Abstract:
To clarify the characteristics and sources of PM
2.5 pollution in Suizhou City,based on PM
2.5 monitoring data in 2023,combined with the source analysis data in 2018,this paper analyzed the change characteristics of PM
2.5 in the past five years,and predicted the future change trend.The results show that the average annual concentration of PM
2.5 in Suizhou City was 41 μg/m
3,showing a U-shaped seasonal variation pattern.After component reconstruction,the ratio of the reconstructed mass concentration to the PM
2.5 mass concentration fell within the range of 0.7-1.2 for 90.9% of the data,with a correlation coefficient of 0.96,indicating that the data were valid and reliable.The average proportions of SNA,OM,EC,crustal matter and trace elements in the reconstruction were 34.2%,26.7%,2.5%,17.8% and 6.6%,respectively.Water-soluble ions (WSI) accounted for 43.6% of PM
2.5,with SNA as the main component,accounting for 88.6% on average,and the proportion gradually increased with worsening pollution.The annual mean value of
ρ(NO
3-)/
ρ(SO
42-) was greater than 1,indicating a significant influence from mobile sources.Total carbon (TC) accounted for 17.7% of PM
2.5,with primary organic carbon (POC) in spring and winter,and secondary organic carbon (SOC) dominating in summer and autumn.The PMF model resolved 7 pollution factors,with secondary source and mobile source identified as the main pollution sources,but characteristics varied across seasons and pollution levels.Compared with 2018,the concentration of PM
2.5 and gaseous pollutants (except O
3) in Suizhou City showed a decreasing trend in 2023,the proportion of WSI in the chemical components increased by 19.7%,while TC decreased by 41.2%,reflecting significant changes in pollution sources.It is predicted that the main source of PM
2.5 remains the secondary source in Suizhou City in the future,with its proportion likely to increase further.Industrial/coal combustion sources are expected to decline,and photochemical pollution may intensify,and strengthening the management and control of mobile sources and VOCs will become the primary task to reduce PM
2.5 in the future.
