Effect of Pollution Level on Size Distributions and Mixing State of Ambient Black Carbon Particles in an Urban Area during Wintertime by Kangning Li, XiaoFei Wang, Xiaohui Lu, Hong Chen, Xin Yang

“…The BC particles existed in two size modes: the condensation mode, which mainly consisted of fresh traffic-emitted particles, and the droplet mode, which encompassed heavily aged traffic-emitted particles, biomass burning particles and heavy-duty diesel engine emission particles. Whereas the heavily aged traffic-emitted particles exhibited relatively small BC cores (60–80 nm in diameter) surrounded by a thick coating (100–160 nm), the biomass burning particles displayed slightly larger cores (80–130 nm) covered by an even thicker layer (160–300 nm). …”
