摘要
Air pollution studies have often overlooked the contribution from cooking to the particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the ambient environment, despite cooking emissions have been identified as an important source of organic aerosol in most urban areas, known as the cooking-like organic aerosol factor (i.e., COA). In this study, a Long-Time-of-Flight (LToF) soot particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SP-AMS) was deployed to evaluate the impact of cooking emissions on outdoor particle-bound PAHs levels during a summer campaign in 2019 in Xi'an China. Combined with the robust receptor model, cooking emission was found to be the major source of ambient PAHs, on average, accounting for 90% of PAHs, 9 times higher than traffic (10%). The ambient cooking PAH profile was well correlated (r2 of 0.87) with that for frying oil fume, suggesting cooking oil was the major source of PAHs instead of the food being cooked. We further evaluated the health risk associated with the cooking PAHs and estimated the cooking PAH levels in some of the major cities in the world where COA factor has been reported. The results show the particle-bound PAHs from cooking can be an important source of ambient PAHs in most Chinese cities. The findings from this study hold important implications for public health and are informing for policymakers.
