Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) are the primary air pollutants that degrade air quality in China. Reducing precursor emissions reasonably, volatile organic compound (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), are the keys to achieving effective improvement of air quality. To better tackle this challenge, we revealed the nonlinear response of PM2.5 and O3 concentrations to precursor reduction from various sources in Shandong, China using the Weather Research and Forecasting-Comprehensive Air Quality Model Extensions (WRF-CAMx) models and Empirical Kinetics Modeling Approach (EKMA). VOC reductions from all sources presented a positive effect in reducing PM2.5 and O3 concentrations in four seasons, while both levels showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing as the proportion of NOx reduction increased, except in summer. Focusing on VOC emissions reduction first is critical for reducing PM2.5 concentrations and the long-term improvement in PM2.5 requires strengthening the deep emission reduction of NOx. The reduction ratios of VOC and NOx emissions from all sources with 3:1 in spring and autumn, and 1:2 in summer were more conducive to reducing O3 concentrations. The reasonable emission reduction ratios of VOCs and NOx from industry, power, transportation, and residential sources were also evaluated. For example, the reduction ratios of VOC and NOx emissions with 2:1 from industry and residential, and 1:2 from power and transportation are beneficial for decreasing PM2.5 concentrations. This study offers valuable insights for formulating rational and effective PM2.5 and O3 control strategies.
Ozone (O3) is the primary air pollutant that degrades air quality in China. However, the combined effects of pollution levels and durations on O3 characteristics, as well as sensitivity variations between months within a season, remain unclear. To address this, we analyzed the spatio-temporal distribution, sensitivity regimes, and sources of O3 pollution in southeastern Shandong Province in 2019-2022. The random forest model indicated that meteorological condition was the dominant factor leading to the variation of O3 concentration decreasing in 2019-2021 but rebounding in 2022. The O3 concentrations increased with the duration of pollution and the concentration of O3 pollution lasting for >= 3 days exhibited a year-on-year increasing trend. The O3 concentrations under the same pollution level have not changed much from 2019 to 2022, while the number of days with mild O3 pollution fluctuated in 2019-2022 influenced by temperature, humidity, and anthropogenic emissions. O3 generation sensitivity exhibits strong monthly variations and spatial distribution, which requires strengthening volatile organic compound emission control during March and April, and NOx emission control in July. The results of O3 sources indicated that trajectories originating from the southeast of Ju County exerted influences on O3 concentration. With the increase in O3 pollution duration, the dominant potential source regions continued to expand. The dominant potential source regions during moderate pollution were larger and more focused than those during mild pollution, mainly in Jiangsu Province. Our findings provide a reference for the precise control of O3 pollution.
Despite significant progress in air quality improvement, heavy fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution events persist in China. The pollution characteristics of PM2.5 vary during different pollution levels, highlighting the necessity for a deeper understanding of its underlying driving factors and regional transport. This study systematically investigated the compositional characteristics, drivers, and regional transport of PM2.5 in Linyi by integrating multi-data fusion analysis, positive matrix factorization-machine learning-shapley additive explanation (PMF-ML-SHAP), and concentration weighted trajectory model. The results revealed that heterogeneous reactions dominated SO42 - formation during polluted periods, while homogeneous reactions drove NO3- formation. In constructing the integrated PMF-ML-SHAP framework, RandomizedSearchCV and KFold techniques significantly enhanced CatBoost model performance. The contribution of local sources increased progressively from 85.6 % to 91.4 % with rising PM2.5 levels, with secondary nitrate formation emerging as the dominant driver of PM2.5 pollution. The influence share of biomass combustion was higher during clean (CP, 20.4 %) and slightly polluted periods (SPP, 17.3 %), while that of firework combustion was higher during heavily polluted periods (HPP, 25.9 %). Among meteorological factors, wind speed and ultraviolet radiation intensity played critical roles in PM2.5 dispersion and secondary aerosol formation. Regional transport analysis indicated that short-range and medium-range transport air masses primarily influenced CP and SPP, whereas local transport air masses dominated during moderately polluted periods (MPP, 54.4 %) and HPP (58.2 %). This study provides new insights into the drivers of PM2.5 pollution during different pollution levels, offering a scientific basis for targeted pollution control strategies in Linyi and similar industrial cities.
