Abstract

Aerosol ammonium(NH4+),mainly produced from the reactions of ammonia(NH3)with acids in the atmo-sphere,has significant impacts on air pollution,radiative forcing,and human health.Understanding the source and formation mechanism of NH4+can provide scientific insights into air quality improvements.However,the sources of NH3 in urban areas are not well understood,and few studies focus on NH3/NH4 at different heights within the atmospheric boundary layer,which hinders a comprehensive under-standing of aerosol NH4+.In this study,we perform both field observation and modeling studies(the Community Multiscale Air Quality,CMAQ)to investigate regional NH3 emission sources and vertically resolved NH4+formation mechanisms during the winter in Beijing.Both stable nitrogen isotope analyses and CMAQ model suggest that combustion-related NH3 emissions,including fossil fuel sources,NH3 slip,and biomass burning,are important sources of aerosol NH4+with more than 60％contribution occurring on heavily polluted days.In contrast,volatilization-related NH3 sources(livestock breeding,N-fertilizer application,and human waste)are dominant on clean days.Combustion-related NH3 is mostly local from Beijing,and biomass burning is likely an important NH3 source(～15％-20％)that was previously over-looked.More effective control strategies such as the two-product(e.g.,reducing both SO2 and NH3)con-trol policy should be considered to improve air quality.
