| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We observed chemical composition of fine aerosol in Fukuoka City and Fukue Island, and classified them with PM2.5 mass concentration and oxygenated state of organic aerosol. In Fukuoka City, local aerosol was significant under low PM2.5 condition, while long-rage transported aerosol was significant under high PM2.5. Fukuoka City is influenced by both long-range transported and local aerosol. We also conducted atmospheric simulation to estimate contributions of transboundary pollution to PM2.5 concentrations in northern Kyusyu in 2012 and found that foreign emission sources had higher contributions than domestic sources.
Finally, we combined the information on the onset of cardiovascular diseases and air pollutants data obtained from monitoring and simulation to conduct epidemiological studies. We found that exposure to particles and Asian dust increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
