Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air pollution prevention and control, and in particular relates to a method and device for precise source tracing and analysis of atmospheric ozone pollution. Background Technology
[0002] Ground-level ozone is a secondary pollutant, formed by complex photochemical reactions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) under sunlight. In my country, ozone pollution in suburban areas and urban clusters is generally controlled by VOCs, while in rural areas it is controlled by NOx.
[0003] Accurate source tracing of key VOCs components involved in ozone formation is crucial. However, given the wide range and diversity of VOCs sources, quickly and accurately identifying key VOCs pollution sources for ozone control remains a significant technical challenge. Current techniques primarily rely on theoretical calculations of ozone formation potential to screen key VOCs components, but they do not consider the impact of actual formation conditions on VOCs' participation in photochemical reactions. Furthermore, while current VOCs source apportionment methods can identify industry contributions, they cannot pinpoint specific pollution sources, thus failing to provide adequate technical support for environmental management. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology and to provide a method and device for precise source tracing and analysis of atmospheric ozone pollution.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0006] A precise source tracing analysis method for atmospheric ozone pollution, the analysis method comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Based on the concentration data of each species of VOCs among multiple species monitored at ambient air quality monitoring points, determine the ozone generation potential of each species.
[0008] Step 2: Based on the concentration data of each species of VOCs and the ozone concentration data monitored at the ambient air quality monitoring points, determine the ozone generation reactivity of each species.
[0009] Step 3: Based on the ozone generation potential and ozone generation reactivity of each species among the multiple VOCs detected at ambient air quality monitoring points, key VOC species for ozone generation are screened out.
[0010] Step 4: Conduct mobile VOCs monitoring around ambient air quality monitoring points, and carry out automatic offline sampling and laboratory analysis at high TVOC points;
[0011] Step 5: Based on the comparison of VOCs components corresponding to key VOCs species for ozone formation at ambient air quality monitoring sites and VOCs components at sampling sites, combined with meteorological information data and the VOCs fingerprint database of emissions from pollution sources around the sampling sites, determine the key pollution sources for ozone formation at ambient air quality monitoring sites.
[0012] Step three specifically includes: selecting the first target species with the highest ozone generation potential (ranked M) and the second target species with the highest absolute value of ozone generation reactivity (ranked N) from the multiple species of VOCs; wherein M and N are both integers not less than 1, and selecting VOC species belonging to both the first and second target species as key VOC species for ozone generation at ambient air quality monitoring points.
[0013] The present invention also provides a device for precise source tracing and analysis of atmospheric ozone pollution, the device comprising:
[0014] The first monitoring module is used to determine the ozone generation potential of each of the multiple species of VOCs monitored at ambient air quality monitoring points.
[0015] The second monitoring module is used to determine the ozone generation reactivity of each species based on the concentration data of each species among multiple species of VOCs and the ozone concentration data monitored at the ambient air quality monitoring points.
[0016] The screening unit is used to jointly screen out key VOC species for ozone generation based on the ozone generation potential and ozone generation reactivity of each species among multiple species of VOCs detected at ambient air quality monitoring points.
[0017] The third monitoring module is used to conduct mobile monitoring of VOCs around ambient air quality monitoring points, and to carry out automatic offline sampling and laboratory analysis of high TVOC points to obtain the concentration data of each species among multiple species of VOCs at the sampling points.
[0018] The precise source tracing module is used to identify the pollution sources affecting ozone pollution at monitoring points based on key VOCs components for ozone generation at monitoring points, VOCs component information at sampling points, meteorological data, and a fingerprint database of VOCs emitted by pollution sources around the sampling points.
[0019] The filtering unit specifically includes:
[0020] The first screening module is used to screen out the first target species with the top M ozone generation potential from multiple species of VOCs; where M is an integer not less than 1.
[0021] The second screening module is used to screen out the second target species from the multiple species of the VOCs, which ranks in the top N in terms of absolute value of ozone generation reactivity; where N is an integer not less than 1.
[0022] The third screening module is used to identify VOC species that are included in both the first and second target species as key VOC species for ozone generation at ambient air quality monitoring points.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0024] This invention screens key VOCs components based on the ozone generation potential of each species of VOCs component and the correlation between the concentration of each species of VOCs component and the change in ozone concentration. The screened key VOCs components can actually represent the significant contribution of the key VOCs component to ozone generation.
[0025] This invention identifies target VOC species by screening key VOCs components for ozone formation at ambient air quality monitoring sites. It then conducts mobile VOCs monitoring in the areas surrounding the monitoring sites using a vehicle-mounted VOCs mobile monitoring method. High-TVOC levels are detected, automatically triggering offline sampling using a somnambulism canister. VOCs components are determined using the national laboratory standard method. By comparing the key VOCs components for ozone formation at the monitoring sites with those at the sampling sites, and combining meteorological data and a list of pollutant emissions from surrounding pollution sources, the invention accurately pinpoints key pollution sources for ozone formation under control.
[0026] This invention provides a more comprehensive analysis of atmospheric ozone pollution, accurately identifying specific pollution sources and better providing technical support for environmental management. Attached Figure Description
