Ozone sensitivity analysis with the MM5-CMAQ modeling system for Shanghai

Ozone has become one of the most important air pollution issues around the world. This article applied both O3/(NOy-NOx) and H2O2/HNO3 indicators to analyze the ozone sensitivity in urban and rural areas of Shanghai, with implementation of the MM5-CMAQ modeling system in July, 2007. The meteorological parameters were obtained by using the MM5 model. A regional emission inventory with spatial and temporal allocation based on the statistical data has been developed to provide input emission data to the MM5-CMAQ modeling system. Results showed that the ozone concentrations in Shanghai show clear regional differences. The ozone concentration in rural areas was much higher than that in the urban area. Two indicators showed that ozone was more sensitive to VOCs in urban areas, while it tended to be NOx sensitive in rural areas of Shanghai.     

深圳市夏季臭氧污染研究

以2009年8月为例分析了深圳市夏季臭氧污染情况及污染气象特征,基于二维空气质量模式对臭氧污染控制进行数值模拟. 结果表明:深圳市８月各监测点均存在臭氧超标现象,污染形势严峻;副热带高压控制和热带气旋外围下沉气流是造成夏季出现高浓度臭氧的主要天气过程,此时大气边界层混合层高度在500～800 m,且近地面风速约在5 ms以内,不利于污染物扩散;臭氧的生成受前体物挥发性有机物(VOC)和氮氧化物(NO_x)排放的共同影响,其中VOC排放的影响较大,深圳市臭氧控制应以降低VOC排放量为重点,模拟得出对VOC和NO_x按25∶1～40∶1的比例协同减排可有效降低臭氧污染.      

Strong ozone production at a rural site in theNorth China Plain: Mixed effects of urban plumesand biogenic emissions

Regional ozone (O₃) pollution has drawn increasing attention in China over the recent decade, but the contributions from urban pollution and biogenic emissions have not been clearly elucidated. To better understand the formation of the regional O₃ problem in the North China Plain (NCP), intensive field measurements of O₃ and related parameters were conducted at a rural site downwind of Ji'nan, the capital city of Shandong province, in the summer of 2013. Markedly severe O₃ pollution was recorded, with the O₃ mixing ratios exceeding the Chinese national ambient air quality standard on 28?days (a frequency of 78%) and with a maximum hourly value of 198 ppbv. Extensive regional transport of well-processed urban plumes to the site was identified. An observation-constrained chemical box model was deployed to evaluate in situ photochemical O₃ production on two episodes. The results show that the in situ formation accounted for approximately 46% of the observed O₃ accumulation, while the remainder (~ 54%) was contributed by regional transport of the O₃-laden urban plumes. The in situ ozone production was in a mixed controlled regime that reducing either NOx or VOCs would lead to a reduction of ozone formation. Biogenic VOCs played an important role in the local ozone formation. This study demonstrates the significant mixed effects of both anthropogenic pollution from urban zones and biogenic emission in rural areas on the regional O₃ pollution in the NCP region, and may have general applicability in facilitating the understanding of the formation of secondary pollution over China.     

夏季长三角地区臭氧非线性响应曲面模型的建立及应用

2013年8月上旬,长三角地区发生了一次大范围高浓度臭氧污染事件.本研究基于WRF-CMAQ空气质量模型系统,结合长三角地区大气污染物排放清单,构建了臭氧与其前体物之间的非线性响应曲面模型(Response surface modeling,RSM).基于RSM探讨了长三角地区O_3化学的敏感性特征,分析了上海市O_3的来源并预测不同情景下O_3的变化,提出O_3污染的最优控制方案.研究结果表明,长三角地区夏季O3主控因素区域差别较大,上海环科院、杭州卧龙桥、南京玄武湖等城区点位属于VOC控制型;徐州铜山、合肥肥西、丽水青田等郊区属于NOx控制型.O_3的敏感性特征在不同浓度水平下也呈现较大差异,随着O_3浓度水平的升高,各地区NOx敏感性均有所增加.从区域来源来看,远距离传输对平日上海O_3贡献较大,占50%以上;而在O_3污染日,本地及区域贡献为72.1%,而远距离传输贡献下降至27.9%.快速预测了110组减排情景,表明在本地及区域前体物均减排70%的情况下,2013年8月上海O_3浓度能完全达标.     

