PG - 163198 LID - S0048-9697(23)01817-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163198 [doi] AB - The source apportionment of particulate matter plays an important role in solving the atmospheric particulate pollution. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) is a widely used source apportionment model. At present, high resolution online datasets are increasingly rich, but acquiring accurate and timely source apportionment results is still challenging. Integrating prior knowledge into modelling process is an effective solution and can yield reliable results. This study proposed an improved source apportionment method for the regularization supervised PMF model (RSPMF). This method leveraged actual source profile to guide factor profile for rapidly and automatically identifying source categories and quantifying source contributions. The results showed that the factor profile from RSPMF could be interpreted as seven factors and approach to actual source profile. Average source contributions were also an agreement between RSPMF and EPAPMF, including secondary nitrate (26 %, 27 %), secondary sulfate (23 %, 24 %), coal combustion (18 %, 18 %), vehicle exhaust (15 %, 15 %), biomass burning (10 %, 9 %), dust (5 %, 4 %), industrial emission (3 %, 3 %). The solutions of RSPMF also exhibited good generalizability during different episodes. This study reveals the superiority of supervised model, this model embeds prior knowledge into modelling process to guide model for obtaining more reliable results.
