Abstract

A new receptor model based on the alternating trilinear decomposition followed by a score matrix reconstruction (ATLD-SMR) was developed for the source apportionment of urban PM10 for the first time. First, simulated three-way data arrays of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to verify the feasibility of the ATLD-SMR method. Then, PM10 samples (receptor) at five locations and TSP samples of ten pollution sources were collected during July and August, 2018 in Loudi City, China. The collected samples were measured by GC-MS. PAHs were used as tracers and their concentrations were accurately obtained by the ATLD-SMR analysis of GC-MS data of these samples after the problems of GC-MS including baseline drift, retention-time shift and unexpected peaks overlapping were successfully resolved. The highest concentrations of individual PAH in these samples were for phenanthrene and benzo [a] pyrene (40.76 ng m-3 and 39.63 ng m-3 in Liangang steel-making workshop, respectively). Last, a relative contribution matrix of the source to the receptor was estimated by the ATLD-SMR method. The proposed method was employed to apportion the source contributions to PM10 particles at five locations and reasonable results were obtained, thus presenting a promising tool for source apportionment of complex ambient particulate matter.
