Abstract:
Based on the ISAM module in the WRF-CMAQ model, this study analyzed the source contribution(both regional and sectoral) of O3 and its precursors(NO2 and VOCs) in Zibo in June 2021. Days with a maximum daily 8-h average(MDA8) O3 higher(lower) than 160 μg·m-3 were defined as polluted(clean) days. Differences in the source contribution between clean days and polluted days were compared, and a typical pollution period was selected for further process analysis. The results showed that NO2 in Zibo mainly came from local emissions in summer, with a relative contribution of 45.1%. Vehicle emissions(33.8%) and natural sources(20.7%) were the primary NO2 sources. VOC contributions from natural sources, solvent usage, and the petrochemical industry were significant, with a total contribution of 78.5%. The MDA8 contribution from local sources was 21.4%, whereas the impact of regional transport(32%) and surrounding cities(26.8%) was also substantial. Among local emission sources, vehicle emissions, the power industry, and the building materials industry contributed 10.9%-18.8% to local MDA8. On O3 pollution days, the MDA8 contribution from local emissions and surrounding cities increased. However, the relative contributions from local sources were similar under different pollution conditions.
