Investigation of temporal and spatial characteristics of carbonyl compounds in the Atmosphere in Kaohsiung

The concentrations of atmospheric carbonyls were studied by the
LpDNPH-Cartridge and the microcomputer air sampling device at Nanzi and
Siaogang sites in Kaohsiung city. Source apportionment was determined by the factor
analysis.
The results showed that the highest concentrations of carbonyls was
acetaldehyde (27.83 £gg/m3) at Nanzi, followed by formaldehyde (5.03 £gg/m3). At
Siaogang, the highest concentrations of carbonyls was acetaldehyde (28.91 £gg/m3),
followed by formaldehyde (6.92 £gg/m3). The concentrations of total carbonyls was
higher at Siaogang (57.86 £gg/m3) than those at Nanzi (49.74 £gg/m3) .
The concentrations of total carbonyls at Nanzi were 65.42 £gg/m3 in summer and
25.06 £gg/m3 in winter, and were 85.09 £gg/m3 in summer and 37.12 £gg/m3 in winter at
Siaogang, due to the fact that summer has stronger photochemical activities than in
winter. Additionally, peak rush hours of the traffics, either in the morning or at night,
would result in increased concentration of Carbonyls was higher.

Source apportionment analysis using factor analysis shows that the principle sources at Nanzi were traffic exhausts (motor, diesel, and gasoline vehicle) and stationary sources (industry, restaurant and chemical processes). The main sources at Siaogang were traffic exhausts (motor and gasoline vehicle), stationary sources (industry and restaurant) and secondary photo-chemical reactions.
