The results showed that the average daily PM2.5 concentration (53.16 ± 24.17) Dg/m3 was within the secondary level of the Chinese ambient air quality standard. The combined concentrations of SO42-, NH4+, and NO3- to total measured water-soluble ion concentrations in PM2.5 ranged from 79.40% to 95.18%, indicating that anthropogenic sources were significant.
