Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air pollution control technology, specifically to a risk-oriented method and system for comprehensive VOCs source tracing in industrial parks. Background Technology
[0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pose a serious threat to ambient air quality, human health, climate change, and the ecological environment through direct or indirect effects. Furthermore, some VOCs emitted by industry (such as benzene compounds, organic sulfur compounds, aldehydes, ketones, and esters) produce foul odors, which have become a major source of public complaints in recent years. With the development of urban industrialization, industrial production activities are widely recognized as the main anthropogenic source of VOCs emissions, accounting for more than 50% of all anthropogenic VOCs emissions. Industrial parks, as the main carriers of modern industrial development, are characterized by huge and concentrated pollutant emissions, making them a very important source of VOCs emissions.
[0003] Industrial parks are home to numerous VOCs-emitting enterprises, with complex and intertwined sources of VOCs emissions. VOCs control policies are typically formulated based on subjective judgments derived from enterprise environmental data, pollution collection and treatment status, and the operational status of treatment facilities, leading to significant uncertainty. Clearly, this approach is insufficient to meet the current needs for refined VOCs control in industrial parks. Furthermore, there are currently no mature VOCs source apportionment technologies applicable to the industrial park scale. Current ambient air VOCs source apportionment technologies only provide a rough and broad-based source apportionment result, which also carries inherent uncertainties, making it difficult for these results to effectively support the formulation of VOCs control policies for industrial parks.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a risk-oriented comprehensive VOCs source tracing method for industrial parks, which can accurately trace the sources of VOCs in industrial parks, reduce uncertainty, and improve the ability of industrial parks to refine pollutant management. Summary of the Invention
[0005] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a risk-oriented comprehensive VOCs source tracing method for industrial parks, which can accurately trace the sources of VOCs in industrial parks, reduce uncertainty, and improve the refined management and control capabilities of pollutants in industrial parks.
[0006] The basic solution provided by this invention is a risk-oriented comprehensive VOCs source tracing method for industrial parks, which includes the following:
[0007] S1. Establish monitoring points in the industrial park to be monitored;
[0008] S2. Set the monitoring elements for the monitoring points, and use the preset monitoring methods to monitor the monitoring points and monitor the monitoring elements.
[0009] S3. Set risk factors, and based on the monitored factors, conduct risk factor assessments and generate risk factor assessment results.
[0010] S4. Conduct quantitative source tracing of risk sources and generate quantitative source tracing results; among which, quantitative source tracing of risk sources includes: PMF source apportionment, receptor and pollutant source component profile matching, comprehensive contribution assessment of risk sources, and spatial matching of risk sources;
[0011] S5. Conduct risk assessment uncertainty and sensitivity analysis on the risk factor assessment results and the quantitative traceability results of risk sources, and generate risk assessment uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results;
[0012] S6. Based on the risk factor assessment results, the quantitative source tracing results of risk sources, and the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results of risk assessment, adopt IMTs to formulate a comprehensive emission reduction method for VOCs in industrial parks.
[0013] S4 includes: S401, based on the risk factor assessment results, using the PMF model to perform PMF analysis, generating VOCs source composition profiles, and identifying primary pollution sources among the pollution sources; pollution sources include primary pollution sources and secondary pollution sources, where primary pollution sources are industry types; and secondary pollution sources are the various emission links included in the primary pollution sources.
[0014] S403. Using a multiple linear regression model, the VOCs source composition spectrum obtained from PMF analysis is matched twice with the measured VOCs source composition spectrum of each primary pollution source including the secondary pollution sources. The relationship between the VOCs source composition spectrum of each secondary pollution source and the VOCs source composition spectrum obtained from PMF analysis is obtained, and the risk allocation results of the secondary sources are obtained.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this scheme are as follows: Based on the full identification of pollution sources and environmental receptors, this scheme aims to mitigate the health risks, environmental risks, and odor nuisance risks caused by VOCs emissions from industrial parks. It couples multiple VOCs source tracing methods to quantify source apportionment results down to the enterprise's production workshop / production line and calculates the maximum allowable concentration of VOCs at specific locations (without causing the above three risks) to determine the emission reduction rate of VOCs species for enterprises in various industries. This provides data support for the accurate source tracing of VOCs in industrial parks, while adhering to the principles of environmental priority and people-centeredness, and promoting the precise control and refined emission reduction of VOCs in industrial parks.
