In this study, we analyzed 2 years (2011-2013) of measurements of submicron particles (6-800 nm) at a suburban site in the western Yangtze River Delta (YRD) of eastern China. The number concentrations (NCs) of particles in the nucleation, Aitken and accumulation modes were 5300 +/- 5500, 8000 +/- 4400, 5800 +/- 3200 cm(-3), respectively. The NCs of total particles are comparable to those at urban/suburban s...
