This study proposes the use of spatially resolved data to identify local sources contributing to PM10 mass concentration and OP in urban-industrial contexts. Over a 18-month monitoring campaign spanning from October 2020 to May 2022, a low-volume PM10 sampling device was employed at 12 sites in the Sacco River Valley, Italy.

Source apportionment via PMF analysis on spatially resolved data revealed seven PM10 source contributions, notably biomass burning and soil dust. Biomass burning predominated in winter, while soil dust prevailed in summer.

Abstract

This study proposes the use of spatially resolved data to identify local sources contributing to PM10 mass concentration and OP in urban-industrial contexts. Over a 18-month monitoring campaign spanning from October 2020 to May 2022, a low-volume PM10 sampling device was employed at 12 sites in the Sacco River Valley, Italy. PM10 samples were analyzed for OP by applying the DTT, AA, and DCFH assays, and for 77 chemical parameters: the main chemical components (major elements, inorganic ions, EC, OC, levoglucosan) and the water-soluble and insoluble fractions of 28 elements. Source apportionment via PMF analysis on spatially resolved data revealed seven PM10 source contributions, notably biomass burning and soil dust. Biomass burning predominated in winter, while soil dust prevailed in summer. Spatial variability in source contributions was observed due to diverse biomass types, domestic heating, and proximity to the cement plant and transportation networks. Bubble maps and FPCA represented OP and PM10 source relationships, highlighting biomass burning as the main contributor to OPDTT and OPDCFH, while non-exhaust traffic contributed significantly to OPAA. Findings from this study provide valuable insights into planning effective air pollution mitigation policies aimed at enhancing air quality in urban-industrial contexts.
