China is one of the most important contributors to the global burden of carbonaceous aerosols, of which domestic coal combustion occupies a large fraction. Uncertainty in the emission factors (EFs) directly influences the accuracy of corresponding emission inventories. In the present study, based on domestic burning tests with a dilution sampling system, nine size-segregated particle classes emitted from the burning of three kinds of honeycomb coals (under flaming and smoldering burning conditions) and four kinds of chunk coals, including bituminous and lignite, were collected via a cascade impactor (FA-3).

The contents of V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Sb, and Pb were analyzed to get their emission factors (EFs) in different particle size fractions. Results indicated that:① Zn and Pb dominated the emitted mass of heavy metals from chunk (53.

Then the total emission amounts of heavy metals from residential coals burning in 2012 were calculated and 30 km×30 km grid cell-based emission inventories were established. The results showed that the EFs of Pb, Zn, As and Cu were higher from honeycomb coal burning.
