摘要

Abstract

Aerosol samples were collected at two coastal suburban stations

Qingdao (China) in 1995–1996 and Liverpool (U.K.) in 1995

respectively. The samples were analyzed to determine the concentrations of trace metals (Cr

and Cd) as well as Al

Fe and Mn. Data were examined to understand the difference of trace metals in aerosols between coastal zones downwind the developing area (near the Yellow Sea) and developed region (near the Irish Sea). The results show that most elements at Qingdao have levels 4–5 times higher than those at Liverpool

particularly for the crust-dominated elements (e.g. Al

Fe and Mn). Moreover

the aerosol composition at Qingdao is higher in spring than in summer

underlying the influence of westerlies and local emissions in combination

whereas seasonal change of aerosol composition is not significant at Liverpool. The enrichment factors for the crustal source elements (EF crust) at Liverpool are much higher than those at Qingdao. The contributions from the pollutant source (R p) for some trace metals like Cu

Zn and Cd are >90% at Qingdao and Liverpool

suggesting overwhelming anthropogenic contributions to these metals. The contributions from crustal source (R c) for trace metals tend to increase with higher aerosol levels and Al concentration at Qingdao

indicating a good correlation between the crust-dominated component and the air mass. At Liverpool

the R c values for trace metals are positively correlated with Al concentrations instead of with aerosol mass

suggesting that Al in aerosols represents the crustal component even though the aerosols come from different sources.
