Abstract:
This study chose two months (January and July) in 2012 which represent winter and summer respectively, to assess the effects of fine particle(PM2.5) pollution elimination due to emission control from different sectors in the Bejing-Tianjin-Hebei region by using CMAQ/2D-VBS modeling system. The results showed that, industrial emissions contributed most to PM2.5 pollution in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, followed by domestic emissions, while the contribution of per ton emission reduced for industrial sectors subject to domestic sectors. The total contribution and contribution of per ton emission reduced for transportation and power plant were both at low level. Among industrial sectors, the iron, steel and metallurgical industry was the greatest contributor, followed by cement industry, industrial boiler, coking industry, lime and bricks industry and chemical industry. It was found that the contribution of each emission source had significant association with its primary PM2.5 emission level. The control of NO emissions would promote the formation of PM2.5, and atmospheric vertical diffusion effect was weak during wintertime in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. As a result, emission control of various sectors was universally more effective for PM2.5 pollution mitigation in summer than in winter. Emission control in summer was significantly more effective for transportation, powerplant, cement industry, industrial boiler and lime and bricks industry. Due to considerable emissions in heating season, domestic emissions showed more contribution in winter. Agricultural sources showed greater contribution per emission reduction in winter by the reason of substantial emissions from straw open burning during this time. With respect to a certain reduction ratio of emission, future control strategies should pay more attention to industrial emissions, especially to the primary PM2.5 emissions. In details, priorities should be given to NO and SO2 emission control for iron, steel and metallurgical industry, NO emission control for cement industry and SO2 and NMVOC emission control for coking industry. Besides, domestic emission control should also be taken into consideration, and it will be more effective in winter.
