The spatiotemporal distribution pattern and influencing factors of PM 2.5 in Shaanxi Province
PM2.5 is the main culprit causing haze in multiple provinces and cities in China. Clarifying its spatiotemporal distribution pattern and clarifying its influencing factors has profound implications for the comprehensive management of haze. Based on PM2.5 concentration data from 50 monitoring stations in Shaanxi Province in 2015, spatial data statistics, Kriging interpolation, and Morlet wavelet analysis were used to study the spatiotemporal distribution pattern of PM2.5 concentration in Shaanxi Province, And the grey correlation model was used to explore the influencing factors of PM2.5 concentration. The results showed that: ① the overall PM2.5 concentration in Shaanxi Province showed a seasonal variation pattern of 'high in winter, low in summer, and middle in spring and autumn', a monthly variation pattern of 'U-shaped' fluctuations, a daily variation pattern of periodic pulse fluctuations, and a temporal variation pattern of 'W-shaped' fluctuations; ② The concentration of PM2.5 in Shaanxi Province exhibits a spatial distribution characteristic of 'low in the north and high in the central and southern regions', with significant spatial agglomeration. High value areas in different seasons are concentrated in cities within the Guanzhong Basin with relatively low elevations. This is closely related to the difficulty of air diffusion within the basin, the high frequency of calm and stable weather, and the susceptibility to temperature inversion; ③ The indicator layer with the greatest impact on PM2.5 concentration in Shaanxi Province is the source of PM2.5 pollution (with a weight value of 0.49), followed by urbanization and land use (with a weight value of 0.37), and meteorological and topographic factors have the smallest impact (with a weight value of 0.15). The comprehensive correlation degree of each indicator layer in different cities varies greatly All indicator factors are strongly correlated with PM2.5 concentration. Precipitation, motor vehicle ownership, sulfur dioxide emissions, smoke (dust) emissions, built-up area, population density, and per capita GDP are the main factors affecting PM2.5 concentration in Shaanxi Province. The main factors affecting PM2.5 concentration in various cities have certain spatial differences. Research shows that human activities have a significant impact on PM2.5 in Shaanxi Province, especially with the rapid advancement of urbanization, The continuous growth of relevant indicators such as population, motor vehicles, energy consumption, and total industrial output value will further increase the diversity of PM2.5 sources and the emissions of related pollutants
