A new technique was developed to measure volatile and semi-volatile PAEs in urban aerosols, revealing a strong correlation between PAEs and PM2.5 concentrations.
Phthalate esters (PAEs) as hazardous air pollutants can be easily released during the life cycle of plastic products. In this study, a thermal desorption aerosol comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography mass spectrometer coupled with a dual-trap was developed and used to measure the hourly-resolved PAEs characteristics in atmospheric PM2.5 at an urban site. Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl (DEP), dibutyl (DnBP), benzyl butyl (BBP), di(2-ethylhexyl) (DEHP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP) in PM2.5 were analyzed. 'I'he most abundant compounds were DEHP and DMP, followed by DnBP and DEP. The mass concentrations of the detected PAEs are comparable to those at other urban sites measured using offline methods with a lower time resolution. The concentrations of PAEs showed intense change with the variation of PM2.5 mass concentration. The proportion of DEHP increased while that of DMP decreased with the increase in PM2.5 pollution. Positive correlations between PAFs and PM2.5, organic carbon, and elemental carbon were observed, while PAFs had negative correlation with the ambient temperature. Our observation provides evidences on understanding the volatile and semi-volatile PAFs in the ambient aerosols.