China has successively put forward ultra-low emission (ULE) transformation plans to reduce the air pollutant emissions of industrial pollutants since 2014. To assess the benefits of the ULE policy on regional air quality for Qinhuangdao, this study developed an emission inventory of nine atmospheric pollutants in 2016 and evaluated the effectiveness of the emission policy in Qinhuangdao's key industries under different scenarios with an air quality model (CALPUFF). The emissions of air pollutants in 2016 were as follows: Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emitted 48.91 kt/year, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitted 86.83 kt/year, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted 52.69 kt/year, particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) emitted 302.01 and 116.85 kt/year, carbon monoxide (CO) emitted 1208.80 kt/year, ammonia (NH3) emitted 62.87 kt/year, black carbon (BC) emitted 3.79 kt/year, and organic carbon (OC) emitted 2.72 kt/year, respectively. The results showed that at the regional level in 2025, the iron and steel industry under the PPC (Peak Production Capacity) scenario had the highest potential for reducing SO2 and NOx emissions, while the cement industry under the PPC scenario excelled in reducing PM10 emissions. As for the industrial level in 2025, the flat glass industry under the ULE scenario would reduce the most SO2 emitted, while the iron and steel industry and the cement industry under the PPC scenario demonstrated the best reduction in NOx and PM10 emissions, respectively. Furthermore, the average annual contribution concentration of SO2, NOx, and PM10 in the air monitoring stations of Qinhuangdao under the PPC scenario was significantly lower than that under the BAU scenario revealed by air quality simulation. It can be concluded that the emission policy in Qinhuangdao will help improve the air quality. This study can provide scientific support for policymakers to implement the ULE policy in industrial undeveloped cities and tourist cities such as Qinhuangdao in the future.
Accurate meteorological fields and applicable air quality models are important ways to optimize air pollution simulations. To improve the accuracy of winter air pollution models in the Sichuan basin, we conducted a meteorological field simulation using 25 sets of parameterized scheme combinations in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. Based on the optimal parameters, the air pollution levels were simulated using AERMOD and CALPUFF models in a local large steel plant, and the data were verified by comparing the data from four National Ambient Air Monitoring Stations (NAAMS). The results indicated that the WRF model parameters had substantial effects on the simulation of the ground wind field, high-altitude wind field, and ground humidity field. In contrast, the parameters had no significant effect on the simulation of the ground temperature field, high-altitude temperature field, and high-altitude humidity field. The combination of the SLAB land surface process scheme and Dudhia shortwave radiation scheme with four boundary layer schemes, namely YSU, ACM2, BouLac, and MRF, could well-simulate the trends of winter surface wind, temperature, and humidity fields in Sichuan basin. The simulation results were analyzed by combining the statistical parameters of high-altitude wind, temperature, and humidity. The group 1 parameter scheme was applicable to simulate the meteorological field of Dazhou. Group 13 and Group 17 parameters were applicable to simulate the meteorological fields in Chengdu during the day and night, respectively. The correlation between CALPUFF simulation and monitoring value was better than that for AERMOD. CALPUFF was more accurate than AERMOD when referring to the monitoring data from NAAMS No.3. In addition, the simulation quality of CALPUFF was slightly better than that of AERMOD with reference to data from NAAMS No.2. Using air pollutant monitoring data from NAAMS as a reference, the simulated results of CALPUFF on NOx and PM10 were improved compared to AERMOD at all four stations. Data from the Q-Q diagram indicated that the simulated results of CALPUFF on SO2, NOx, and PM10 were closer to the monitored values compared to those of AERMOD.
