Measurement report: Wintertime aerosol characterization at an urban traffic site in Helsinki Finland
Abstract. Physical and chemical properties of particulate matter and concentrations of trace gases were measured at an urban site in Helsinki, Finland for five-weeks to investigate the effect of wintertime conditions on pollutants. The measurement took place in a street canyon (Traffic Supersite) in January–February 2022. In addition, measurements were conducted in an urban background station (UB Supersite, SMEAR III, located approx. 0.9 km from the Traffic Supersite) and with a mobile laboratory in the adjacent side streets as well as by driving back and forth along the street along the Traffic Supersite. A source apportionment was performed for the SP-AMS measurements to identify organic factors connected to different particulate sources. Particle number concentration time series and the pollution detection algorithm (PDA) were used to compare local pollution level differences between the sites.
During the campaign three different pollution events were observed with increased pollutant concentrations. The increased concentration during these episodes were due to both trapping of local pollutants near the boundary layer and long-range and regional transport of pollutants to Helsinki metropolitan area. The local road vehicle emissions increased the particle number concentrations, especially sub-10 nm particles, and long-range and regional transported aged particles increased the PM mass and particle size.
