- Abstract
- Urban air quality, and its variability in space and time, is a critical issue for human exposure and health related
studies. In this work, we investigated the intra-urban distribution of SO2, NOx, NO2, Benzene, Toluene, and Xylenes in
ambient air in one of the world's most polluted cities, Lanzhou, China. Measurements were contemporarily carried out at
forty locations in four seasonal campaigns during the period 2005-2006. Diffusive samplers allowing a sampling period of
one month were used. As a general finding, the selected air pollutant concentrations often exceeded the EU limit values,
and varied significantly with space, time, and proximity to relevant point emission sources. A statistical analysis revealed
that monthly air pollutant concentrations were normally distributed in space. This suggests that the spatial distribution of
urban air pollution was governed by the spatial diffusion of emission sources, at least for its apparent average behaviour.
This result might be relevant to link urban air quality measurements and human exposure assessment. To gain insights
into the properties of the urban air pollution distribution in space, makes the assessment of homogeneous areas of air pollution
in the urban area less critical - and, consequently, allows a proper selection of the sites where to monitor air quality
for health-effects studies. (literal)
