate index, SD and Chla were different in each tributary.
