长三角地区大气污染物对新冠肺炎封城的时空响应特征

利用2020年1月1日—2月29日上海、南京、合肥和杭州4个城市常规污染物的逐时监测资料,结合卫星反演的NO₂垂直柱浓度信息,探讨了新冠肺炎封城的前、中、后期长三角地区城市大气污染物的污染水平及响应特征.结果显示：除O₃外,其余大气污染物的平均浓度在时间上的整体变化趋势均表现为封城前>封城中（1月24日—2月10日）>封城后,表明空气质量并非完全受封城导致的污染减排控制.封城期间的PM_2.5/PM₁₀比值高于封城前和封城后,表明气溶胶二次生成对封城期间仍出现的颗粒物污染可能有重要贡献.O_x浓度在封城期间也有显著上升（p<0.01）,表明大气氧化性可能在NO₂减少的背景下得到强化,从而促进二次气溶胶的生成.从空间看,O₃分布呈以城市为中心的包围式往内聚集分布,表明以局地生成为主.PM_2.5、PM₁₀、CO、SO₂和NO₂分布特征为北高南低,表明冬季自北向南的区域传输对封城期间的空气污染有重要贡献.卫星反演结果进一步证实华北平原是污染的主要源区,这也得到轨迹来源分析的佐证.     

厦门湾空气质量对新冠疫情管控的响应

通过对厦门湾城市群在COVID-19封锁前后6周内（2020-01-11~2020-02-21）的空气污染物浓度变化进行分析,以确定影响本区域空气质量的主要人为污染源.在春节假期与封锁叠加期间,SO₂、NO₂、CO、PM₁₀和PM_2.5浓度相比于节前1周的下降幅度分别为6%~22%、53%~70%、34%~48%、47%~64%和53%~60%,而O₃浓度变化没有一致的规律性;与2018~2019年历史同期相比,PM_2.5、PM₁₀、CO和NO₂的下降幅度更大,但SO₂的下降幅度相当;在复工复产后,NO₂的反弹幅度最大（38%~138%）,远高于SO₂（2%~42%）,显示交通源相对于固定源更易受到疫情管控的影响;春节后风速增大和降水增多也为SO₂、NO₂和PM的下降提供了正向影响.利用反距离插值权重法,得到管控前后厦门湾城市群不同污染物的空间分布变化特征,显示NO₂浓度高值区的变化与交通源高度相关,CO和SO₂空间分布特征保持稳定,复工后PM_2.5和PM₁₀在人口与路网密集区变化不明显,而在工地相对集中区域有明显上升,O₃空间分布的低值区与NO₂的高值区具有较好的空间匹配性,显示NO₂对O₃滴定作用明显,可为进一步O₃污染减排措施的制定提供参考.     

COVID-19管控前后不同污染阶段PM2.5中二次无机离子变化特征

为探讨新冠肺炎疫情(COVID-19)管控前后不同污染阶段PM_2.5中二次无机离子变化特征,使用高分辨率(1 h)在线仪器对2019年12月15日至2020年2月15日郑州冬季气象、污染气体浓度和PM_2.5中水溶性离子水平进行在线监测,分析此次COVID-19管控前后霾过程的成因、大气污染物的日变化特征和在霾不同阶段下大气污染物的分布特征.结果表明,郑州主要受到高压脊控制,天气形势稳定,有利于大气污染物累积,二次无机气溶胶(SNA,包括SO₄^2-、NO^-₃和NH⁺₄)是水溶性离子的主要组分,占比高达90%以上,COVID-19期间居家隔离措施对霾不同阶段下大气污染物的分布特征产生不同的影响,COVID-19期间PM_2.5在干净、发生和消散阶段的浓度比COVID-19前有所提高,但是发展阶段明显降低,居家隔离明显使PM_2.5高值降低了;NO₂、SO<...     

Spatial and temporal variation of particulate matter and gaseous pollutants in 26 cities in China

O3and PM2.5were introduced into the newly revised air quality standard system in February 2012, representing a milestone in the history of air pollution control, and China's urban air quality will be evaluated using six factors(SO2, NO2, O3, CO, PM2.5and PM10) from the beginning of 2013. To achieve the new air quality standard, it is extremely important to have a primary understanding of the current pollution status in various cities. The spatial and temporal variations of the air pollutants were investigated in 26 pilot cities in China from August 2011 to February 2012, just before the new standard was executed. Hourly averaged SO2, NO2and PM10were observed in 26 cities, and the pollutants O3, CO and PM2.5were measured in 15 of the 26 cities. The concentrations of SO2and CO were much higher in the cities in north China than those in the south. As for O3and NO2, however, there was no significant diference between northern and southern cities. Fine particles were found to account for a large proportion of airborne particles, with the ratio of PM2.5to PM10ranging from 55% to 77%. The concentrations of PM2.5(57.5 μg/m3) and PM10(91.2 μg/m3) were much higher than the values(PM2.5: 11.2 μg/m3; PM10 : 35.6 μg/m3) recommended by the World Health Organization. The attainment of the new urban air quality standard in the investigated cities is decreased by 20% in comparison with the older standard without considering O3, CO and PM2.5, suggesting a great challenge in urban air quality improvement, and more eforts will to be taken to control air pollution in China.     

