Abstract:

Based on the monitoring data of concentrations of criteria air pollutants in Yinchuan from 2013 to 2019, we analyzed the variation of concentrations of criteria air pollutants in recent years and investigated the relationship among these air pollutants using the method of principal component analysis.The results showed that concentrations of all criteria air pollutants in Yinchuan decrease except for O3 that exhibit an increasing trend.The O3 concentrations observed at urban sites are lower than those observed at suburban background sites, whereas concentrations of other pollutants are relatively higher at urban sites.Both PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations at urban sites exceed the national secondary standard for air quality.Concentrations of all criteria air pollutants are highest in winter and lowest in summer, which is opposite to the seasonal variation of O3 concentration.The diurnal variation of CO, NO2, PM10, and PM2.5 shows a bimodal pattern, while the diurnal variation of O3 and SO2 exhibits a single peak.NO2 concentration has a significant correlation with CO and O3, and the PM10 concentration has a significant correlation with PM2.5 in Yinchuan.The first principal components of air pollutants include NO2, CO, and O3, with the variance contribution rate exceeding 50%.Moreover, the annual mean O3 concentration gradually increases, which indicates that atmospheric photochemical pollution is worsening in recent years.