夏季局地环流对北京下风向地区O3输送的影响

于2007年6~9月,北京地区环流背景属于局地“山谷风”环流期间,在沿主导风向路径分布的4个代表性测点开展了地面O3浓度观测,并采用Models-3/CMAQ模式对典型个例进行模拟,以研究城市对下风向地区O3输送的影响.结果表明,城市下风向测点上甸子本底站O3平均浓度、超标率最高,上风向测点超标率最低,O3小时极大值出现在城区站,为271.56×10-9;不同测点O3浓度日变化规律一致,但浓度日峰值出现时间呈现自城市至下风向地区逐渐滞后的规律;各测点主导风向下O3浓度分布具有沿输送路径逐渐升高的趋势,且两主导风向下的浓度差值也具有沿西南输送路径逐渐升高的趋势;本底地区O3的浓度受来自清洁地区和城市污染地区不同气流影响,观测资料估算得出城市对区域背景地区的输送贡献为36.7×10-9;模拟结果验证了北京地区城市对下风向地区O3的输送影响.     

气候变化对长三角臭氧污染影响的数值模拟研究

目的研究气候变化对污染物浓度的影响,进而了解其对环境空气质量的影响。方法利用WRF-Chem模拟2014年1月、7月(代表现在)和2050年1月、7月(未来)长三角地区的气象要素和空气质量的数据,研究气候变化对该区域臭氧浓度的影响。结果在夏季,未来(2050年7月)与现在相比(2014年7月),整个长三角区域的臭氧浓度变化幅度较小,约为-0.09×10~(-9),且呈现出北部增加,南部减少的趋势,在长三角北部的陆地地区,臭氧浓度增加达到极大值(15.0×10~(-9))。在冬季,与2014年1月的数据比较,未来(2050年1月)整个长三角地区臭氧比现在降低约7.9%,其中在上海以东洋面上减少达到极值(-25.1%)。结论在夏季,导致长三角北部地区臭氧浓度升高的主要原因是太阳辐射量的增加、VOC和NOx浓度的升高、边界层高度的降低以及增强南风的输送有关。长三角南部地区臭氧浓度的减少,主要原因是其太阳辐射的减少以及风速的增加。在冬季,在南通、上海以东洋面上臭氧减少的幅度较大,这与温度的降低、辐射的减少以及NOx浓度的增加有关。长三角南部区域的臭氧浓度有所增加,这与该区域太阳辐射的增加以及区域范围内的输送有关。在制定臭氧控制策略时,应该考虑未来气候变化的影响。     

A two-year study of ozone behaviour at rural and forested sites in Eastern France

Ozone and other gases measurements in three rural sites of different altitudes in eastern France (an area with important forest decline) were used as a basis to understand the mechanisms controlling the ozone behaviour in the lower troposphere. An analysis is presented of the annual variation of the background tropospheric ozone level in order to evaluate its contribution to the surface ozone level. The frequency of occurrence of simultaneous elevated ozone episodes at one urvan and the three rural sites was examined in order to determine the major cause of high ozone levels. The relation between elevated ozone concentrations and wind direction was also investigated. It was found that the majority of high ozone concentration episodes take place simultaneously at the three sites, showing an elevated occurrence of episodes of regional origins. Most of the episodes are associated with the east wind sector.

2006-01-01～2006-12-31在北京上甸子区域大气本底站和城区宝联环境观测站连续观测了SO2、NOx、O3和PM2.5的浓度,分析了北京城区和郊区的季节变化及日变化的差异,并结合风向讨论了城区污染对于大气本底的影响.结果表明,①NOx、SO2浓度在采暖季城郊差异最大,城区是本底的4～6倍,城郊O3有一致的浓度变化.本底站PM2.5在4、5月达到100μg/m3以上,是年平均的2～3倍;②NOx和SO2的日变化在城区表现为双峰型,在09:00前后和22:00前后形成高值,郊区表现为单峰型,在22:00前后出现高值.郊区O3的日变化峰值滞后于城区大约2 h.PM2.5日变化规律表现得较不规则;③西南风条件下本底各污染物浓度明显受城区输送影响而升高,东北风条件下干洁气团的影响比较明显.     

北京城区臭氧日变化特征及与前体物的相关性分析

对2012年12月至2013年11月北京城区12个自动空气监测子站的臭氧及其前体物的浓度进行了分析,探讨北京城区臭氧浓度的日变化特征以及与前体物的关系.研究发现,北京市城区臭氧在5~8月份维持相对较高浓度,其他月份则较低.臭氧浓度呈现单峰型分布,基本在15:00、16:00达到峰值;同时臭氧呈现较明显的“周末效应”,即周末臭氧浓度高于工作日浓度. CO、NO、NO2和NOx等前体物多呈现双峰型分布,与O3均呈显著的负相关性,相关性在夏季较低.通过大气氧化剂OX和NOx的拟合方程发现,冬季北京市城区OX在白天受区域O3影响相对较大,在夜间受局地NOx污染影响相对较大.计算了在理想情况下的城区NO2光解速率,春季、夏季、秋季和冬季的平均值分别为0.180,0.209,0.169,0.149min-1.在白天臭氧的高浓度时段城区O3、NO和NO2体现出近似光化学平衡态的特征.     