Evidence of aircraft activity impact on local air quality: A study in the context of uncommon airport operation

Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (WUH) was suspended to contain the spread of COVID-19, while Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) saw a tremendous flight reduction. Closure of a major international airport is extremely rare and thus represents a unique opportunity to straightforwardly observe the impact of airport emissions on local air quality. In this study, a series of statistical tools were applied to analyze the variations in air pollutant levels in the vicinity of WUH and SHA. The results of bivariate polar plots show that airport SHA and WUH are a major source of nitrogen oxides. NO_x, NO₂ and NO diminished by 55.8%, 44.1%, 76.9%, and 40.4%, 33.3% and 59.4% during the COVID-19 lockdown compared to those in the same period of 2018 and 2019, under a reduction in aircraft activities by 58.6% and 61.4%. The concentration of NO₂, SO₂ and PM_2.5 decreased by 77.3%, 8.2%, 29.5%, right after the closure of airport WUH on 23 January 2020. The average concentrations of NO, NO₂ and NO_x scatter plots at downwind of SHA after the lockdown were 78.0%, 47.9%, 57.4% and 62.3%, 34.8%, 41.8% lower than those during the same period in 2018 and 2019. However, a significant increase in O₃ levels by 50.0% and 25.9% at WUH and SHA was observed, respectively. These results evidently show decreased nitrogen oxides concentrations in the airport vicinity due to reduced aircraft activities, while amplified O₃ pollution due to a lower titration by NO under strong reduction in NO_x emissions.     

成都市降水对大气污染物的清除效果分析

成都市受特殊地形和气候条件影响,地面风速小,静风比例高,空气湿度大,大气污染物扩散缓慢,主要靠降水的冲刷和清除作用去除大气污染物.利用2014年5月13日-2017年12月31日成都市逐小时ρ（PM_2.5）、ρ（PM₁₀）、ρ（NO₂）、ρ（O₃）、ρ（CO）、ρ（SO₂）监测数据和同期地面降水量观测数据,分析了降水前污染物质量浓度、小时最大降水量、降水持续时间及累积降水量对大气污染物清除效果的影响.结果表明:①降水对6种大气污染物的清除率随降水前污染物质量浓度的增加而增大,并且汛期降水对大气污染物的清除率大于非汛期降水.②降水对大气污染物起正清除作用,清除率随降水持续时间的增加而增大.③不同降水量对不同污染物的清除效果不同,对PM_2.5、PM₁₀、NO₂、CO和SO₂的清除率随降水量的增加而逐渐增大,对O₃的清除效果相差不大且清除率均较大;小时最大降水量对PM_2.5、PM₁₀、NO₂、O₃、CO、SO₂的清除率平均值分别为29.48%、26.95%、22.02%、26.87%、11.94%、28.75%,累积降水量的清除率平均值分别为31.64%、30.66%、24.38%、26.31%、13.89%、32.91%,其中CO不易溶于水,降水对其清除作用明显小于其他几种污染物.研究显示,降水对大气污染物的清除作用显著,对SO₂、PM_2.5和PM₁₀的清除效果较好,而对CO的清除效果较差.      

Significant concurrent decrease in PM2.5 and NO2 concentrations in China during COVID-19 epidemic

The strict control measures and social lockdowns initiated to combat COVID-19 epidemic have had a notable impact on air pollutant concentrations. According to observation data obtained from the China National Environmental Monitoring Center, compared to levels in 2019, the average concentration of NO₂ in early 2020 during COVID-19 epidemic has decreased by 53%, 50%, and 30% in Wuhan city, Hubei Province (Wuhan excluded), and China (Hubei excluded), respectively. Simultaneously, PM_2.5 concentration has decreased by 35%, 29%, and 19% in Wuhan, Hubei (Wuhan excluded), and China (Hubei excluded), respectively. Less significant declines have also been found for SO₂ and CO concentrations. We also analyzed the temporal variation and spatial distribution of air pollutant concentrations in China during COVID-19 epidemic. The decreases in PM_2.5 and NO₂ concentrations showed relatively consistent temporal variation and spatial distribution. These results support control of NO_x to further reduce PM_2.5 pollution in China. The concurrent decrease in NO_x and PM_2.5 concentrations resulted in an increase of O₃ concentrations across China during COVID-19 epidemic, indicating that coordinated control of other pollutants is needed.     

