Popis: Ambient concentrations and seasonal variability of water bound to ambient fine particulate matter (PM1-bound water) were investigated at two urban sites, the cities Zabrze and Warsaw (southern and central Poland, respectively), in summer and winter. The types and numbers of PM1 sources differ extremely between the two cities in one season and between the two seasons in one city, therefore the chemical compositions of PM1 differ as well. Water and other main PM1 components (ions of water soluble compounds, organic and elemental carbon) were determined in the PM1 samples and their amounts comparatively analyzed. The large effect of solid fuel (hard coal) burning for residential heating on chemical composition and concentrations of PM1 makes the concentrations of PM1-bound water and their seasonal changes greater in Zabrze than in Warsaw, where PM1 in winter comes mainly from natural gas burning and from road traffic.
