Abstract

Rapid development of port and shipbuilding industry in China has badly affected the ambient air quality of coastal zone due to shipping emissions. A total of 60 ambient air samples were collected from background site of Tuoji Island in Bohai Sea strait. The air samples were analyzed for PM_2.5, organic carbon (OC), element carbon (EC), inorganic elements, and water-soluble ions. The maximum concentration of PM_2.5 was observed during spring (73.6μg·m^-3) compared to winter (39.0μg·m^-3) with mean of 54.6μg·m^-3. Back trajectory air mass analysis together with temporal distribution of vanadium (V) showed that V could be the typical tracer of shipping emissions at Tuoji Island. Furthermore, the ratios of vanadium to nickel (V/Ni), vanadium to lead (V/Pb) and vanadium to zinc (V/Zn) also suggest shipping emissions at Tuoji Island. The annual average primary PM_2.5 estimate of shipping emissions was 0.65μg·m^-3 at Tuoji Island, accounting for 2.94% of the total primary PM_2.5, with a maximum of 3.16% in summer and a minimum of 2.39% in autumn.
