Abstract:

Daily PM2.5 samples were collected in Chengdu for a period of one month in each of the seasons of 2011. Particle scattering coefficient and particle absorption coefficient were synchronously measured. The seasonal and daily variations in bsp and bap and the relation between bext (bsp+bap) and the PM2.5 mass concentration was discussed based on above-measured data to investigate the causes of hazy weather. The results show that the annual bsp and bap values were (456±237) Mm-1 and (96±73) Mm-1, respectively, and that daily variation in bsp was influenced by metoroligical factors and transpotation of polltants from Chengdu suburban while daily variation in bap was influenced by metoroligical factors and local motor emission in the urban aera. Good correlation between PM2.5 and bext was found (R2>0.92), which suggests that the higher PM2.5 concentration is the key impact factor for hazy weather.

Key words: haze, particle scattering coefficient, particle absorption coefficient, particle extinction coefficient, PM2.5
