Abstract: Using the atmospheric particulate matter concentration and meteorological data in Yinchuan from 2013 to 2014,the distribution characteristics of atmospheric particulate matter concentration and their relationships with meteorological conditions were analyzed.The results show that the mean annual concentrations of PM10,PM2.5 and PM1 are 167.3 μg·m-3,67.2 μg·m-3 and 45.0 μg·m-3,and the mean annual values of PM2.5/PM10,PM1/PM10 and PM1/PM2.5 are 45.0%,32.0% and 65.0%,respectively.The maximum concentration of PM10 occurs in March,and the minimum one in August.The maximum concentrations of PM2.5 and PM1 occur in January,and the minimum ones of PM2.5 and PM1 occur in August and May,respectively.From March to May,the lowest values of PM2.5/PM10,PM1/PM10 and PM1/PM2.5 occur in a year.For different weather conditions,the order of PM10 concentration from high to low is raising-sand/floating-dust,average of typical weathers,haze,fine day and fog.The situation for PM2.5 is raising-sand/floating-dust,haze,average of typical weathers,fine day and fog.The case for PM1 is haze,average of typical weathers,fine day,raising-sand/floating-dust.There is a positive correlation between wind speed and PM10 concentration,and negative correlations of wind speed with PM2.5 and PM1 concentrations.When the wind direction is north-west,the concentration of PM10 is higher.When it is south-west and north-east,the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM1 are higher.There are significant negative correlations of air temperature with the concentrations of PM10,PM2.5 and PM1.Relative humidity has a significant negative correlation with PM10 concentration,and a strong positive correlation with PM1 concentration,while a weak correlation with PM2.5 concentration.The influence of air pressure on the PM10 concentration is small,while there are positive correlations of it with the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM1.The cleaning effect of precipitation on PM10 is the strongest,followed in PM2.5,and it basically has no impact on PM1.
