Ozone episodes during and after the 2018 Chinese National Day holidays in Guangzhou: Implications for the control of precursor VOCs

The impact of reducing industrial emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on ozone (O₃) pollution is of wide concern particularly in highly industrialized megacities. In this study, O₃, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and VOCs were measured at an urban site in the Pearl River Delta region during the 2018 Chinese National Day Holidays and two after-holiday periods (one with ozone pollution and another without). O₃ pollution occurred throughout the 7-day holidays even industrial emissions of VOCs were passively reduced due to temporary factory shutdowns, and the toluene to benzene ratios dropped from ∼10 during non-holidays to ∼5 during the holidays. Box model (AtChem2-MCM) simulations with the input of observation data revealed that O₃ formation was all VOC-limited, and alkenes had the highest relative incremental reactivity (RIR) during the holiday and non-holiday O₃ episodes while aromatics had the highest RIR during the non-pollution period. Box model also demonstrated that even aromatics decreased proportionally to levels with near-zero contributions of industrial aromatic solvents, O₃ concentrations would only decrease by less than 20% during the holiday and non-holiday O₃ episodes and ozone pollution in the periods could not be eliminated. The results imply that controlling emissions of industrial aromatic solvents might be not enough to eliminate O₃ pollution in the region, and more attention should be paid to anthropogenic reactive alkenes. Isoprene and formaldehyde were among the top 3 species by RIRs in all the three pollution and non-pollution periods, suggesting substantial contribution to O₃ formation from biogenic VOCs.

上海城区典型空气污染过程中细颗粒污染特征研究

采集了上海城区2009年10月10~21日期间2次空气污染过程的样品,在对污染过程分析的基础上,着重分析了PM2.5及其化学组分的变化,探讨了污染源及形成机制.研究表明,14日的灰霾过程主要由本地排放的污染物二次转化形成,PM2.5占PM10比重超过60%且PM2.5中离子组分含量高.17~19日的浮尘过程中,受北方沙尘影响本市粗颗粒浓度上升,PM2.5所占比重下降,二次离子组分从细颗粒物向粗颗粒物转移且Ca2+浓度上升,同时受到长江三角洲区域秸秆焚烧的影响,细颗粒物中K+, EC和OC含量高.因此,应在控制本地源排放的同时,加强对细颗粒尤其是二次细颗粒污染及其前体物的协同控制.

为探究长时间跨度的道路积尘变化特征,于2019~2020年对北京市大兴区内主要道路进行尘负荷检测,并于2020年四季收集道路PM₁₀和PM_2.5积尘样品,分析化学组分,建立成分谱.结果表明,2019年和2020年大兴区道路尘负荷年均值分别为1.05g/m²和0.74g/m²,2020年大兴区道路尘负荷较2019年下降29.5%.2019年道路尘负荷热点聚集区分散,大兴区内道路尘负荷高值区较多,2020年热点区集中出现在西北部,冷点区集中在东部区域.2020年大兴区道路扬尘排放因子低于2019年,大部分乡镇/街道中,2020年的扬尘排放因子和排放量低于2019年,呈现出东南部 > 中部 > 西北部的趋势.2020年大兴区道路扬尘排放量低于2019年,大兴区南部和西北部乡镇/街道内的扬尘排放量大于中部.受建筑施工活动影响.2020年大兴区道路PM₁₀和PM_2.5积尘化学组分中以土壤风沙和建筑施工活动相关的元素为主,Ca、Mg、Si、Al元素分别共占比39.39%和41.71%.对大兴区道路尘负荷进行针对性管控,首先需要对运输车辆进行及时冲洗,降低轮胎的尘土夹带量.其次应加强工地出口至附近1km的道路清扫保洁频次,将工地出口处道路尘负荷对周边道路的辐射影响降低.     

骆马湖表层沉积物有机质分布特征及来源解析

为解析骆马湖富营养化沉积物的影响因素,2018年9月采集了骆马湖表层沉积物32个点位样品,分析了沉积物的总有机碳（TOC）、总氮（TN）、有机碳同位素（δ¹³C）和氮同位素（δ¹⁵N）指标,研究了沉积物中有机质分布特征及来源.研究表明：表层沉积物TOC含量在0.55%~3.76%,平均值为1.62%;TN含量在0.04%~0.46%,平均值为0.19%;δ¹³C含量在-27.32‰~-8.36‰,平均值为-14.98‰;δ¹⁵N含量在-1.92‰~10.17‰,平均值为7.72‰,TN与TOC在空间分布呈正相关,有机碳、氮同位素受不同来源有机质影响空间分布有较大差异.对δ¹⁵N、δ¹³C与C/N进行定性分析和端元混合模型定量计算,得出骆马湖表层沉积物有机质来源主要有三个：一是人类活动带来的土壤有机质贡献率最大,特别是东岸休闲旅游区贡献较高;二是围网养殖造成的源污染,加大了湖泊富营养化程度;第三是湖泊来水携带较高浓度的污水有机质,对"典型过水性"骆马湖水质影响较大.为了降低骆马湖水体富营养化程度,改善水生态环境质量,急需对湖体有机质的来源加大控制.     

Pollution levels and characteristics of phthalate esters in indoor air of offices

The pollution status and characteristics of PAEs (phthalate esters) were investigated in indoor air of offices, and PAEs of both gas-phase and particulate-phase were detected in all the samples. The concentration (sum of the gas phase and the particulate phase) was 4748.24 ng/m³, ranging between 3070.09 and 6700.14 ng/m³. Diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were the most abundant compounds, together accounting for 70% of the Σ6PAEs. Dividing the particulate-phase PAEs into four size ranges (<2.5, 2.5-5, 5-10, >10 μm), the result indicated that PAEs in PM_2.5 were the most abundant, with the proportion of 72.64%. In addition, the PAE concentration in PM_2.5 correlated significantly with the total particulate-phase PAEs (R² = 0.85). Thus, the amount of PAEs in PM_2.5 can be estimated from the total amount of particulate-phase PAEs using this proportion. In a comparison between the offices and a newly decorated study room, it was found that pollution characteristics were similar between these two places. Thus, it is implied that the PAE concentration decreased by 50% 2 yr after decorating.     

Potential of secondary aerosol formation from Chinese gasoline engine exhaust

Light-duty gasoline vehicles have drawn public attention in China due to their significant primary emissions of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds(VOCs). However,little information on secondary aerosol formation from exhaust for Chinese vehicles and fuel conditions is available. In this study, chamber experiments were conducted to quantify the potential of secondary aerosol formation from the exhaust of a port fuel injection gasoline engine. The engine and fuel used are common in the Chinese market, and the fuel satisfies the China V gasoline fuel standard. Substantial secondary aerosol formation was observed during a 4–5 hr simulation, which was estimated to represent more than 10 days of equivalent atmospheric photo-oxidation in Beijing. As a consequence, the extreme case secondary organic aerosol(SOA) production was 426 ± 85 mg/kg-fuel, with high levels of precursors and OH exposure. The low hygroscopicity of the aerosols formed inside the chamber suggests that SOA was the dominant chemical composition. Fourteen percent of SOA measured in the chamber experiments could be explained through the oxidation of speciated single-ring aromatics. Unspeciated precursors, such as intermediate-volatility organic compounds and semi-volatile organic compounds, might be significant for SOA formation from gasoline VOCs. We concluded that reductions of emissions of aerosol precursor gases from vehicles are essential to mediate pollution in China.
