    Abstract This work investigates the impact of COVID-19 restrictive measures on the mass concentrations of PM₁ and PM₁₀, and their chemical components (water-soluble ions, organic and elemental carbon, and major and trace metals) at an urban site in the western Mediterranean. The evolution of gaseous pollutants (NOₓ, O₃ and some volatile organic compounds) was also analyzed. The concentrations measured during the lockdown in 2020 were compared to those obtained during the same period over the preceding five years. The average decrease in the levels of NOₓ and traffic-related volatile organic compounds was higher than 50 %, while O₃ concentrations did not exhibit significant variations during the study period. Our results show that temporal variations in PM₁ and PM₁₀ concentrations were strongly affected by the frequency of Saharan dust events. When these episodes were excluded from the analysis period, a 35 % decrease in PM₁ and PM₁₀ levels was observed. Traffic restrictions during the lockdown led to important reductions in the concentrations of elemental carbon and metals derived from road dust (e.g. Ca and Fe) and break wear (e.g. Cu). Regarding secondary inorganic aerosols, nitrate showed the largest reductions as a consequence of the drop in local emissions of NOₓ.

    Abstract The composition of PM₁₀, including molecular markers of biomass burning (levoglucosan, mannosan and galactosan), was determined at a residential site in southeastern Spain during winter and early spring. The average PM₁₀ concentration was 25.0 μg m⁻³, being organic carbon (OC, 6.77 μg m⁻³), NO₃⁻ (2.02 μg m⁻³), SO₄²⁻ (1.36 μg m⁻³) and Ca²⁺ (1.01 μg m⁻³) the main components. Levoglucosan was the dominant anhydrosugar (143 ng m⁻³), accounting for 81% of the total concentration of monosaccharide anhydrides. The average contribution of biomass combustion to OC, estimated from the levoglucosan data, was 23%. This value agreed well with that calculated by Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF, 25%). The PMF model resolved six factors that were assigned to road traffic (28%), secondary aerosols (27%), soil dust (14%), fresh sea salt (13%), aged sea salt (10%) and biomass burning (8%). This model was used to estimate the OC/Levoglucosan and PM₁₀/Levoglucosan emission ratios for the study area.

    Abstract More than 400 PM1 and 400 PM10 daily samples were collected in the urban center of Elche (close to the Spanish Mediterranean coast) from February 2015 to February 2018. Samples were analyzed to determine the concentrations of major and trace components with the aim of evaluating the influence of specific pollution events on the chemical composition of both PM fractions. The concentrations of crustal elements in PM10 significantly increased during Saharan dust outbreaks, particularly titanium, which has been identified as a good tracer of these events in the study area. Sulfate and nitrate levels were also enhanced due to secondary aerosol formation on mineral dust particles. Local pollution episodes had a great impact on submicron nitrate, whose mean concentration was more than four times higher than on non-event days. The chemical mass closure method was used to reconstruct PM1 and PM10 concentrations. Reasonably good correlations between measured and reconstructed concentrations were obtained, except for PM10 samples collected during Saharan dust events. This was due to the underestimation of the dust contribution during these episodes. Moderate differences in the average chemical composition of PM10 were observed between event and non-event days. Regarding PM1, only local pollution episodes had a certain impact on its chemical composition.
