Kurzfassung:
The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of size distribution and chemical composition of ambient particulates inside a tunnel. Inside the tunnel, the average concentration of PM 2.5 and PM 2.5-10 was 479 and 444 μg/m 3 respectively. The average mass-size distribution showed a trimodal distribution (25-30, 4.0-5.0, and 2.5 , PM 2.5-10 , and PM 〉 10 were 25%, 40%, and 35% of the total suspended particulates. Because of the poor air ventilation inside the tunnel, the particulates accumulate inside the tunnel. The dominated species of PM 2.5 were EC (average concentration 122.91 μg/m 3 , 25.78%), OC (47.68 μg/m 3 , 10.53%), SO 4 2- (37.42 μg/m 3 , 8.24%), and NO 3 - (35.01 μg/m 3 , 7.95%), and were EC ( 131.77 μg/m 3 , 29.87%), OC (53.74 μg/m 3 , 12.15%), SO 4 2- (31.35 μg/m 3 , 7.11%), and NO 3 - (28.10 μg/m 3 , 6.42%) for PM 2.5-10 . Results from this study showed that the concentrations of coarse particulate matter and several metals are apparently dominated by re-suspended matter rather than emissions from vehicles, e.g., Al, Ca, and Fe. Therefore, ambient particulate matter is caused by not only vehicle exhaust emission but also dusty roads and traffic-generated dust.
