- Abstract
The results of simultaneous investigations of atmospheric aerosol in two large megalopolises-Moscow and Beijing-are presented. The purpose of these investigations was to compare parameters and reveal common characteristics of urban aerosols. Aerosol parameters were measured in the megalopolises simultaneously from October 23, 2007, through November 2, 2007. The mass concentrations of aerosols were measured continuously with a nephelometer (Mosscow) and discretely with the use of aspiration samplers according to the weight method (Moscow, Beijing). The number concentration and the particle size distribution function were determined with analyzers of the size spectrum in the interval 0.15-15.0 μm and were measured synchronously with sampling for elementary analysis. The elementary compositions of samples were determined by mass spectrometry, which made it possible to identify 60 chemical elements.
