Mass Size Distribution of Atmospheric Aerosols and Water Soluble Ions atMlada Boleslav in Winter
Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Vodička, Petr ; Hovorka, J. ; Moravec, Pavel ; Ždímal, Vladimír
The importance of the knowledge of aerosol mass size distribution for understanding aerosol behavior is well known for at least few decades. The water soluble ions represent a driving factor controlling hygroscopicity of aerosol particles that determines how the ambient relative humidity influences aerosol particle size. Therefore, hygroscopicity is a substantial parameter in phenomena like particle deposition in the human respiratory tract, particle – cloud interactions, aerosol optical effects etc. For these reasons, the mass size distribution of atmospheric aerosols and water soluble ions was studied at a Czech medium-size-town Mladá Boleslav in winter.

Air Mass Back Trajectories and Dry Atmospheric Aerosol Mass Size Distributions in Prague
Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Štefancová, Lucia ; Maenhaut, W. ; Smolík, Jiří ; Ždímal, Vladimír
Ambient aerosol size distribution is an important factor influencing aerosol behavior and properties including particle deposition in lungs and aerosol influence on clouds. Both influences are also driven by aerosol hygroscopicity. Cascade impactors used for size resolved determination of chemical composition suffer from changes of ambient RH during sampling. Due to this factor the same particle might be deposited at different impactor stage when it is sampled at noon at 40% RH or in the early morning at 99% RH. Therefore, we used a diffusional aerosol dryer and a 7-stage modified Berner low pressure impactor with a back-up filter during the heating campaigns in 2008. The samples were analyzed for water-soluble ions (Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+) and water-soluble organic carbon as a main species that influence aerosol hygroscopicity. Due to the drying, the aerosol size distributions were not influenced by the daily variability of ambient relative humidity.

Mass Size Distribution of Water Soluble Ions in Prague and Wiena in Summer
Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Vodička, Petr ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Hitzenberger, R.
Aerosol mass size distribution is a key factor that influences aerosol behavior both on local (health effects, visibility) and global (global warming) level. The content of water soluble ions is the most important factor controlling hygroscopic behavior of aerosol particles. Hygroscopicity is a substantial parameter for particle deposition in lungs, particle – cloud interactions, aerosol optical effects etc. Therefore we studied size distribution of water soluble ions in two Central European capitals – Prague and Vienna. In this work, the results from summer campaigns are presented.
