Description
The relationship between PM2.5 concentration and typical metal elements around a uranium deposit in eastern China was analyzed. The correlation between PM2.5 concentration and metal content in PM2.5 is generally poor, while the correlation between metal elements is generally good. The analysis shows that PM2.5 concentration and U content show the same trend with seasonal replacement, and Th content has a positive correlation with PM2.5 concentration on the whole. PM2.5 concentration was positively correlated with the content of Pb, Cd and Al. There is no obvious relationship between PM2.5 concentration and Ti content, and other theoretical explanations need to be studied. (author)