北京市郊区夏季臭氧重污染特征及生成效率

为研究北京郊区夏季O₃(臭氧)重污染过程特征及O₃生成的光化学敏感性,基于2016年夏季在北京郊区开展的针对O₃及其相关污染物的强化观测试验(7月23日—8月31日,共计40 d),分析了观测期间O₃浓度[以φ(O₃)计]变化特征、O₃重污染过程主控因素与O₃敏感性化学特征.结果表明:观测期间φ(O₃)超标时有发生,最大小时φ(O₃)为151.1×10-9,其中有15 d的φ(O₃)最大8 h滑动平均值(O₃-max-8h)超过了GB 3095—2012《环境空气质量标准》二级标准限值,占观测天数的37.5%;不同O₃重污染过程成因有所不同,城市烟羽传输的污染物对郊区O₃重污染过程影响显著(观测期间臭氧重污染过程:过程1,7月27—29日;过程3,8月9—11日;过程4,8月16日;过程5,8月21—24日),区域光化学污染对郊区O₃重污染过程也有贡献(观测期间O₃重污染过程2:8月4—6日);结合后向气流轨迹进一步辅助说明了不同重污染过程中O₃的来源不同.研究还发现,观测区域存在反“周末效应”现象,说明观测区域周末受人为影响较为明显;基于观测数据计算的OPE(O₃生成效率)分析了O₃光化学敏感性表明,在有OPE值的22 d内NO_x控制区和VOCs控制区出现的概率(41%)相等,即观测区域O₃对NO_x和VOCs均敏感;此外还发现,在O₃重污染过程中光化学敏感性会随其反应进程发生改变,由NO_x控制区逐渐转变为VOCs控制区.      

Estimating the effects of meteorology on PM2.5 reduction during the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China

Particulate pollution was a critical challenge to the promise of good air quality during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, which took place from August 8th to 24th. To ensure good air quality for the Games, several temporary emission control measures were implemented in Beijing and surrounding areas. Ambient particulate matter concentration decreased significantly during the Olympic period; however, it is difficult to distinguish the effectiveness of those control measures since meteorology also affects ambient PM_2.5 concentration. In this work, a multiple linear regression model based on continuous field monitoring at a roadside site was conducted to evaluate the effects of meteorology and emission control measures on the reduction of PM_2.5 during the 2008 Olympic Games. The hourly data set was divided into two time periods, the no control period, June 22nd to July 4th, and the control period, July 28th to August 21st. The response variable was PM_2.5 and the meteorology covariates used in the model were hourly temperature, dew point temperature, wind speed and precipitation. Wind direction was not a significant predictor of PM_2.5 levels in either the control or the no control period. Using the meteorologically-based regression coefficients from the two time periods, meteorology was found to contribute to at least a 16% reduction in PM_2.5 levels in the roadside microenvironment; while the pollution control measures contributed to at least a 43% reduction in PM_2.5 levels.     

海南省背景区域臭氧及其前体物污染特征

基于2019年五指山背景点、海口市和三亚市的环境空气自动监测数据和气象观测资料,分析了海南省背景区域和重点城市O₃及其前体物NO₂污染特征;结合挥发性有机物（VOCs）在线监测数据,分析了五指山背景点VOCs的时间变化规律、O₃浓度高值月份O₃及其前体物VOCs和NO_x的污染特征以及VOCs的臭氧生成潜势（OFP）.结果表明,O₃是影响五指山背景点空气质量的关键污染物,五指山背景点O₃日最大8 h浓度平均值与海口市和三亚市显著相关.背景点NO₂月均浓度水平显著低于城市点,然而背景点和城市点O₃月均浓度水平和变化趋势高度一致.背景点O₃变化与风向密切相关,春夏季偏南风频率较高,O₃浓度相对较低;秋冬季以东北风为主,易受内陆污染输送影响,O₃浓度较高.五指山背景点春夏季VOCs体积分数低于秋冬季,但对应的OFP高于秋冬季;其中异戊二烯夏季体积分数显著高于秋冬季,且其夏季体积分数占总挥发性有机物的比例最高,对应的OFP贡献率可达70%以上,O₃则表现出秋冬季显著高于夏季的特征.11月O₃高浓度时段乙炔和芳香烃的体积分数较清洁日出现较大上升,同时其对应的OFP显著上升.VOCs优势物种和OFP主要贡献物种的分析结果表明,O₃高浓度时段机动车尾气和油气挥发排放源对五指山背景点VOCs的化学组成和OFP有重要贡献.     

