Gas and particle phase samples were collected at three sites in China, revealing variations in concentrations of different types of pesticides across regions and seasons, potentially influenced by local climates and crop cultivation patterns. The partitioning of pesticides between gas and particle phases was primarily determined by their physicochemical properties and ambient temperature.
Gas and particle phases samples were collected at three sites in China in 2019-2020, with 60 degrees C temperature span and 30 degrees latitude range. Totally, among 76 target current used pesticides (CUPs) with four types, 51 were quantified in at least one sample. The concentrations of individual CUPs ranged from 8 orders of magnitude, indicating different pollution levels. Herbicides were the dominated CUPs in Northeast China, while higher concentrations of fungicides were found in Southeast China. The highest concentrations of CUPs were observed in Southeast China in spring and winter, while in summer and autumn in Northeast China, caused by local climates and crop cultivation patterns. The gas/particle (G/P) partitioning of CUPs was mainly influenced by their physicochemical properties and ambient temperature. The G/P partitioning study indicated that the L-M-Y model was the optimum prediction model for herbicides, fungicides and pyrethroids. The L-M-Y model and the H-B model presented equal performance for organophosphate insecticides. To our knowledge, the L-M-Y model was firstly applied for the study of the G/P partitioning of CUPs, which provided new insights into the related fields of new emergency contaminates.
