Based on the measurement data of PM, aerosol number concentration (10nm~10μm), water-soluble ions (WSIs) and meteorological elements, the characteristics of aerosol size distribution and chemical components during a long-range transport of dust pollution episode in the Yangtze River Delta were analyzed from May 3 to 8, 2017. The results showed that the PM concentration gradually decreased when the dust transmitted from north to south accompanying with the synoptic system, but the duration time of high PM concentrations increased to the contrary. The impact time of the dust was 38h in Hohhot and exceeded 60h in Nanjing. The spectral distribution of number concentration shifted to larger particles on dust days, peaking at 26nm and 33nm on non-dust and dust days, respectively. The aerosol surface area concentration had a trimodal distribution on non-dust days and exhibited four peaks on dust days. The WSI concentrations in PM2.5 and PM10 on dust days ranked in the order of Ca2+ > NH4+ > SO42- > NO3- > Mg2+ > Na+ > Cl- > NO2- > K+>F-, and NH4+ > SO42- > NO3- > Mg2+ > Ca2+ > Cl- > NO2- > K+ > Na+ > F- on non-dust days. The mass concentration of Ca2+ and Na+ in PM2.5, PM10 on dust days were 9.5, 13.7 and 4.4, 4.6times higher than those on non-dust days, respectively. The proportion of Ca2+ to the total WSIs in PM2.5 and PM10 was 24.7% and 24.9% on dust days, which was 4.9 and 5.7times higher than those on non-dust days. The proportion of NO3- in PM10 on dust days (18.7%) was higher than that on non-dust days (13.9%); but was only 7.9% for that in PM2.5 on dust days, which was lower than that on non-dust days (13.2%). The proportions of F-, Cl-, SO42-, NH4+ and K+ in PM2.5 and PM10 on dust days were uniformly lower than those on non-dust days.