基于天气背景天津大气污染输送特征分析

区域输送是大气污染防治中需要考虑的重要因素,本文利用大气化学模式定量估算2016年10月~2017年9月区域输送对天津的影响,重点基于天气背景分析区域输送影响和气象条件的关系,为京津冀地区大气污染联防联控提供支撑.结果表明,京津冀地区各城市区域输送贡献百分率平原城市显著高于沿山城市,天津一次PM_2.5本地贡献62.9%,区域输送贡献37.1%,主要受沧州、廊坊、河北中南部、北京、唐山和山东等地输送影响,每年4~6月区域输送最显著,7~8月区域输送最弱.区域输送与天气形势、风场和降水等气象条件密切相关,高压后和锋前低压是区域输送占比最高的两种污染天气类型,西南风、西风和南风3个风向下天津大气污染输送影响最为明显,风速2~3 m ·s^-1时最有利于PM_2.5区域传输,降水超过5 mm以上将降低大气污染物区域传输效率.对于不同污染类型和重污染阶段,轻度污染天气时区域输送贡献最为明显,比均值偏高20.5%,重污染天气虽受静稳气团控制,但由于周边区域高浓度的PM_2.5,污染气团迁移对区域内污染聚集传输有显著影响,重污染期间PM_2.5输送贡献占比超过均值,约偏高10%~15%.重污染过程中,开始积累阶段和峰值阶段,输送贡献占比高于其它时期,与暴发阶段相比偏高14.5%和19.5%,重污染暴发阶段本地排放贡献更明显,比均值偏高9.9%.     

北京市臭氧的时空分布特征

对2012年12月~2013年11月期间北京市35个自动空气监测子站的O3浓度进行分析,探讨北京市O3浓度的时间、空间分布特征,并对夏季的一次O3高浓度过程进行了分析.结果表明,北京市O3浓度在5~8月维持相对较高浓度,其他月份则维持较低浓度.整体来看,4类功能的监测站点中O3平均浓度由高到低分别是对照点及区域点、郊区环境评价点、城区环境评价点和交通污染监控点;O3浓度日变化呈单峰型分布,一般在15:00、16:00达到峰值;O3还呈现明显的"周末效应",即周末白天时段O3浓度大于工作日浓度.北京市O3浓度城区相对较低,周边区县相对较高,生态植被优良的东北部地区浓度最高.2013年6月3日北京市发生一次O3高浓度过程,在下午西南风的作用下,榆垡、丰台花园、奥体中心和怀柔监测站O3峰值出现的时间从南到北依次滞后,且怀柔站在20:00才出现峰值,体现了这次过程中存在明显的O3输送特征.     

基于前体物多情景排放的兰州市2030年夏季臭氧预测

近年来,兰州市夏季臭氧污染问题日渐凸显,已成为影响当地环境空气质量达标的首要污染因子和制约环境空气质量持续改善的突出短板.解决臭氧污染问题需结合城市经济发展的实际情况定量评估前体物减排量并提出切实可行的减排对策,为环境管理的中长期规划提供科学依据.在2015年本地排放清单的基础上,通过情景分析法预测了兰州市2030年3种梯度城市发展与污染控制情景下臭氧的两类主要前体物氮氧化物（NO_x）和挥发性有机物（VOCs）的排放量,利用WRF-Chem模型对不同情景下的2030年夏季臭氧污染程度进行了数值模拟,分析了臭氧浓度与生成敏感性的时空变化情况,并提出了兰州市臭氧前体物的总量控制参考和针对不同行政区的减排对策建议.结果表明,3种不同的城市发展与污染控制情景下兰州市2030年NO_x排放量为4.57×10⁴～12.14×10⁴ t, VOCs排放量为5.30×10⁴～7.69×10⁴ t, NO_x排放可通过调整能源结构,加强末端治理和限制机动车...     

