这项研究分析了卷烟燃烧颗粒(CBP)的尺寸分解化学组成。使用单颗粒质谱仪(SPAMS)表征0.2-2.0μm尺寸范围内的CBP。发现CBPs含有多环芳烃(PAHs),有机硝酸酯,乙烯基吡啶,茚,愈创木酚,甲基林丹,和Fe等金属,Cr,Mn,和Cu。新鲜的CBP显示出单模态尺寸分布,其在0.40μm处达到峰值。尺寸范围为0.5-0.1μm的CBPs含有更多的生物质燃烧标记物(K+,K2Cl+,和左旋葡聚糖),硫酸盐,萘,和甲基林丹比CBP在0.2-0.5μm的尺寸范围内。尼古丁有利于在大颗粒(>0.5μm)上吸收。在所有粒子中,57%含有PAHs。重金属Fe,Mn,Cr,和Cu的混合比分别为0.06、0.57、0.26和0.34;尼古丁和愈创木酚的混合比分别为0.26和0.27;乙烯基吡啶,茚,和甲基林丹的混合比分别为0.54、0.55和0.65。解决了四种颗粒类型:香烟燃烧生物质燃烧(CB-BB,50.3%),CB-BB-金属(49.3%),CB-尼古丁(0.3%),和CB老年人(0.1%)。这些结果提高了对CBPs的科学理解,并为吸烟暴露研究提供了有用的参考,这些研究考虑了颗粒相组分的尺寸分辨化学组成和混合状态。这一结果也有利于二手烟暴露的研究。
This study analyzed the size-resolved chemical compositions of cigarette-burning particles (CBPs). CBPs in the size range of 0.2-2.0 μm were characterized using a single particle mass spectrometer (SPAMS). CBPs were found to contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organonitrate, vinylpyridine, indene, guaiacol, methylindane, and metals such as Fe, Cr, Mn, and Cu. Fresh CBPs showed a single modal size distribution which peaked at 0.40 μm. CBPs in the size range of 0.5-0.1 μm contained more biomass burning markers (K+, K2Cl+, and levoglucosan), sulfate, naphthalene, and methylindane than CBPs in the size range of 0.2-0.5 μm. Nicotine is favorable to uptake on large particles (>0.5 μm). Among all particles, 57% contained PAHs. Heavy metals Fe, Mn, Cr, and Cu had mixing ratios of 0.06, 0.57, 0.26, and 0.34 respectively; nicotine and guaiacol had mixing ratios of 0.26 and 0.27; and vinylpyridine, indene, and methylindane had mixing ratios of 0.54, 0.55, and 0.65 respectively. Four particle types were resolved: cigarette-burning biomass burning (CB-BB, 50.3%), CB-BB-Metals (49.3%), CB-Nicotine (0.3%), and CB-Aged (0.1%). These results improve the scientific understanding of CBPs and provide useful references for smoking exposure studies that consider the size-resolved chemical compositions and mixing states of particle-phase components. The result can also benefit the study of exposure to secondhand smoking.
