Abstract

A continuous observation campaign was carried out with the Syntech Spectras GC955 volatile organics online monitoring system from March 1, 2019 to May 31, 2019 in Hangzhou. The constituent features of VOCs, the preferred VOCs species, and VOCs characteristic pollutant ratios were analyzed. The results showed that alkanes were the most important component in the volume fraction of VOCs, accounting for 62.40%. C2-C6 alkanes, benzene series, ethylene, and acetylene were the key species of VOCs. Olefins and aromatics were the main contribution components of OFP, with contribution rates of 41.35% and 37.50%, respectively. Aromatics were the main contributors to SOA, with a contribution rate of more than 90%. Low carbon alkanes, low carbon olefins, and benzene series were the key contributing species of OFP. Controlling toluene, m/p-xylene, and o-xylene is the key to the coordinated control of O3 and PM2.5. VOCs in the atmosphere of the sampling point were not only affected by motor vehicle exhaust but were also significantly affected by industrial emissions, such as solvents.

Keywords: characteristic pollutant ratios; coordinated control; formation potential; preferred VOCs species; volatile organic compounds(VOCs).
