AbstractThe data used in this work are size-segregated aerosols collected from three ambient-source sites with few interferences from nearby activities from fall into winter time in 1992. The analysis of the aerosol species is used to apportion source contributions to the aerosols sampled at Yen-Ping elementary school situated in the Taipei metropolitan area. Concentration ratios of characteristic species to mass of near-source aerosols are selected to represent source features. Source apportionment of water-soluble ions with sea-origin at Yen-Ping site is calculated from the "chlorine loss" process.
