Abstract:PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 samples were collected from March 2010 to February 2011 and January 2017 to December 2017 in the urban area of Chongqing. The mass concentrations of nine water-soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs) were determined by anion chromatography, and characteristics of WSIIs inmulti-size particles during recent years were investigated. The results showed that the annualmean concentrationsof WSIIs in PM1.0, PM1.0~2.5 and PM2.5~10 were 24.10, 32.89 and 39.11μg/m3 respectively, accounting for 41.8%, 40.3% and 38.6% of PM respectively in 2017. The annual mean concentrations of WSIIs in PM in 2010 (39.85, 47.84 and 57.12μg/m3 respectively) were higher than that in 2017, and so were thefractions (49.2%, 46.6% and 36.2% respectively). However, the concentrations and fractions of NO3- in PM increased by 12.3%~27.8% and 53.1%~8.2% respectively from 2010 to 2017, and NO3- was the primary ion in 2017 winter. SO42-, NO3-, NH4+, Cl-, K+, and Na+ were mainly distributed in fine particles, while F-, Mg2+ and Ca2+ were the major WSIIs components in coarse particles. The particles in Chongqing were slightly alkaline, especially coarse particles, and NH4+ were existed in the form of (NH4)2SO4 and NH4NO3. Compared with that in 2010, the concentrations of both SO42- and NO3- increased with the increase of relative humidity in fine particles in 2017. RH-dependent heterogeneous reactions contributed greatly to the formation of sulfate and nitrate in 2017, especially in PM1.0. With the aggravation of pollution, the evolution processes of different ions were differentinmulti-size particles. Among them, the concentrations and fractions of NO3- in WSIIs increased significantly and NO3- was the primarily driver of heavy pollution in fine particles in 2017, while the contributions of SO42- and the ions from dust (Mg2+ and Ca2+) decreased. In addition, themass ratios of NO3-/SO42- in different particle size increased with the aggravation of pollution and were higher than 1.0 during the heavy pollution days in 2017, but not in 2010. The main sources of WSIIs in fine particles were secondary formation, while dust was the major source of WSIIs incoarse particles. The pollution of dust in 2017 was lighter than that in 2010, but the contribution of secondary formation was increased significantly from 2010 to 2017, especially the formation of nitrate in Chongqing. The control of NOx emission sourcesis critical to reduce WSIIs emission. Results provided important information for the study of the sources and formation mechanisms of the atmospheric particles in Chongqing.