南京市秋季细颗粒物及臭氧生成敏感性初探

为考察江苏省南部地区重点排放源对南京市秋季细颗粒物(PM_(2.5))的贡献率及O_3生成敏感性,采用强力法针对特定排放源及污染物设置不同的排放情景,利用化学传输模拟系统Models-3/Community Multi-scale Air Quality(CMAQ)分析模拟区域内不同情景下地表PM_(2.5)及O_3浓度变化。2012年10月,电厂、钢铁和水泥的污染物排放对南京市PM_(2.5)浓度的平均贡献率分别为6.0%、25.5%和15.9%,对国控站点的贡献率分别为7.2%、17.7%和16.2%。钢铁对下风向区域的地表PM_(2.5)浓度的影响显著高于电厂及水泥部门的排放。从不同情境下模拟O_3地表浓度变化结果看出,南京市城区及下风向区域的O_3浓度随VOC排放削减降低,随NO_x排放削减升高,因而判定南京市秋季O_3生成属于VOC控制区。     

The relationship between ozone and regional tracers in rural Rhode Island

Ozone and regional tracers are directly related at a rural Rhode Island site during summer. Unlike elemental tracers and sulfate, ozone has a significant background which appears to be unrelated to regional-pollution sources. Summer ozone concentrations were apportioned among northeastern and midwestern sources using results from regional-scale receptor modeling of pollution aerosol. The Northeast contributed roughly 40% more than the Midwest, but ‘background’ accounted for up to half of the average ozone concentration.     

杭州黑碳气溶胶污染特性及来源研究

2011年7月~2012年6月对黑碳气溶胶(BC)、PM2.5、污染气体及气象因子进行同步观测,以评估杭州市BC污染特征、来源分布及对大气能见度的影响.结果表明:杭州市大气BC日均浓度范围为1.3~16.5μg/m3,年均值达到(5.1±2.5)μg/m3.BC呈明显的季节变化趋势,秋冬季高,夏季低.BC也呈典型的日变化趋势,交通高峰期高,下午低,同时与NOx呈较好的相关性,表明城市中BC受到机动车尾气排放的重要影响;而BC/CO低于其他城市则表明生物质燃烧排放可能是杭州BC的另一大重要来源.BC随风速下降呈上升趋势, BC超过10μg/m3的高浓度事件中,风速基本低于2m/s,北-西北-西风对高浓度BC的输送作用明显.观测期间BC的吸收系数为(44.8±23.0)Mm-1,占到总消光比例的10.4%.灰霾和重度灰霾天气下,吸收系数分别为(66.2±30.1),(100.2±49.2)Mm-1,达到非霾天气的2.2和3.4倍, 表明BC吸收消光作用是影响杭州市大气能见度下降和灰霾天气发生的重要因素之一.     

南京城市下垫面变化对夏季臭氧浓度的影响研究

利用南京基准地面气象站1951~2010年的气象数据分析南京气象要素的长期变化,利用2007年南京草场门大气污染物监测数据探讨O3同气象要素之间关系并分析气象要素改变对污染的可能影响,结合WRF-CALGRID模式基于2008年7月的情景模拟研究1990年代以后南京城市下垫面变化对气象要素变化的贡献,并分析其对O3浓度的影响.结果显示,南京气温呈现增长趋势,平均风速、大气湿度、日照时数呈现降低趋势.气温与O3浓度呈一定的正相关关系、较小的风速和相对湿度有利于O3的生成.城市下垫面的增加使得南京城区气温增高超过1℃、风速减小0.4m/s、湿度下降0.5g/kg、混合层高度增加100m.气象要素的改变使地面NOx浓度减小,最大减小量超过6×10-9.对O3浓度的影响有增有减,南京市北部、西部增加,增加量超过2×10-9,主要受温度增加、风速减小以及NO的垂直输送影响;主城区的南部、东部O3浓度减小,减少量1×10-9~3×10-9,主要受混合层高度增加的影响.     

Passive air sampling of organochlorine pesticides in a northeastern state of India, Manipur

Thirty-six polyurethane foam disk passive air samplers (PUF-PAS) were deployed over a year during January to December, 2009 at three locations, i.e., Imphal (urban site), Thoubal (rural site) and Waithou (alpine site) of Manipur, to assess the seasonal local atmospheric emission of selected organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). The average concentration of HCHs monitored at mountain site during hot season (Mar, Apr, and May) and rainy seasons (Jun, Jul, Aug, and Sep) were 403 and 349 pg/m3, respectively. DDTs had a high concentration with 384 pg/m3 at rural site and 379 pg/m3 at urban site during hot seasons. Endosulfans and chlordane were found high in concentration during hot seasons (260 pg/m3) and low during retreating monsoon seasons (44 pg/m3) at rural site. Most of the OCPs concentrations were high during cultivation period. The OCP concentrations of rainy season were highly correlated (p < 0.01) with OCPs of hot seasons. Further, positive correlation (p < 0.05) was also obtained between cold seasons and retreating monsoon. Principal component analysis showed a significant correlation among the four seasons and distribution pattern of OCPs in air. Back trajectory analysis by using HYPSLIT model showed a long range air transport of OCPs to the present study area. Present OCP levels at Manipur is an outcome of both local emission and also movement of air mass by long range atmospheric transport.
