1 Arifa Lodhi and Badar Ghauri Pakistan Space And Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPPARCO), P. O. Box 8402, University Road, Karachi-75270, Pakistan AEROSOL ANALYSIS AND SOURCE APPORTIONMENT IN URBAN AREA, LAHORE PAKISTAN

2 Presentation Overview Air Quality Monitoring Results of four winter studies (1999, 2000, 2001, 2005) Source Apportionment-Application of SO 4 2- /Se Tracer technique, Statistics analysis, Factor analysis Local and distant source identification Future plans

3 Sampling Location Aerosol Samples were collected at Lahore, which is the capital of Punjab and the second largest city in Pakistan with a population of 7 million. Sampling Details Aerosol Sampling (PM2.5) was carried out during last few winters on following Dates: 1. January 1-5 1999 2. December 25-31, 1999 and January 1-8, 2000 3. January 9-11 2001 sampling interval was 5 min. 4. Nov. 21 2005 to Dec. 9, 2005 During winter, northeastern Pakistan is under the influence of a high-pressure system resulting in dry weather and low wind speeds. These conditions are ideal for accumulation of pollutants in the atmosphere. SUPARCO OFFICE WaghaBhati Gate Lhr. Cantt Township

13 Five-min aerosol concentrations of (a) SO 4 -2 (nmoles/m3) and (b) Se (pmoles/m3) at Lahore, Pakistan on January 9, 2001. The inverted solid triangles in (b) represents the detection limit for Se is approx. 20(pmoles/m3). The SO 4 -2 /Se ratios are shown in (c). (L. Husain et al 2004 ) STUDY 3 January 9-11 2001 In January 2001 the sampling interval was 5 min.

14 Sulfate was good correlated with Se and not with any element indicating their common source, most likely coal combustion The SO4/Se ratios vary from ~1800 to 10,000 with a mean of 4070 are in the range typically observed at sites in the US and indicative of substantial contributions to sulfate concentration due to the oxidation of SO 2. The sulphate/Se ratio were suggestive of longe-range transport from several hundred kms Application of Tracer technique

19 The high levels of pollutants especially aerosol sulfate concentration were observed may be due to local sources and extensive coal utilization of coal in Indian power plants. The high levels of pollutants especially aerosol sulfate concentration were observed may be due to local sources and extensive coal utilization of coal in Indian power plants. The high level of BC may be due local activities such as frequent garbage burning, diesel combustion, sugar mill and bick kilin activities around the city.
