Fine particulate matter pollution in North China: Seasonal-spatial variations, source apportionment, sector and regional transport contributions.

Abstract：

:Large areas of mainland China have been suffering frequently from heavy haze pollution during the past years, which feature high concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5, particulate matters with aerodynamic diameters less than 2.5 μm) and low visibility. Moreover, these areas manifested strong regional complex pollution characteristics, particularly in North China including Beijing and the five surrounding provinces (BSFP). In this study, by using the localized comprehensive emission inventory of BSFP region in 2012 as an input, the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions-Particulate Matter Source Apportionment Technology (CAMx/PSAT) was used to assess the seasonal variations and source apportionment of PM2.5 in the highly polluted BSFP region, with a specific focus on the sectoral and sub-regional contributions to PM2.5 in Beijing during winter and summer. Results showed that the PM2.5 concentrations of BSFP region was higher in winter than that in summer. And the heavily polluted area in BSFP region shrinked noticeably in summer, compared with winter. As for source apportionment of PM2.5, residential and remaining industrial sectors constituted the top two sources of PM2.5 mass concentrations in Beijing. In addition, agricultural source represented a major contributor to ammonium, whereas transportation and power sectors constituted major sources to nitrates. In terms of contributions from sub-regions, the local sources ranked as the dominant contributors to PM2.5 in Beijing, while the main external contributions originated from the surrounding areas, such as Hebei and Shandong. Results of daily source apportionment to PM2.5 in Beijing showed that sub-regional long-distance transport became stronger when haze pollution was severe, in which contribution from remaining industrial sector would be higher than that of other periods. The results will allow for an improved understanding of the causes and origins of heavy regional PM2.5 pollution, and thus will benefit the development of effective joint control policies and identification of key polluting emission categories in North China and ultimately serve as references for other highly polluted megacities in the world.
