ABSTRACT
Guanzhong urban agglomeration has a good development foundation and great development potential, and it has a unique strategic position in the national all-round opening up pattern. In recent years, the problem of near-surface ozone ï¼O3ï¼ in the Guanzhong Region has become increasingly prominent, which has become a bottleneck affecting the continuous improvement of air quality. In order to effectively prevent and control O3 pollution, this study analyzed the characteristics of annual, monthly, and daily changes in O3 concentration in the Guanzhong Region based on the environmental monitoring data from 2018 to 2021. A geo-detector was used to study the driving factors of the spatial differentiation of O3 concentration, and the sources of O3 were analyzed using a backward trajectory model and emission inventory construction. The results showed that the daily and monthly variation in O3 concentration in the Guanzhong Region were unimodal. The daily maximum value appeared at 15ï¼00, the minimum value appeared at 07ï¼00, the peak value of the monthly average appeared in June, and the valley value appeared in December. The O3 concentration was highest in summer, followed by that in spring, and the lowest in winter. The days of O3 exceeding the standard showed mainly mild pollution, and moderate and above pollution showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing. The O3 concentration in the Guanzhong Region was mainly closely related to precursors and meteorological factors, and the explanatory power of the interaction of each factor was significantly greater than that of any single factor. The regional transport of O3 concentration in the Guanzhong Region was mainly affected by easterly airflow, followed by the northwest direction, with the potential source areas located mainly in Henan Province and Hubei Province. The main local sources of volatile organic compounds ï¼VOCsï¼ were solvent use sources, process sources, and mobile sources, and the main emission sources of nitrogen oxides ï¼NOxï¼ were mobile sources and industrial production combustion sources. The research results have a guiding significance for O3 joint prevention and control in the Guanzhong Region.
