Abstract

This dataset contains both the concentration of PM2.5 in ambient air sampled at a height of 8 metres and the concentration of elements found in the PM2.5 samples resulting from X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (XRF) analysis. The PM2.5 samples were collected in the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China in August 2018 and January 2019.

The data was collected to support the study of atmospheric chemistry and processes involving Silicon (Si) containing fine particles, which potentially contribute to atmospheric pollution.

These data were collected as part of the Silicon-containing secondary organic aerosols in ambient air (Si-SOA) Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) funded project.