[0016] Specifically, this plan sets up detailed monitoring points and elements, and sets up corresponding monitoring methods. Based on the monitoring results, various subsequent analyses are conducted, including risk factor assessment, quantitative source tracing, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. Based on the risk factor assessment results, quantitative source tracing results, and uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results, IMTs are used to formulate a comprehensive VOCs emission reduction method for industrial parks. Among them, the quantitative source tracing also sets up a two-level pollution source analysis. Compared with the traditional analysis that can only determine the industry type (first-level pollution source), this plan also uses a multiple linear regression model to perform a secondary matching between the VOCs source composition spectrum obtained by PMF analysis and the measured VOCs source composition spectrum of each second-level pollution source, to obtain the relationship between the VOCs source composition spectrum of each second-level pollution source and the VOCs source composition spectrum of PMF analysis, and to obtain the risk allocation results of second-level sources, thereby improving the accuracy and pertinence of risk source analysis in industrial parks.
[0017] In summary, this solution enables precise source tracing of VOCs in industrial parks, reduces uncertainty, and improves the ability to manage pollutants in industrial parks with precision.
[0018] The second objective of this invention is to provide a risk-oriented VOCs comprehensive source tracing system for industrial parks, which can accurately trace the sources of VOCs in industrial parks, reduce uncertainty, and improve the refined management and control capabilities of pollutants in industrial parks.
[0019] The present invention provides a second basic solution: a risk-oriented VOCs comprehensive traceability system for industrial parks, which adopts the above-mentioned risk-oriented VOCs comprehensive traceability method for industrial parks. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:
[0025] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1 As shown: A risk-oriented comprehensive VOCs source tracing method for industrial parks includes the following:
[0026] S1. In the industrial park to be monitored, monitoring points are set up; the monitoring points include: monitoring points for environmental receptors and monitoring points for pollution sources; the monitoring points for environmental receptors also serve as monitoring points for meteorological data.
[0027] Specifically, the monitoring of VOCs, an environmental receptor in the industrial park, adopts high-resolution online monitoring. The monitoring points are set up in a grid pattern according to the relevant requirements in the "Technical Specification for the Layout of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Points (Trial)" (HJ-664).
[0028] Considering the diffusion and transmission patterns of air pollutants and their impact on ambient air quality, the range of monitoring points set up in pollution accumulation areas is generally 100 to 500 meters in radius; when considering the impact of point sources with higher emission heights on point concentrations, the radius can be expanded to 500 to 4 kilometers.
[0029] The grid-based monitoring network for VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the industrial park will be deployed based on specific needs, taking into account the following key points:
[0030] (1) In industrial parks where pollution is concentrated, pollution monitoring points should be set up in areas with high concentrations that are likely to cause human health and areas that may have a significant impact on ambient air quality.
[0031] (2) For grid points with high emission intensity and major polluting items, they should be set up in the maximum ground-level concentration area downwind of the dominant wind direction and the second wind direction (generally the dominant risk of the most polluted season).
[0032] (3) Based on the prevailing wind direction of the industrial park, set up background monitoring points at the upwind position of the perimeter of the industrial park.
[0033] The monitoring of pollution sources covers all industry types within the industrial park, selecting representative enterprises from each industry type for monitoring. Sampling methods are divided into organized sampling and fugitive sampling. Organized sampling covers all air emission outlets of polluting enterprises, and the determination of sampling points and locations follows the relevant provisions of GB / T 16157 "Methods for Determination of Particulate Matter and Sampling of Gaseous Pollutants in Exhaust Gas from Stationary Sources" and HJ / T 397 "Technical Specifications for Monitoring Exhaust Gas from Stationary Sources". Fugitive emission sampling covers important fugitive VOC emission points of enterprises, such as workshops, production lines, storage tanks, and wastewater treatment ponds. These sampling points differ from those specified in relevant standards; the purpose of fugitive sampling is to identify the VOC composition characteristics of important fugitive emission points of enterprises. Therefore, fugitive sampling points must be located at the direct occurrence of fugitive VOC emissions, such as workshop ventilation vents, major fugitive emission points on production lines, leaks in storage tanks, and open liquid surfaces in wastewater treatment ponds. In addition, atmospheric VOC samples can be collected at the center of the plant boundary to characterize the atmospheric VOC pollution characteristics of the industry area.
[0034] S2. Set the monitoring elements for the monitoring points, and use the preset monitoring methods to monitor the monitoring points and monitor the monitoring elements.
