Secondary components are important composition of PM2.5, mainly including SO42-, NO3-, NH4+ and SOA. 513 PM2.5 samples were collected at six sampling sites in Nanjing during four seasons from October 2014 to August 2015. Based on the chemical compositions, temporal and spatial characteristics of secondary components of PM2.5 in Nanjing were analyzed. On averagely, the secondary components accounted for about 57.7% of the PM2.5 mass concentration. Concentrations of SO42-, NO3-, NH4+ and SOA were 11.9, 12.5, 7.7 and 8.7μg/m3, with proportions of 17.2%, 16.9%, 10.5% and 13.1%, respectively, and 98.8% of SO42- was non-sea-salt-originated. The value of[NO3-]/[SO42-] had been increasing rapidly in recent yearsand reached about 1.0 in 2015, suggesting that vehicle pollution hasbeen aggravated in Nanjing. The contents of NO3-, NH4+ and SOA in Nanjing werehigh in autumnand winter, lower in spring and summer, but SO42- shows the opposite trend. Proportion of secondary componentswasthe highest (73.5%) in the outer suburb of the city, followed by suburb regions (59.0%), and lowest in city center and industrial region (57.3%, 57.4%), reflecting different sources in different regions.Proportions of NO3- kept steadily increasing with PM2.5 concentrations rise, suggestingvehicle pollution may play a more important role in heavy haze pollution episodes. This study contributes to deepen understanding of the sources of PM2.5 in Nanjing, and provides a scientific basis for the haze pollution control.
