摘　　要：The increasing emission of primary and gaseous precursors of secondarily formed atmospheric particulate matter due to continuing industrial development and urbanization are leading to an increased public awareness of environmental issues and human health risks in China. As part of a pilot study, 12-h integrated fine fraction particulate matter （PM2.5） filter samples were collected to chemically characterize and investigate the sources of ambient particulate matter in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, southwestern China. Results showed that the 12-h integrated PM2.5 concentrations exhibited a daytime average of 51 ± 22 μg m^-3 （mean -4- standard deviation） with a range of 17-128 μg m^-3 and a nighttime average of 55 ± 32 μg m^-3 with a range of 4-186 μg m^-3. The 24-h integrated PM2.5 concentrations varied from 15 to 157 μg m^-3, with amean value of 53 ± 25 μg m^-3, which exceeded the 24-h PM2.5 standard of 35μg m^-3 set by USEPA, but was below the standard of 75 μg m^-3, set by China Ministry of Environmental Protection. Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry （XRF） was applied to determine PM2.5 chemical element concentrations. The order of concentrations of heavy metals in PM2.5 were iron （Fe） 〉 zinc （Zn） 〉 manganese （Mn） 〉 lead （Pb） 〉 arsenic （As）〉 chromium （Cr）. The total concentration of 18 chemical elements was 13 ± 2 μg m^-3, accounting for 25% in PM2.5, which is comparable to other major cities in China, but much higher than cities outside of China.The increasing emission of primary and gaseous precursors of secondarily formed atmospheric particulate matter due to continuing industrial development and urbanization are leading to an increased public awareness of environmental issues and human health risks in China.As part of a pilot study, 12-h integrated fine fraction particulate matter(PM_(2.5) filter samples were collected to chemically characterize and investigate the sources of ambient particulate matter in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, southwestern China. Results showed that the 12-h integrated PM_(2.5) concentrations exhibited a daytime average of 51 ± 22 lg m^(-3)(mean ± standard deviation) with a range of 17–128 lg m^(-3) and a nighttime average of55 ± 32 lg m~(^(-3)) with a range of 4–186 lg m^(-3). The 24-h integrated PM_(2.5) concentrations varied from 15 to157 lg m~(^(-3)), with a mean value of 53 ± 25 lg m^(-3), which exceeded the 24-h PM_(2.5) standard of 35 lg m^(-3) set by USEPA, but was below the standard of 75 lg m^(-3), set by China Ministry of Environmental Protection. Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry(XRF) was applied to determine PM_(2.5) chemical element concentrations. The order of concentrations of heavy metals in PM_(2.5) were iron(Fe) [ zinc(Zn) [ manganese(Mn) [ lead(Pb) [ arsenic(As) [ chromium(Cr). The total concentration of 18 chemical elements was 13 ± 2 lg m^(-3),accounting for 25% in PM_(2.5), which is comparable to other major cities in China, but much higher than cities outside of China.
