  abstract = {{W}e present a 3-year time series of lead ({P}b) and mercury ({H}g) concentrations and isotope signatures in total suspended particulate ({TSP}) matter, and as total gaseous {H}g ({TGM}) in)(fan, {N}orthwestern {C}hina. {M}ean concentrations of {TSP} (299 +/- 120 mu g m(-3)), {P}b-{TSP} (0.33 +/- 0.15 mu g m(-3)) and: {H}g-{T}sp. (0.64 +/- 0.54 ng m(-3)), and {TGM} (5.7 +/- 2.7 ng m(-3)) were elevated. {W}e find that atmospheric {P}b levels in winter in {X}i'an have decreased by 4.6% per year since 2003, yet remain elevated relative to air quality guidelines and therefore a major health concern. delta {H}g-202({T}sp) and {D}elta {H}g-199({T}sp) averaged -0.80 +/- 0.30 parts per thousand (1 sigma) and -0.02 +/- 0.10 parts per thousand (1 sigma) and delta {H}g-202({TGM}) and {D}elta {H}g-199({TGM}) averaged -0.08 +/- 0.41 parts per thousand (10) and 0.00 +/- 0.04 parts per thousand (1 sigma). {R}elative to raw coal from {S}haanxi and surrounding provinces, delta {H}g-202({TSP}) is enriched in the light {H}g isotopes, whereas delta {H}g-202({TGM}) is enriched in the heavy isotopes. {TSP} and {TGM} {D}elta {H}g-199 signatures are indistinguishable from raw coal, indicating little photochemical mass independent fractionation of atmospheric {H}g in the near-field urban-industrial environment. delta {H}g-202({TGM}) correlates significantly with {TGM} levels (r(2) = 0.3, p < 0.01) and likely reflects binary mixing of local industrial {TGM} emissions with global background {TGM}.},
