Concen- trations of 23 elements and 14 ions in particulate samples were determined by ICP-AES and IC, re- spectively. Source apportionment results derived from both Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) and Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) models indicate that the major contributors of PM2.5 and PM10 in Beijing are: soil dust, fossil fuel combustion, vehicle exhausts, secondary particulate, biomass burning and some industrial sources. We have identified both regional common sources, such as vehicular emis- sions, particulate of secondary origin and biomass burning, as well as country-specific problems, such as sand storms and soil dust that should be addressed for effective air quality control. airborne particulate matter, source apportionment, receptor model As Beijing will host the 2008 Olympic Games, a series Earlier studies on aerosol characterization in Beijing of measures, such as fuel shift from coal to natural gas, were focused on TSP (total suspended particulate) and moving high-polluting industries out of Beijing, phasing PM10[3 ―6].
