Abstract

PM2.5 and PM0.1 contain substantial amounts of carbonaceous compounds that play important roles in air quality, human health, and atmospheric radiative balance. However, information on the carbonaceous characteristics of PM0.1 in Vietnam remains limited. This study investigated the carbonaceous characteristics and source implications of PM2.5 and PM0.1 collected at an urban site in Hanoi, Vietnam. PM2.5 and PM0.1 samples were collected simultaneously using a Cyclone sampler and a NanoSampler, respectively. Thermal carbon fractions (OC1–OC4, PyOC, and EC1–EC3) were determined using the thermal–optical reflectance (TOR) method following the IMPROVE_A protocol. Based on these fractions, OC, EC, TC, char-EC, soot-EC, and the OC/EC and char-EC/soot-EC ratios were calculated to characterize the carbonaceous composition and provide insights into potential emission sources.

The results showed that OC was the dominant carbonaceous component in both PM2.5 and PM0.1. Compared with PM2.5, PM0.1 exhibited a higher carbon-to-particle mass ratio, indicating the carbon-enriched nature of ultrafine particles. Among the thermal carbon fractions, OC2, OC3, and EC1 contributed substantially to the total carbon in both particle fractions. The OC/EC and char-EC/soot-EC ratios, together with the distribution patterns of thermal carbon fractions, suggested the combined influences of traffic emissions, biomass burning, and secondary organic carbon formation. These findings provide valuable data on the carbonaceous composition of particulate matter in Hanoi and contribute to future studies on emission sources and urban air quality management.