[0035] The monitoring elements are based on the environmental and health risk characteristics of VOCs components and are monitored in accordance with the VOCs components recommended in the "2018 Monitoring Plan for Volatile Organic Compounds in Ambient Air in Key Areas" issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. These include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons, oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs), halogenated hydrocarbons, etc. Specifically, a detailed list of monitoring elements is shown in Table 1 below.
[0036] The pre-set monitoring methods include: environmental receptor monitoring methods and pollution source monitoring methods;
[0037] The environmental receptor monitoring methods are as follows:
[0038] The monitoring of VOCs in the industrial park environment utilizes gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS-FID) or equivalent equipment to carry out high-resolution continuous automatic sample acquisition and analysis over a preset time period; the quality assurance and quality control procedures adopted during the online monitoring process are implemented in accordance with the "Technical Requirements and Test Methods for Continuous Monitoring Systems of Volatile Organic Compounds in Ambient Air by Gas Chromatography" (HJ1010-2018).
[0039] Pollution source monitoring methods include: sample collection methods and sample analysis methods, as detailed below:
[0040] The sample collection method is as follows:
[0041] Pollution source monitoring used Summa tanks and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine derivative (DNPH) absorption tubes / absorption solutions to collect samples from pollution source emission outlets and fugitive emissions;
[0042] Under normal operating conditions of polluting enterprises, emission samples are collected from the sampling port at the back end of the waste gas treatment facility;
[0043] Before sample collection, the initial concentration of TVOCs in the exhaust gas was measured using a portable volatile organic compound (PID) detector.
[0044] When the TVOC concentration is higher than the preset concentration index, the sample in the Summa tank needs to be diluted by a certain factor before component analysis can be performed on GC-MS / FID, in order to avoid excessive TVOC concentration contamination of the analysis system and excessive dilution of VOC concentration below the method detection limit; the preset concentration index is set according to the requirements, and in this embodiment the preset concentration index is 10 ppmv.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, organized emissions of waste gas are collected by a sampling gun. The sampling gun should have the functions of removing particles and heating. After the stable organic waste gas flow is filtered and heated, the VOCs in the Summa tank are collected in a timed and quantitative manner by a flow / pressure controller. The VOCs in the DNPH absorbent are collected in a timed and quantitative manner by a flow controller.
[0046] Samples from organized emissions are collected at equal time intervals within a preset time period using a Summa canister and DNPH absorbent solution, with a preset number of samples each. The preset time period and preset number range are set according to requirements. In this embodiment, the preset time period is 1 hour and the preset number range is 3 to 4.
[0047] If the organized emissions are intermittent, a preset number of samples will be collected at equal time intervals during the high-intensity emission period; high-intensity emissions are defined as when the enterprise's production load is higher than 80% and the polluting process continues to operate normally.
[0048] Unorganized emissions and VOCs samples from the center of the plant boundary were collected using a Summa tank and a DNPH absorption tube. Under stable production conditions, the Summa tank was equipped with a flow limiting valve and the DNPH absorption tube was equipped with a flow controller for continuous sampling for a preset time. A preset number of samples were collected from each Summa tank and DNPH absorption tube at each location. The preset time and preset number of samples were set according to requirements. In this embodiment, the preset time was 1 hour and the preset number of samples was 3.
[0049] The sample analysis method is as follows:
[0050] Samples with excessively high VOC concentrations collected by the SUMMA canister must be diluted a certain factor in the laboratory before analysis. The diluted concentration must be controlled within a preset range. The analytical methods and quality assurance and control measures are performed in accordance with HJ 759-2015, "Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds in Ambient Air: Canister Sampling / Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry". The preset concentration range is set according to requirements; in this example, it is 0.1–10 ppmv.
[0051] VOCs samples collected by DNPH adsorption solution / adsorption tube need to be pretreated before analysis on the instrument.
[0052] After pretreatment, a sample of a preset volume is transferred to a vial and then analyzed using HPLC; the preset volume is set according to requirements, and in this example it is 2 mL.
[0053] Sample pretreatment methods and high-performance liquid chromatograph operating conditions shall be performed in accordance with the national standard methods (HJ683-2014 and HJ 1153-2020);
[0054] The pretreated samples were analyzed according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) TO-11A method and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC, Shimadzu).
[0055] S3. Set risk factors, and based on the monitored factors, conduct risk factor assessments and generate risk factor assessment results.
