From January to June 2023, the pollution characteristics, source apportionment, and ozone formation potential(OFP)of VOCs were studied, and the results of a comparative analysis were also discussed between heating and non-heating periods. The results indicated that VOC concentrations from January to June 2023 were (104.21 ± 91.31) μg·m<sup>-3</sup> on average. The concentrations of TVOCs under the influence of southerly and northerly winds were (214.18 ± 202.37) μg·m<sup>-3</sup> and (197.56 ± 188.3) μg·m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. Alkanes were the species with the highest average concentration and proportion, respectively (45.53 ± 41.43) μg·m<sup>-3</sup>. The VOC concentration during the heating period was higher than those during the non-heating period, with values of (111.57 ± 83.96) μg·m<sup>-3</sup> and (87.92 ± 75.03) μg·m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. Propane and ethane were the species with the highest average concentration during the heating period.

The source apportionment results based on the positive matrix factorization (PMF) model indicated that the major sources of VOCs in the park during the monitoring period were printing emission sources (4.95%), oil and gas evaporation sources (9.52%), fuel combustion sources (15.44%), traffic emissions sources (18.97%), electronic equipment manufacturing (24.59%), and industrial painting sources (26.52%). Therefore, industrial painting sources, electronic equipment manufacturing sources, and traffic emissions sources were the emission sources that the park should focus on controlling.

In this study, 1990, before the implementation of the project, was selected as the starting year of the research period, and 2020, after the implementation of the two rounds of the project, was selected as the end year of the research period. Based on the ecosystem type data from 1990 to 2020, the InVEST model was used to calculate the soil carbon pool, underground carbon pool, below carbon pool, dead organic matter carbon pool, and total carbon storage of ecosystems in the Yellow River Basin and the area where the project was implemented from 1990 to 2020.

Based on the classification system of \"urban-agricultural-ecological\" territorial spatial planning and with the help of multi-source data, including land use, population density, nighttime light, road network, precipitation, and county statistical data from 2010 to 2020, we constructed an evaluation index system of territorial space functions at the grid scale in the Poyang Lake Ecological Economic Zone. The coupling coordination levels among territorial space functions was measured using the coupling coordination degree model and spatial autocorrelation analysis. Moreover, the multi-dimensional function conflict identification model was used to diagnose the type and intensity of function conflicts. The results showed that: ① The urban function was mainly improved, accounting for 75.67%. The grids with high function evaluation index were mainly located in the south of the study area, whereas the intensity of urban function improvement in the north was higher than that in the south. Otherwise, the agricultural and ecological functions were mainly reduced, accounting for 77.44 % and 57.66%, respectively, and the majority of grids with a significant decrease were distributed in the south of Poyang Lake. ② From 2010 to 2020, the coupling coordination type was dominated by an imbalance recession, accounting for 53.87% and 49.89 %, respectively. However, the number of grids with crucial imbalance and primary coordination was reduced, and the coupling coordination types tended to change from both ends to the middle. The coupling coordination hot spots were mainly concentrated in the southern plain, whereas the cold spots were mainly distributed in the northern mountainous and hilly areas, both of which showed a reducing trend. However, in the north of Poyang Lake, a small number of hot spots, distributed along the lake area with relatively flat terrain, showed an expanding trend. ③ The intensity of four territorial space function conflicts was mainly moderate or severe.

The results showed that the stagnant meteorological conditions and high temperature during the observation period were suitable for the photochemical production of ozone, which led to widespread and prolonged ozone pollution. Aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) contributed the most to the ozone formation potential (OFP), and <i>m</i>/<i>p</i>-xylene, toluene, and <i>o</i>-xylene were the major three VOC species contributing to the OFP. Box model analysis revealed that the averaged net O<sub>3</sub> production rate during the polluted period was 23.2×10<sup>-9</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> and the peak reached 39.2×10<sup>-9</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>. The HO<sub>2</sub>·+NO and NO<sub>2</sub>+·OH reaction pathways contributed the most to the local photochemical ozone production (51.2%) and destruction (47.0%), respectively. Observed ozone concentration was primarily controlled by both the local photochemical O<sub>3</sub> production and the export-dominated transport. The RIR and EKMA analyses showed that O<sub>3</sub> formation in Guangzhou during the summer-autumn transition seasons was mainly a VOC-limited regime and AHs showed the greatest sensitivity to O<sub>3</sub> production. Toluene, <i>m</i>/<i>p</i>-xylene, <i>o</i>-xylene, <i>n</i>-butane, and propylene were the five key components affecting O<sub>3</sub> generation. The analysis of reduction scenarios showed that reducing anthropogenic VOC emissions was the most favorable way to reduce O<sub>3</sub> concentrations; however, if NO<i><sub>x</sub></i> emission was controlled after reducing VOCs, the O<sub>3</sub> concentration would rebound in a short time. Our results suggested that the synergistic reduction of VOCs and NO<i><sub>x</sub></i> while mainly focusing on VOCs alleviation should be implemented to continuously reduce ozone concentrations in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":35937,"journal":{"name":"Huanjing Kexue/Environmental Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142509595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
