To identify pollutant origins and their potential sources from either long-range transported (LRT) or local emissions, the Boron (B) concentrations and the B isotopic compositions (δ 11 B) in the water-soluble fraction of aerosols were determined. These aerosols were collected from an islet offshore in northeastern Taiwan, Peng Chia Yu (PCY), a non-residential islet, from January 1998 to March 2000. This islet may be influenced by various pollutants or chemical transport during monsoon periods, but suffers minimal human perturbation locally. The B in the specimens falls to 0.3–1.63 ng m −3  during the SW monsoon seasons when compared to 0.46–2.56 ng m −3  in the NE monsoon. However, the δ 11 B results show no clear variations in both monsoon seasons (10.7–24.3‰), regardless of differences in air mass origin. A two end-member mixing scenario is proposed to explain our observations using the obtained δ 11 B and 1/[B] results. The ocean endmember is characterized by high 1/[B] and high δ 11 B; while other endmember is from continental endmember or anthropogenic contributions that are characterized by of 1/[B] and lowδ 11 B (δ 11 B &amp;lt; 10‰). Based on these chemical and isotopic results, we found aerosol emissions in northern Taiwan are characterized as low B with nearly constant δ 11 B, when compared with long-range transported continental endmembers derived from nearby regions. This study provides preliminary B and δ 11 B levels in aerosols derived from LRT/local emissions and discusses potential monsoonal effects on aerosols offshore of NE Taiwan.
