  • Preliminary remarks:

    All pollution sources release into the environment a number of characteristic chemicals (individual substances and mixtures)

    Emissions persist in the environment enough long time to accumulate and to be transferred, transported or spread

    Emissions can be characterized according to physical and chemical features derived from sources

    qualitative

    quantitative

    yes/no

    what source(s)

    in what proportions

    Inferences are:

  • When the emission profile of sources is well known, thevariations in the pattern of chemicals relased allow todraw information about contour conditions (namely, theenvironmental compartment).

    For instance, the oxidizing capacity of atmosphere can beindexed through the distinct decomposition rates ofindividual substances there occurring and the relatedchanges in the molecular signature.

  • Particulates (i.e., solid state matters accumulated in grains ranging1 nm – 1 mm in diameter) affect all compartments of environment:

    atmosphere

    surface waters

    soils

    surfaces

    living organisms

    dispersions

    depositions

    dispersions

    depositions

  • Dusts occur in waters owing to natural phenomena (scrub,wash out, etching, rain out, precipitation)and anthropogenic emissions (industrial,agricultural and urban wastes, boats)

    Chemical composition of water dustsis regulated by accumulation/dilutionof low-soluble species, solubilization,redox processes, mechanical removal

  • Particulate (SPM) is released into the atmosphere by naturalaccidents (eruptions, fires, etching, rains; winds; sea spray),humans (vehicles; industrial, agricultural and urban wastes;heating and power plants), and biota

    Looking to size, shape and chemicalfeatures, SPM looks different fromsettled dust

    Inquinamento da mercurio: aria, acqua, suolo, alimenti

    SPM is also generated by gaseouspollutants degradation

  • Secondary aerosol occurs in two major forms different withregards to origin and nature:

    «Acidic smog», associated to SO2 oxidationto H2SO4. H2SO4 aggregates C particles andoxidize organic species to elemental C.

    «Photochemical smog» coming from gaseoushydrocarbon decomposition induced by OH,NO3, O3, NO2.

  • Full chemical characterization of dusts (mass balance or closure)is limited to macro-components (elemental and organic carbon,sea spray, crustal matter, nitrates, sulphates, metal oxides andsalts)

    Though extensive, chemical investigations of dusts deal witha few groups and tens of chemicals.Mass closure is unrealistic; nevertheless, it does not belongto purposes of researches.

  • Particulate organic matter (POM) is comprised of thousandsof substances displaying wide variety of

    relative concentration

    acidity

    polarity

    hydrophylic/hydrophobic ability

    vapour pressure

    short/long-term toxicity

  • Usually no peculiar chemicals occur in the emissions,

    however «typical» organic mixtures characterize the sources

    Distribution patterns are identified within groups and withregard to gross POM composition (e.g., polarity and watersolubility fractions), which provide insights about sourcesand/or contour conditions of the release

  • Distribution patterns of organic substances in the particulate emissions (1)

    To assess the organic emission sources, three cathegories oftracers are adopted, i.e.:

    important/predominant occurrence of an individual/a handful of component(s)

    concentration ratios between pairsof components (diagnostic ratios)

    molecular fingerprints of group homologuesor congeners (percentage distribution)

  • Non-polar fraction (normal and branched alkanes, alkenes, alicyclics)

    n-Alkanes

    Among them three main cathegories can be recognized:

  • Conclusions

    The source assessment of ambient toxicants is gainingimportance and reliability thanks to two main factors:

    the characterization of environments(overall interiors) with regards to ECs

    the approach of chemometrics
