Dominant Contributions of Secondary Aerosols and Vehicle Emissions to Water-Soluble Inorganic Ions of PM<sub>2.5</sub> in an Urban Site in the Metropolitan Hangzhou, China
Water soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs) are important components in PM<sub>2.5</sub> and could strongly affect the acidity and hygroscopicity of PM<sub>2.5</sub>. In order to achieve the seasonal characteristics and determine the potential sources of WSIIs in PM<sub>2.5<...
