Source-specific ozone formation in the Pearl River Delta: Insights from direct measurement at two sites with distinct environmental characteristics
Ozone (O3) precursor volatile organic compounds (VOCs) show region- and source-dependent variability. Current models often underestimate O3 production due to incomplete reaction mechanisms, highlighting the need for direct measurement techniques to quantify the photochemical O3. In this study, we measured net photochemical O3 production rate (P(O3)net) at two sites with distinct environmental characteristics in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region using a custom-made Net Photochemical O3 Production Rate (NPOPR) detection system: the Guangdong Atmospheric Supersite of China in Heshan (Heshan site) and the Tianhu Atmospheric Environment Monitoring Station (Tianhu site). By using a Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model, we identified solvent volatilization, oil and gas volatilization, petrochemical releases, and biogenic sources at both sites, while mobile and combustion sources were only identified at the Heshan site. We then linked the O3 formation potential (OFP) and VOC reactivity (kOH) of different VOCs emission sources directly to the measured P(O3)net. Results showed that anthropogenic sources drove P(O3)net at Heshan site, including solvent volatilization, combustion, oil and gas volatilization, and petrochemical. In contrast, biogenic emissions drove P(O3)net at the Tianhu site. The results reflect the different dominant emission sources in instantaneous photochemical O3 formation at distinct environmental sites. Further quantitative methods are needed to check the dominate contributing sources to the O3 pollution at these two sites. It is of great significance to implement pollution source emission control measures that are tailored to local conditions for the prevention and control of O3 pollution.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
