Abstract:

Based on the air quality monitoring data in Heyuan from 2017 to 2019, the interannual variation of primary air pollutants was analyzed in this study.The correlation analysis between the concentrations of primary air pollutants and meteorological conditions was conducted using the data at the Dongpu national observational station in 2019, and the impact of the meteorological conditions on typical air pollution events was also explored.The results showed that the proportion of polluted days with fine particle matter (PM2.5) as the primary air pollutant decreases significantly, and the polluted days with ozone (O3) as the primary air pollutant increase, which means the particulate matter pollution gradually transfers to ozone pollution in Heyuan.O3 concentrations are positively correlated with temperature and negatively correlated with humidity.High concentrations of O3 mainly concentrate within the thresholds (20-30℃, 25%-55%), and also occur under north-northwesterly winds.PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations are negatively correlated with humidity and tend to have high values when temperature and humidity are within the ranges of 8-13℃ and 40%-50%, respectively.In summer, PM2.5 and PM10 show a strong positive correlation with temperature, which means the combined PM and ozone pollution is possible to occur under high-temperature conditions in Heyuan.The typical pollution days in Heyuan are characterized by weak winds and unfavorable local dispersion conditions.PM pollution tends to occur under low temperature and low humidity conditions and is mainly affected by regional transport.O3 pollution tends to occur under high temperature and low humidity conditions and can be exacerbated in the presence of high precursor concentrations.