深圳市2022年春季新冠疫情管控期间空气质量分析

短期减排是我国城市应对大气污染事件的重要应急管控手段,但短期减排的效益尚未得到完善分析.2022年3月14～20日,广东省深圳市为抑制新冠疫情传播实施了全市管控,为评估短期减排对华南城市春季空气质量的影响提供独特机会.结合深圳市高精度环境空气质量监测与气象观测等多源数据,分析了深圳市管控期间前后的空气质量变化.此次管控前和管控期中均有部分日期天气形势静稳,局地污染水平主要反映本地排放,有利于分析本地减排的影响.观测与WRF-GC区域化学模拟都表明,与珠三角周边城市相比,深圳市管控期间由于市内交通源排放显著减少,深圳市二氧化氮(NO₂)浓度降低(-26±9.5)%,可吸入颗粒物(PM₁₀)浓度降低(-28±6.4)%,细颗粒物(PM_2.5)浓度降低(-20±8.2)%,但臭氧(O₃)浓度无显著变化[(-1.0±6.5)%].TROPOMI卫星观测的甲醛和二氧化氮柱浓度数据对比表明,2022年春季珠三角臭氧光化学主要受挥发性有机物(VOCs)浓度控制,对氮氧化物浓度降低不敏感,反而可能因氮氧化物对臭氧滴...     

京津冀污染物跨界输送通量模拟

发展了关键影响因子加权人为源分配方法(WKIF),增添了依赖于气象条件和下垫面类型的生物源,动态更新了气象场和浓度场的边界条件.然后利用WRF-CAMx模式定量给出了四季北京、天津和河北大气边界层中PM2.5、O3、CO、SO2、NO2和NO跨界输送通量和北京净输入或输出通量.结果表明WKIF方法合理反映了中小城市人为源的空间分布特征,模式重要输入参量、初值与边界条件的改进显著改善了WRF-CAMx模式对京津冀地区6个观测站点近地面NOx、O3和PM2.5浓度的模拟.北京向天津冬、春季主要通过西北方向,夏、秋季主要经过偏西方向输入NO、NO2、SO2、CO、O3、PM2.5,输送通量夏季均最小,冬季均最大,且四季北京向天津输入的CO、O3、PM2.5通量显著高于NO、NO2、SO2通量.河北的污染物冬、春季主要通过西北方向,夏季主要经由偏南方向,秋季主要途径偏西方向进入北京;四季北京向河北输入NO和NO2,但跨界输送通量小于20t·d-1;四季河北向北京输入的CO、O3、PM2.5通量远高于北京向河北输送的NO、NO2通量,明显大于北京向河北输送的SO2通量,且河北向北京输入CO、O3、PM2.5通量夏季均最小,冬季均最大;四季北京大气边界层中NO、NO2、SO2最大净输出通量小于50t.d-1,CO、O3、PM2.5净输入或输出通量分别为111～2309、567～6244、715～1778t·d-1.这些定量结果为京津冀区域污染源调控对策的制定提供了科学依据.     

2014~2016年京津冀沿山城市空气质量首要污染物特征分析

对北京、保定、石家庄、邢台和邯郸这5个京津冀太行山沿山城市2014~2016年空气质量首要污染物进行分析,探讨其空间分布特征和时间变化趋势.结果表明,北京首要污染物由主到次为PM_2.5、O₃-8h、NO₂和PM₁₀,其他4个城市首要污染物排序为PM_2.5、PM₁₀、O₃-8h、NO₂、SO₂和CO.在空间分布上,各城市PM_2.5首要污染物天数比例3 a均值相当（53.3%~58.1%）,但从北向南,5个城市PM₁₀天数比例基本呈上升趋势,而O₃-8h反之.除邯郸PM_2.5首要污染物天数比例逐年明显下降外,其他4个城市的天数比例年际变化幅度较小;2016年石家庄、邢台和邯郸O₃-8h天数比例均显著上升.各城市PM_2.5和O₃-8h首要污染物天数月变化曲线分别呈"W"型和"倒U"型,PM₁₀首要污染物天数在3~5月出现明显高值区.从良至严重污染,各城市PM_2.5和PM₁₀首要污染物天数比例之和随空气质量级别逐级递增,其中PM₁₀天数比例逐级下降,而PM_2.5表现相反;O₃-8h首要污染物天基本出现在良至中度污染级别,且总体上逐级下降;NO₂仅在良级天有较高的天数比例贡献.
