Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air pollution control technology, specifically relating to a method for estimating the atmospheric heavy metal environmental capacity. Background Technology

[0002] Fine particulate matter in ambient air carries a large number of toxic and harmful substances, such as carbon dioxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and bacteria and viruses. Heavy metals, as a significant toxic component, can enter the human body through respiration and accumulate, harming organ function and even causing irreversible damage. Heavy metals present in the atmosphere include lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, nickel, and cobalt. The estimation of atmospheric heavy metal environmental capacity is the basis for formulating atmospheric heavy metal emission reduction measures.

[0003] Current methods for calculating environmental capacity primarily use the requirement that pollutant concentrations meet standards as a constraint. Widely used methods include the A-value method, linear optimization methods, and model simulation methods. Model simulation methods are further divided into model algorithms based on physicochemical process analysis and iterative simulation optimization methods.

[0004] A-value method: Based on the principle of box model, it assumes that the environmental capacity is directly proportional to the self-purification capacity of the atmospheric environment and the area of ​​the region. It only considers natural factors and does not reflect the characteristics of emission sources or chemical transformation processes. It is suitable for determining the atmospheric environmental capacity under ideal conditions, but not for the environmental capacity under the constraints of fine particulate matter, ozone and other standards. Its advantage is that it is simple and convenient.

[0005] Linear optimization methods: These methods calculate atmospheric environmental capacity based on linear optimization theory, linking pollution sources and their diffusion processes with control points. Using the concentration compliance of target control points as a constraint, the maximum allowable emissions from pollution sources are determined through multi-source models and mathematical programming. Linear optimization methods are primarily applicable to smaller-scale areas, reflecting the "emission-receptor" response relationship and allowing for optimized allocation of atmospheric environmental capacity. However, this method is limited by the linear assumption and cannot handle secondary air pollution problems with nonlinear characteristics.

[0006] Iterative simulation optimization method: Based on dynamic spatial transport matrices, industry contribution matrices, and precursor contribution matrices, a multi-objective nonlinear optimization model is established to obtain multiple optimized emission reduction schemes. Through iterative simulation, the pollutant emissions corresponding to achieving air quality standards are obtained, which is the atmospheric environmental capacity. This method can take into account the influence of natural factors such as meteorology and topography, as well as anthropogenic factors such as pollution sources on atmospheric environmental capacity, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of traditional methods. It can reflect complex atmospheric physicochemical processes. However, this method is based on the ideal assumption that the spatial and industry distribution characteristics of pollution source emissions do not change significantly, and it cannot optimize the allocation of atmospheric environmental capacity. Furthermore, it is technically complex and computationally intensive.

[0007] The model algorithm based on physicochemical process analysis considers atmospheric environmental capacity as the maximum allowable emission level to meet fine particulate matter (PM2.5) standards. It calculates the atmospheric environmental capacity of PM2.5 and its precursors based on PM2.5 compliance using air quality models. This method divides atmospheric environmental capacity into two indispensable components: dynamic capacity and static capacity. The dynamic capacity considers the combined effects of actual pollutant concentrations and given pollutant concentration constraints on processes such as transport, diffusion, deposition, and chemical transformation; its calculation result represents the maximum dynamic allowable emission level.

[0008] Existing environmental capacity calculation methods mainly focus on fine particulate matter and its precursors, and only require that the concentrations of pollutants such as fine particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, or inhalable particulate matter meet the standards. Currently, there are no environmental capacity estimation methods that take atmospheric heavy metals as the calculation object, nor do they consider the health effects on the population attributable to atmospheric heavy metal concentrations.
