A new receptor model based on the alternating trilinear decomposition followed by a score matrix reconstruction (ATLD-SMR) was developed for the source apportionment of urban PM10 for the first time. First, simulated three-way data arrays of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to verify the feasibility of the ATLD-SMR method. Then, PM10 samples (receptor) at five locations and TSP samples of ten pollution sources were collected during July and August, 2018 in Loudi City, China. The collected samples were measured by GC-MS. PAHs were used as tracers and their concentrations w...