[0056] The primary indicators of risk factors are mainly divided into two categories: health risks and environmental effect risks.
[0057] In this plan, health risks refer to the risks to human health caused by the pathogenicity, carcinogenicity, and odor pollution resulting from VOCs emitted from industrial parks into the atmosphere.
[0058] Environmental impact risk refers to the direct or indirect effects of VOCs emissions from industrial parks into the atmospheric environment, leading to risks such as air quality decline, climate change, and ozone layer depletion.
[0059] Secondary indicators of health risk include: hazard entropy (HI), lifetime cancer risk (LCR), and odor activity value (OAV);
[0060] The secondary indicators of environmental impact risk include: ozone formation potential (OFP) and secondary organic aerosol formation potential (SOAFP).
[0061] The VOC species involved in each secondary indicator and the risks they pose are different. Industrial parks can select secondary indicators as risk assessment elements according to the purpose of VOCs control and the focus of prevention and control. The risk elements involved in the monitored VOC species are shown in Table 1.

[0072] This includes risk factor assessment based on the monitored elements, specifically including:
[0073] OFP represents the maximum contribution of different VOC species to ozone formation under optimal reaction conditions, and is calculated using the following formula:
[0074] OFP i =C i ×MIR i ;
[0075] In the formula, OFP i C represents the ozone formation potential of VOCs species i, dimensionless; i Indicates the concentration of VOCs species i during the monitoring period, in μg·m⁻³; MIR i MIR represents the maximum reaction increment of VOC species i. i The values are referenced in Table 2;

[0080]
[0081]
[0082]
[0083] SOAFP represents the ability of different VOC species to form secondary organic aerosols (SOAs), and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0084] SOAFP i =C i ×Y SOA,i ;
[0085] In the formula, SOAFP i The secondary organic aerosol formation potential of VOCs species i is expressed in μg·m⁻³; C i Y represents the concentration of VOCs species i during the monitoring period, in μg·m⁻³; YSOA,i represents the SOA yield of VOCs species i, in μg·m⁻³. SOA,i The values are referenced in Table 2.
[0086] Hazard entropy (HQ) of specific VOC species i The hazard entropy (HI) of all VOC species accumulation is calculated using the following formula:
[0087]
[0088] In the formula, HQ i The non-cancer inhalation hazard entropy (HQ) for a specific VOC species i is generally considered to be... i A value greater than 1 indicates that inhaling the substance may have adverse health effects; REL i It is the reference exposure level for species i, REL i See Table 3 for reference.

[0091]
[0092] Carcinogenic risk of specific VOC species (LCR) i The cumulative carcinogenic risk (LCR) of all VOC species is calculated using the following formula:

[0094]
[0095] In the formula, LCR iFor the carcinogenic risk of a specific VOC species i; DOSEdaily represents the daily inhaled dose of harmful VOCs (unit: mg·kg⁻¹·d⁻¹), calculated from the concentration of species i (C i It is obtained by multiplying the normalized respiratory rate (BR / BW, L·kg⁻¹·d⁻¹), inhalation absorption factor (A, dimensionless), and exposure frequency (EF, %); CSF i , where is the inhaled cancer slope factor for species i, dimensionless; ASFa is the sensitivity coefficient, dimensionless; EDa, AT, and FAHa are the exposure duration (years), lifetime exposure time (years), and time at home (dimensionless), respectively; the exposure parameters involved in the formula for each age group a are shown in Appendix 4 and Appendix 5.

[0101] Odor activity value (OAV) describes the odor intensity of a single odor substance; this value is defined as the ratio between the concentration of a compound and its odor threshold.

[0107] S4. Conduct quantitative source tracing of risk sources and generate quantitative source tracing results; among which, quantitative source tracing of risk sources includes: PMF source apportionment, comprehensive contribution assessment of risk sources, matching of receptor and pollution source composition profiles, and spatial matching of risk sources;
[0108] Specifically, based on the risk factor assessment results, the PMF model is used to perform PMF analysis, generate VOCs source composition profiles, and identify primary pollution sources. These pollution sources include primary and secondary pollution sources. Primary pollution sources are industry types, such as petrochemicals, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and automobile manufacturing. Secondary pollution sources are the various emission stages included in the primary pollution sources, i.e., the emission environment under each industry type (see Table 7). The identification of primary pollution sources is achieved by obtaining VOCs source composition profiles from various sources. Different industries have different pollutant contents in their VOCs source composition profiles, thus determining the industry to which the VOCs source composition profile belongs.
