Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was measured at an urban site in Beijing from April 2013 to April 2016 and examined its characteristics and particle/gas distributions. The average monthly atmospheric TFA concentration fluctuated significantly and presented marked seasonal variations. The concentration levels of gas-phase TFA were significantly higher in spring and summer than in fall and winter. The PM mass concentration and ambient temperature were important factors affecting the concentration of particulate-phase TFA. Hence, at higher PM concentrations and lower temperatures, atmospheric TFA tended to be enriched in particulate matter. Our findings suggest that the percentage of gas-phase TFA in Beijing is higher than that in the steady state; thus, gas-phase TFA can still be transformed to the particulate phase and increase the contribution of TFA to haze formation.
三氟乙酸(TFA)于 2013 年 4 月至 2016 年 4 月在北京的一个城区站点进行了测量,并对其特征和颗粒/气体分布进行了考察。大气 TFA 的平均月浓度波动较大,呈现出明显的季节性变化。气态 TFA 的浓度水平在春季和夏季明显高于秋季和冬季。PM 质量浓度和环境温度是影响颗粒相 TFA 浓度的重要因素。因此,在较高的 PM 浓度和较低的温度下,大气 TFA 更倾向于富集在颗粒物中。我们的研究结果表明,北京地区气相 TFA 的比例高于稳定态,因此气相 TFA 仍可向颗粒相转化,增加 TFA 对霾形成的贡献。
