Spatial and temporal variations in criteria air pollutants in three typical terrain regions in Shaanxi, China, during 2015. Xu, Y., Ying, Q., Hu, J., Gao, Y., Yang, Y., Wang, D., & Zhang, H. AIR QUALITY ATMOSPHERE AND HEALTH, 11(1):95-109, SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, GEWERBESTRASSE 11, CHAM, CH-6330, SWITZERLAND, JAN, 2018. doi abstract bibtex Numerous studies have investigated air pollution in severely polluted plains, but the characteristics of pollutants are not well understood in other terrain regions. In this study, air pollution characteristics were analyzed in three typical terrain regions (plateau, plain, and mountain regions) in Shaanxi, based on hourly ambient monitoring of particulate matter with diameter less than 2.5 mu m (PM2.5) and less than 10 mu m (PM10), CO, SO2, NO2, and O-3 in 2015. PM2.5 and PM10 were the dominant pollutants in three regions, and their annual concentrations exceeded the Grade II standards by 9.4-68.6 and 6.0-73.9%, respectively. PM2.5, PM10, CO, SO2, and NO2 concentrations had similar seasonal trends with highest values in winter and lowest values in summer, whereas O-3 concentrations exhibited the opposite trend. Guanzhong Plain had higher PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and SO2 concentrations but lower CO, 1-h peak O-3, and 8-h peak O-3 (8 h-O-3) compared to other regions. PM2.5, PM10, and 8 h-O-3 were the three main dominant pollutants. The nonattainment rate was highest in winter and lowest in summer or autumn. Pollution also exhibited synergy, especially in the plateau region and Guanzhong Plain. PM2.5 was significantly correlated with PM10. NO2 and SO2 were positively correlated with PM2.5 and PM10, while 8 h-O-3 generally had significant negative correlations with other pollutants, especially in the winter.

Abstract = {{Numerous studies have investigated air pollution in severely polluted
plains, but the characteristics of pollutants are not well understood in
other terrain regions. In this study, air pollution characteristics were
analyzed in three typical terrain regions (plateau, plain, and mountain
regions) in Shaanxi, based on hourly ambient monitoring of particulate
matter with diameter less than 2.5 mu m (PM2.5) and less than 10 mu m
(PM10), CO, SO2, NO2, and O-3 in 2015. PM2.5 and PM10 were the dominant
pollutants in three regions, and their annual concentrations exceeded
the Grade II standards by 9.4-68.6 and 6.0-73.9\%, respectively. PM2.5,
PM10, CO, SO2, and NO2 concentrations had similar seasonal trends with
highest values in winter and lowest values in summer, whereas O-3
concentrations exhibited the opposite trend. Guanzhong Plain had higher
PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and SO2 concentrations but lower CO, 1-h peak O-3, and
8-h peak O-3 (8 h-O-3) compared to other regions. PM2.5, PM10, and 8
h-O-3 were the three main dominant pollutants. The nonattainment rate
was highest in winter and lowest in summer or autumn. Pollution also
exhibited synergy, especially in the plateau region and Guanzhong Plain.
PM2.5 was significantly correlated with PM10. NO2 and SO2 were
positively correlated with PM2.5 and PM10, while 8 h-O-3 generally had
significant negative correlations with other pollutants, especially in
the winter. These results provide a comprehensive understanding of