[0109] Based on the VOCs source composition profiles of various pollution sources analyzed by the PMF model, as well as the primary pollution sources, the absolute concentration values of species in each primary pollution source are used to quantify the contribution of primary pollution sources to environmental and health risks.
[0110] A multiple linear regression model was used to perform a secondary matching between the VOCs source composition spectrum obtained from PMF analysis and the measured VOCs source composition spectrum of each primary pollution source, including the secondary pollution sources. This yielded the relationship between the VOCs source composition spectrum of each secondary pollution source (each emission stage of the polluting industry) and the VOCs source composition spectrum obtained from PMF analysis. This further refined the risk sources and obtained the risk allocation results for secondary sources. Pollution sources containing the defined risk elements were identified as risk sources.
[0111] The risk source allocation results were verified by conditional bivariate probability function (CBPF) analysis, and the impact of risk sources under different wind directions and speeds was identified, as well as the spatial distribution of the main sources of different risk factors.
[0112] The risk source allocation results include: the risk allocation results of primary and secondary pollution sources among the identified pollution sources;
[0113] Among them, risk factors are VOC species involved in risk elements; risk sources identified by matching receptors with pollution sources are identified based on the coupling relationship between data; CBPF determines risk sources from meteorological data, the actual spatial distribution of pollution sources, and the spatial distribution of risk factors. The two methods are matched and corroborated to improve the accuracy of risk source identification.
[0114] The details are as follows:
[0115] PMF source resolution:
[0116] The PMF (Orthogonal Matrix Factor) model is a receptor model based on multivariate factor analysis. The model decomposes the receptor sample matrix (i×j dimensions) into a contribution matrix (i×k) and a factor matrix (k×j).
[0117]
[0118] In the formula, x ij It is the contribution of the j-th species in the i-th sample; g ik It is the contribution of the k-th source in the i-th sample; f kj It is the concentration of the j-th species in the k-th source; e ij It is the error fraction;
[0119] The least squares method is used to minimize the objective function Q to derive the factor distribution plot and contribution:
[0120]
[0121] In the formula, U ij It is the uncertainty of each species in each sample.
[0122] To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the model results, the VOC species concentrations input into the PMF model must include all VOC species covered by the selected risk factors. The resulting indicators should meet the following criteria: Qtrue / Qrobust values between 1 and 1.5; a correlation coefficient (R²) greater than 0.6 between monitored and predicted VOC species concentrations; and a normal distribution of VOC species residuals between -3 and 3.
[0123] Receptor-pollution source composition profile matching:
[0124] The PMF model can only obtain preliminary and rough VOCs source allocation results. In order to improve the accuracy and pertinence of risk source analysis in industrial parks, this scheme adopts a multiple linear regression model to perform a secondary matching between the VOCs source composition spectrum obtained by PMF analysis and the VOCs source composition spectrum obtained by actual measurement of pollution sources.
[0125] This scheme quantifies the risk contribution of each primary pollution source to secondary pollution sources (secondary sources include emissions from workshops, production lines, and wastewater treatment, as well as all aspects involving VOCs emissions, including organized and unorganized emissions). It also assesses the accuracy of the PMF model analysis results (i.e., the PMF model execution results) and the representativeness of the VOCs source composition spectrum measurements of the primary pollution sources. The subdivision of secondary pollution sources is determined based on actual emissions; the more comprehensive the coverage of secondary pollution sources by the primary pollution source, the higher the match with the source composition spectrum analyzed from the receptor.
[0126] The role of a multiple linear regression model is to evaluate the effects and contributions of numerous independent variables x to the dependent variable y. In this invention, the VOCs source composition spectrum resolved by the PMF model is used as the dependent variable y, and the VOCs source composition spectra of various secondary pollution sources in the industrial park are used as the dependent variable x. This allows for the assessment of the contribution of each secondary pollution source (e.g., organized and unorganized emissions from workshops, production lines, wastewater treatment plants, boilers, etc.) to environmental receptors. The relationship between the VOCs source composition spectra of each secondary pollution source included in the primary pollution source and the source composition spectra resolved by the PMF can be expressed as:
[0127] y1=a0+a1x 11 +a2x 12 +…+a p x 1p +ε1;
[0128] y2=a0+a1x 21 +a2x 22 +…+a p x 2p +ε2;
[0129] ...
