Abstract:

Based on the O3 monitoring data and meteorological data in the central area of Dalian from 2013 to 2018, the temporal and spatial characteristics of O3 pollution in this area and its responses to the meteorological influencing factors were analyzed.The results indicated that O3 has gradually become one of the most important air pollutants in the central city of Dalian during the past 6 years, and its annual average concentration rises from 66.66 μg·m-3 in 2013 to 101.62 μg·m-3 in 2018.In terms of temporal changes, the concentration of O3 is higher in autumn and summer than in winter and spring and is highest in May, June, and September.In addition, the O3 concentration begins to rise at 08:00.and maintains a peak during 14:00-16:00, showing an obvious single peak shape on a daily time scale and is higher in the daytime than in nighttime.In terms of spatial distribution, O3 pollutants spread from the southwest to the northeast from 2013 to 2017.Moreover, O3 in the study area has a negative correlation with the other 5 air pollutants to different degrees and is significantly and positively correlated with temperature and slightly correlated with relative humidity, air pressure, and wind speed.The optimal meteorological conditions for O3 pollution are mainly air temperature above 30 ℃, relative humidity below 80 %, wind speed between 1.5 to 2.0 m·s-1, north wind direction, and long sunshine duration.High pollution days are probably induced by high temperatures and increasing local emissions.
