英文摘要 | Nitrogen oxide (NOx) abatement has become the focus of air quality management strategies. In this study, we examined NOx sources and the atmospheric conversion of NOx in Karachi, Pakistan, a megacity in South Asia with serious particulate pollution problems. Oceanic contributions to NOx were quantified for the first time based on a novel approach using nitrogen/oxygen isotopic analysis in nitrate (delta N-15-NO3-; delta O-18-NO3-) and a Bayesian model. Our results showed that delta N-15-NO3- in Karachi varied between -10.2 parts per thousand and +12.4 parts per thousand. As indicated by the delta O-18-NO3- findings (+66.2 +/- 7.8 parts per thousand), the center dot OH pathway dominated NOx conversion throughout the nearly two-year observation, but high NO3- events were attributed to the O-3 pathway. Coal combustion was the most significant source (32.0 +/- 9.8%) of NOx in Karachi, with higher contributions in the autumn and winter; a similar situation occurred for biomass burning + lightning (30.3 +/- 6.5%). However, mobile sources (25.2 +/- 6.4%) and microbial processes (12.5 +/- 7.5%) exhibited opposite seasonal trends. The oceanic contributions to NOx in Karachi were estimated to be 16.8%, of which lightning, shipping emissions, and microbial processes accounted for 20.3%, 46.3%, and 33.4%, respectively, emphasizing the dominance of shipping emissions as an oceanic NOx source. |