[0130] y n =a0+a1x n1 +a2x n2 +…+a p x np +ε n ;
[0131] In the formula, a0, a1, a2, ..., a p Let ε represent p+1 parameters to be evaluated. i This represents the effect of random factors on y in the i-th trial. i The impact;
[0132] Where a0, a1, a2, ..., a p Estimate using the least squares method, assuming b0, b1, b2, ..., b p They are a0, a1, a2, ..., a p Least squares estimation (regression coefficients) is used to establish a multiple regression equation:
[0133] y1 = b0 + b1x1 + b2x2 + ... + b p x p
[0134] The regression coefficients in the multiple regression equation are calculated using the following formula:
[0135] B = (X'X) -1 X'Y;
[0136] In the formula, B = (b0, b1, b2, ..., b p ) represents the coefficient matrix of the regression equation, and X' is the transpose of X.
[0137] This scheme employs a stepwise regression method to evaluate the relationship between the VOCs source composition spectra of each secondary pollution source in the primary pollution source and the source composition spectra analyzed by PMF. Specifically, the VOCs source composition spectra of each secondary pollution source are introduced one after another as emission variables. When introducing the next emission variable, the previously included variables in the regression model are tested one by one. Variables with minor contributions and significance are removed from the regression model, thus ensuring that each emission variable in the regression model is meaningful to the source composition spectra analyzed by the dependent variable PMF. The stepwise regression model is a type of regression model, and its steps are as follows: Figure 3 As shown:
[0138] The explanatory power parameters of each independent variable (secondary pollution source) obtained by the multiple linear regression model are used to assess the contribution of secondary pollution sources involved in a certain primary pollution source to the VOCs of that primary pollution source identified by environmental receptor sources. Examples of the explanatory power of each dependent variable derived from the multiple linear regression equation are shown in Table 7 below:
[0139] Table 7: Examples of the explanatory power of VOCs source composition profiles on environmental receptors
[0140]
[0141] The regression coefficients are obtained by solving the multiple linear regression model. The absolute value of each VOC species in the source component spectrum representing a certain level of pollution source can be calculated by the following formula, and finally the source component spectrum of the reconstructed first-level pollution source is obtained.
[0142] y i =β0+β1x1+β2x2…+β k x k +ε;
[0143] Correlation analysis between the source component spectra of the reconstructed primary pollution sources and the source component spectra of the primary pollution sources determined by environmental receptor analysis can assess the representativeness of the measured source component spectra of the industry and the accuracy of their contribution to the source component spectra determined by environmental receptor analysis.
[0144]
[0145] In the formula, r(X) sp ,Y sp X represents the source composition spectrum of a reconstructed industry (primary pollution source). sp Source component spectra of Y and environmental receptors sp Correlation coefficient; Cov(X) sp ,Y sp) represents X sp With Y sp covariance; Var[X sp ] and Var[Y sp ] respectively represent X sp With Y sp The variance.
[0146] Comprehensive contribution assessment of risk sources:
[0147] Based on the source composition profiles of various pollution sources analyzed by the PMF model, the absolute concentration values of species in each pollution source are used to quantify the contribution of the pollution source to environmental and health risks:
[0148]
[0149] In the formula, RS k It is the cumulative contribution of risk factor k from a specific pollution source, and can calculate the contributions of five risk factors: OFP, SOAFP, HI, LCR, and OAV. i It is the risk level associated with VOCs species i, V i It is the absolute concentration of VOC species i in the source component spectrum as determined by the PMF model.
[0150] Risk source spatial matching:
[0151] Conditional bivariate probability function (CBPF) analysis was used to verify the risk source allocation results and identify the impact of risk sources under different wind directions and speeds, as well as the spatial distribution of the main sources of different risk factors. The calculations were performed using the following formula:
[0152]
[0153] In the formula, CBPF Δθ,Δu This represents the probability that the risk source contribution exceeds a threshold x within a specific wind direction range Δθ and wind speed range Δu; m Δθ,Δu |C≥x represents the number of instances in the intervals Δθ and Δu where the target parameter exceeds the threshold x; m Δθ,Δu This represents the total number of times the value appears within the interval.
[0154] Based on the results calculated using CBPF, the spatial distribution of various risk sources is allocated onto satellite maps.

