Characteristics of PM2.5 and its water-soluble ions in spring in Changchun, China
PM2.5 samples were collected during spring of 2014 in Changchun.The characteristics of PM2.5 and its water-soluble ions were analyzed.Results showed that PM2.5 mass concentrations were 34.9-237.5μg/m3 with average of 125.6 μg/m3.The mass concentrations of 9 water-soluble ions were 24.3-71.2 μg/m3 with average of 39.8 μg/m3.The average concentrations of 9 water-soluble ions showed SO42->Ca2+ >C1->NH4+>NO3->Na+ >K+ >Mg2+ >F-.The backward trajectory showed that the PM2.5 mainly came from northwest of Inner Mongolia and southeast of Changchun.
