Abstract To investigate the characteristics and sources of haze pollution and the formation mechanism of sulfate the northern suburb of Nanjing, PM2.5 samples were collected in March 2016, and the concentrations of water-soluble ions (Na+, NH4+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, NO3- and SO42-) and carbonaceous components (OE and EC) were measured. The average concentration of PM2.5 during the sampling period was (103.22±48.5)µg/m3. In contrast to clean days, the formation of secondary sulphate in the polluted days was much stronger related to the oxidation of SO2 by NO2 than the oxidation with O3. The mineral dust could serve as buffered agent and kept the aerosol in weakly alkaline state during polluted days, which was preferred for the secondary sulfate formation. In this work, the secondary organic carbon (SOC) in PM2.5 was mainly formed from the photooxidation of hydrocarbons with O3. The main sources of PM2.5 components in polluted days were motor vehicle emissions, followed by biomass and coal combustion. In clean days, the bulk components were mainly contributed by coal combustion and dust emission with little influences from motor vehicle exhaust.