[0155] S5. Conduct risk assessment uncertainty and sensitivity analysis on the risk factor assessment results and the quantitative traceability results of risk sources, and generate risk assessment uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results;
[0156] Risk assessments inherently involve uncertainty. The uncertainty of risk sources in the calculation process using the theoretical methods in this scheme includes three aspects of uncertainty transmission: (1) the monitoring concentration of volatile organic compound species (Ci); (2) the parameters used in the risk assessment process; and (3) the source component spectrum (FPi) analyzed by the PMF model.
[0157] Monte Carlo simulation and Crystal Ball software were used to quantify the uncertainty of the results. The VOCs exposure concentrations of environmental receptors are best described by a log-normal distribution, and parameters such as OT, REL, EF, AT, and ED are modeled using a triangular distribution; C i The standard deviation is derived from the monitoring data of environmental receptors. The standard deviations of the VOCs source component spectra obtained from risk factors and PMF are set to 20% and 30% of their average values, respectively. Each simulation is subjected to a preset number of iterations to ensure the convergence and stability of the results. The preset number of iterations is set according to the requirements. In this embodiment, it is set to 10,000. Ten thousand simulation calculations are performed according to the set parameters to ensure the convergence and stability of the results.
[0158] In addition, sensitivity analysis prioritizes the importance of input assumptions in the risk factor assessment results, identifies the most sensitive input variables that have the greatest impact on the results, and provides guidance for developing the best scheme for VOCs control of risk sources.

[0164] S6. Based on the risk factor assessment results, the quantitative source tracing results of risk sources, and the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results of risk assessment, adopt IMTs to formulate a comprehensive emission reduction method for VOCs in industrial parks.
[0165] Using preliminary mitigation targets (IMTs), a comprehensive approach to VOCs emission reduction in industrial parks is developed, providing quantitative emission reduction targets for VOC species, pollution sources, and key VOC emission stages. IMTs can be considered as concentrations calculated backward from risk levels, representing the maximum permissible residence concentration of VOCs on environmental receptors without threatening public health.
[0166] IMTs calculations arbitrarily select risk indicators based on the risk factors that the industrial park itself focuses on.
[0167] The following calculation of IMTs is carried out using health risk indicators and environmental effect risk indicators as examples of VOCs emission reduction objectives.
[0168] If health risk indicators are used as the objective of VOCs emission reduction in industrial parks, then IMTs are calculated using the following formula:
[0169]
[0170] In the formula, OAV target HI target and LCR target These represent the target risk levels for odor pollution, non-carcinogenic risk, and carcinogenic risk, respectively; OAV target HI target and LCR target The values were set to 1, 1, and 1 × 10⁻⁶, respectively, based on the recommendations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). –6 ;
[0171] If environmental impact risk indicators are used as the objective of VOCs emission reduction in industrial parks, then IMTs are calculated using the following formula:
[0172]
[0173] In the formula, OFP target and SOAFP target These represent the target risk levels for ozone formation potential (OFP) and secondary organic aerosol formation potential (SOAPF), respectively. Since there are currently no relevant standards, documents, or regulations to define the target values for OFP and SOAPF, therefore... target and SOAFP target The local industrial park environmental management department can set reasonable target values based on the actual situation;
[0174] The IMT of VOC species was calculated. i Then, observations (Obs) that exceeded these targets during the environmental receptor monitoring period were selected;
[0175] The following formula can be used to calculate the emission reduction rate of VOCs species and their sources at the lowest acceptable risk level:
[0176]
[0177] In the formula, R i Indicates the reduction rate of VOCs species i;
[0178] The contribution rate of VOCs emission reduction from each risk source is calculated using the following formula:
[0179] ERS i,j =R i ×P i,j
[0180] In the formula, ERS i,j P represents the emission reduction contribution rate of risk source j to VOCs species i; i,j This represents the percentage of VOC species i identified in the PMF model in the source component spectrum of risk source j;
[0181] Table 9 below shows examples of VOCs control species and their emission reduction contribution rates for the main emission sources in industrial parks:
[0182] Table 9: Examples of VOCs Controlling Species and Emission Reduction Contribution Rates for Major Emission Sources in Industrial Parks
[0183]
[0184]
[0185] Note: A, B, C, D, E, and F represent the six risk sources identified by the integrated source analysis method.
[0186] Based on the emission reduction rates of different VOC species for each risk source obtained from the comprehensive emission reduction method for risk sources, and combined with the matching results of receptor and pollution source composition profiles, targeted reduction and control measures are provided for different VOC emission links of each risk source, that is, reduction and control measures are provided for each secondary pollution source of VOC emissions from each risk source.
