In this work, PM10 samples were collected in a winter and a summer in Christchurch, a New Zealand city having intensive wood and coal burning and a serious air pollution problem in winter. Oxalic, malonic, succinic, maleic, glutaric and adipic acids in the samples were analysed using ion chromatography. It was suggested that solid fuel burning had large influence on the occurrence of these low molecular weight dicarboxylic acids resulting in significantly higher wintertime concentrations of maleic acid, oxalic acid and glutaric or adipic acid. The most pronounced feature observed was that maleic acid was the second most abundant species of the detected DCAs in the winter (with a mean of 74 ng m(-3) and the highest concentration ever reported of 231 ng m(-3)). In contrast, malonic acid experienced a low abundance in both seasons. The observed seasonal patterns and molecular distribution were inconsistent with those in most other urban areas. On an average, the total detected dicarboxylic acids accounted for about 0.5% of PM10 mass with a maximum of 1.4% in the winter. The relative importance of different sources to individual dicarboxylic acids varied with seasons and is discussed in detail. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