The structural characteristics of coal at the molecular level are important for its efficient use. Bituminous coal from the Baozigou Coal Mine is investigated, using elemental analysis, C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared. The molecular structure was determined. The aromatic compounds of bituminous coal molecules are primarily two- and three-ring structures, and the aliphatic structures are primarily in the form of methyl, ethyl side chains, and naphthenic hydrocarbons. The ratio of aromatic bridge carbon to peripheral carbon in the molecular structure is 0.279. Oxygen atoms in the form of carbonyl, phenolic hydroxyl and C-O, and nitrogen atoms in pyrroles. Thus, the average structure model of bituminous coal macro-molecules was constructed; the molecular formula was C169H128O10N2S, and the molecular weight was 2378. The aromatic structural units in the macromolecular structure of coal include four naphthalenes, three anthracenes, two tetracenes, and heteroatoms in the form of three carbonyl groups, one phenolic hydroxyl group, one pyrrole, and one pyridine. The structure optimization and annealing kinetic simulation of a single macromolecular structure model were performed. Chemical bonds such as bridge bonds and aliphatic bonds were found to be twisted, and pi-pi interactions between the aromatic sheets in the molecule produced adjacent aromatic sheets. This arrangement tends to be approximately parallel, and the total energy decreases from 6713.401 to 2667.595 kJ/mol, among which the bond stretching energy and van der Waals energy dominate. We used 20 bituminous coal macromolecular models to construct aggregated structural models. After optimization by molecular dynamics simulation, the macromolecules were constrained by the surrounding molecules, and the sheet-like aromatic carbon structures that were originally approximately parallel were distorted. The macromolecular structure model of bituminous coal constructed in this study provides a theoretical model basis for the optimal surfactant.
Source apportionment offers an efficient way to identify emission sources and the contributions to air pollution. It helps to deepen our understanding of the air pollution formation process and develop productive environmental policies. Accurate PM2.5 source apportionment is more essential for small-scale local air pollution control. An integrated source apportionment approach was built by combining chemical mass balance (CMB) model and the Community Multiscale Air Quality modelling system (CMAQ) model to complement individual model and apportion PM2.5 pollution into more elaborate emission sources categories. The CMAQ source apportionment results of corresponding PM2.5 precursors were applied to assign secondary components while that of PM2.5 were applied to assign non-local sources as the basic constrains. An island city with typical secondary components in PM2.5 pollution was chosen. The results showed the dominant source impacts of non-local sources ranged from 31.07% in summer to 49.60% in winter. Compared to individual model, the integrated source apportionment approach preserved the accuracy of CMB modelling for primary sources, simultaneously apportioned the secondary components to the primary sources and abstracted non-local sources from primary sources, which acquired more elaborate results. The results further helped develop more efficient air quality control policies.
北京市北运河流域属于典型缺水型城市纳污河流,沉积物释放的氮磷污染物已成为阻碍水环境质量持续改善的主要因素.利用自制环形水槽,对不同流速下沉积物中氮磷的动态释放规律进行研究,结果表明,静态条件下,沉积物中氨氮平均释放速率1136 mg/(m2·d),磷酸盐平均释放速率为145 mg/(m2·d),在流速0.05 m/s的缓流水体中,氨氮平均释放速率为1408 mg/(m2·d),而磷酸盐平均释放速率为125 mg/(m2·d).流速增加会显著促进氮素的硝化作用,使水体中氨氮浓度降低,硝酸盐氮浓度上升.同时,流速增加导致水体中颗粒物含量增加,促进磷吸附行为,水体中磷酸盐浓度下降.
120 main industrial installations were screened based on the emissions inventory of 2016 in Cangzhou City, and the air pollution effect of PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, sulfates, nitrates, and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) was simulated for 2017 autumn-winter season for different levels of pollution using the CALPUFF model after code recompilation. The results showed that the ratios of the modelled and measured concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and NO2 were 3.3%, 5.7%, 5.6%, and 2.9%, respectively. The areas most affected by pollution from primary PM10 were the southwest and southeast part of Cangzhou, while sulfate, nitrate, and SOA pollution mainly affected the southeast part. The proportion of SOA in the PM2.5 was around 27.3%, and rose to 29.0% during heavily polluted periods. The aerosols of alkenes, tolune, xylene, and PAH in PM2.5 accouted for 12.1%, 6.0%, 7.0%, and 2.2% of the total aerosols respectively. The result of the simulation of individual enterprises showed that their total contribution to PM2.5 during heavily polluted periods was 3.02 μg·m-3, accounting for 50% of the requirements in the "Three-year Plan" for Cangzhou City (6.00 μg·m-3). The top 5 contributors were 1 Petrochemical industry in Cangzhou (0.41 μg·m-3), 2 Carbon Co. Ltd. (0.29 μg·m-3), 3 Petrochemical industry in Juhai (0.26 μg·m-3), 4 Fertilizer Company (0.23 μg·m-3), 5 Dahua Co. Ltd. (0.19 μg·m-3). These industrial installations were mainly located in Xinhua District, Cangxian, and Bohai New District. This research can provide a scientific ground for production restrictions and limitations and emissions reduction of each industry during heavily polluted periods.
