The results shown that the annual mean mass concentration of PM2.5 in urban Tokyo was higher than JEQS （Japanese Environmental Quality Standard） of the MOEJ （Ministry of the Environment Japan） （15 μg/m^3）, and 41.1% of the daily PM2.5 mass concentration exceeded the annual JEQS concentration during observation period. The major components of PM2.5 including SO4^2-, NO3^-, NH4^＋, OC and EC were tightly related to the meteorological conditions, the correlations results shown that the wind speed and relative humidity had significant correlations with major components of PM2.5 than the other meteorological factors. Higher relative humidity, windless and less rainfall conditions were favorable for elimination of PM2.5 concentration. Higher temperature was beneficial to the formation of SO42＂, but higher temperature and stronger sunshine duration were not conducive to the formation of NO3^-.展开更多

Fifteen of the 20 sites studied for major anions and cations recorded a clear SGD signal with freshwater outflow. A total of 278 salinity and major ion measurements were made. Sixteen nearly freshwater SGD（salinity≤1.0） samples were obtained, providing strong and direct evidence for the existence of fresh meteoric groundwater entering the ocean from Taiwan. The total SGD flux is estimated to be 1.07×1010 t/a which is about 14% of the annual river output. The freshwater component of the SGD is3.85×109 t which is about 5.2% of the annual river discharge in Taiwan. The collected SGD has a composition similar to seawater with an addition of Ca, CO3 and HCO3 due to dissolution of calcareous rocks. Some samples with high Cl/（Na＋K） may indicate pollution.展开更多
