Abstract Measurement of fine particulate and gas-phase species during the New Year's fireworks 2005 in Mainz, Germany is investigated. The chemical composition and chemically resolved size distribution of fine aerosol particles are measured at high time resolution with a time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (TOF-AMS). In addition, particle number concentrations and trace gas concentrations are measured using a condensation particle counter (CPC) and a proton transfer reaction mass spectrometer (PTR-MS). The main non-refractory components of the firework aerosol are potassium, sulfate, total organics, and chloride. Increased trace gas mixing ratios of methanol, acetonitrile, acetone and acetaldehyde are observed. It is found that aerosol nitrate and the fireworks as well as the measured aromatic trace gases do not significantly affect ammonium concentrations.
