In order to investigate the chemical composition and source apportionment of aerosols during winter in the Beijing-Tianjin-Heibei region, the particular matter (PM) and aerosol chemical composition at Mt. Haituo were observed by using a GRIMM 180, a single-particle soot photometer (SP2), and a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-TOF-AMS) from December 28, 2020 to February 3, 2021. Combining these observations with meteorological data and the HYSPLIT model, we calculated the potential source contribution factor (PSCF) and concentration weighted trajectory (CWT) and analyzed the temporal evolution and potential sources apportionment of PM and aerosol chemical composition under different pollution processes.

To control the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus(COVID-19), China imposed rigorous restrictions, which resulted in great reductions in pollutant emissions. However, two heavy haze pollution episodes still occurred in Beijing. In this study, we use the air pollutants, aerosol number concentration, and meteorological elements data in Beijing, combined with the HYSPLIT model, to calculate the potential source contribution factor(PSCF) and concentration weight trajectory(CWT), and analyze the characteristics of evolution and potential source apportionment of atmospheric pollutants during the two episodes.
