Abstract

The secondary component is an important factor causing PM2.5 pollution in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration in winter. In this study, the CO tracer method was used to estimate the secondary PM2.5 concentration of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration in the winter of 2017-2021. The temporal and spatial distribution characteristics were analyzed, and the influencing factors of regional secondary PM2.5 were discussed. The results showed that the decreasing trend of PM2.5 concentration in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region in the winter of 2017-2021 was obvious, and the cities with the largest decline were located in the central and southern part of Hebei Province, mainly contributed by primary PM2.5. There was a good correlation between secondary PM2.5 and PM2.5 in all cities of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, and the proportion of secondary PM2.5 in Beijing and Tianjin was significantly higher than that in other cities. With the aggravation of pollution degree, the mass concentration of primary PM2.5 and secondary PM2.5 increased in varying degrees, and the proportion of secondary PM2.5 increased significantly. Compared with the direct measurement results, the estimated value obtained by this method was lower as a whole. The selection of appropriate primary aerosol reference value was the key to improving this method and estimating the secondary PM2.5 concentration.

Keywords: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration; ozone(O3); photochemical reaction; secondary aerosol; temporal and spatial distribution.