The processes affecting photochemical reactions and regional transport of ozone and its precursors in ambient air are very complicated. In this study, statistical analysis of the spatial and temporal distributions of ozone pollution in Zhoushan was carried out based on monitoring data from state monitoring stations in Zhoushan in 2014. Specifically, ozone formation was simulated by CMAQ (the community multiscale air quality) model, and the source contribution rate was calculated using the Integrated Source Apportionment Method (ISAM) source tracking algorithm. The results showed that ozone pollution was more severe in spring and autumn than in summer and winter, and the highest ozone concentrations mostly appeared during 13:00-15:00 in the afternoon. Putuo Station had the highest ozone concentration while Lincheng Station, located in the downtown area of the city, had the lowest ozone concentration. The overall average ozone concentration was not high; however, peak concentrations that exceeded the standards usually occurred, which occurs most often in May. Local ozone formation in Zhoushan City is controlled by the VOC concentration, and source tracking results showed that non-local sources accounted for 69.46% of the total contribution. Among local emission sources, fuel burning boiler sources, industry process sources, on-road mobile sources, and non-road mobile sources made similar contributions to ozone formation. Moreover, they showed significant characteristics of a port city. The contribution rates from shipping sources, petrochemical sources, and storage and transportation sources were 4.45%, 1.01%, and 1.80%, respectively. In conclusion, control of the ozone pollution in Zhoushan City should be based on simultaneous reduction and coordinated prevention involving multiple sources (VOCs as the main one) both locally and in surrounding areas.

The success of the emission reduction measures undertaken by authorities in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit 2014 demonstrated that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei air quality can be improved by introducing integrated emission reduction measures. This paper combines observation data, emission reduction measures, and air quality simulations that were applied before, during, and after the emission control measure implement to analyze the chemical composition change and relationship between emissions and concentrations of pollutants in region. The 24-h PM2.5 samples were collected in the city Beijing, Shijiazhuang, and Tangshan during the period of 20 October to 25 November, 2014. The total PM2.5 mass was measured. PM2.5 samples were used for the analysis of inorganic elements, selected ions, and organic carbon (OC) and element carbon (EC). PM2.5 concentrations during the emission control period were decreased. Total PM2.5 concentrations were reduced by 54, 26, and 39 % when compared to non-emission control period in Beijing, Shijiazhuang, and Tangshan. The average element concentrations were reduced significantly by 75 % in Beijing, 37 % in Shijiazhuang, and 36 % in Tangshan. After the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference, the average element concentration increased. At both cities, the concentration secondary water-soluble ions, primary carbon, and element carbon were reduced. However, the concentration of secondary carbon species increased in Beijing due to photochemical oxidants change. More stringent control of regional emissions will be needed for significant reductions of fine particulate pollution in the region to continue to improve air quality.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) produced by coke oven are with strong toxicity and carcinogenicity. Taken typical coke oven of iron and steel enterprises as the case study, the dispersion and migration of 13 kinds of PAHs emitted from coke oven were analyzed using AERMOD dispersion model, the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks at the receptors within the modeling domain were evaluated using BREEZE Risk Analyst and the Human Health Risk Assessment Protocol for Hazardous Waste Combustion (HHRAP) was followed, the health risks caused by PAHs emission from coke oven were quantitatively evaluated. The results indicated that attention should be paid to the non-carcinogenic risk of naphthalene emission (the maximum value was 0.97). The carcinogenic risks of each single pollutant were all below 1.0E-06, while the maximum value of total carcinogenic risk was 2.65E-06, which may have some influence on the health of local residents.
