| Abstract: | "In 2015, continuous volatile organic compound (VOC) monitoring was conducted for Dongsi (urban site), the southeast boundary site Yongledian, and Dingling (background site). The average annual mole fraction of atmospheric VOCs in urban areas was(48.93+/-31.03)x10(-9), the average annual mole fraction of the southeast boundary was (54.55+/-39.64)x10(-9), and the average annual mole fraction for the background site was(28.25+/-21.26)x10(-9). Considering VOC components, alkanes occupy the highest proportion, followed by oxygen-containing VOCs, olefins, aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, and acetylene. VOC concentration was higher in winter, lower in summer, higher at night and lower in the daytime. The concentration of acetylene in urban areas was higher in spring, summer and autumn, but higher in winter at the southeast boundary site. However, in the background, a small amount of direct anthropogenic interference was detectable, with the concentration of oxygen VOCs higher at noon and in summer. The species with high mole fractions in the VOCs were identified as mainly ethane, acetylene, ethylene, acetaldehyde, propane, acetone, n-butane, dichloromethane, and other low-carbon substances. The concentrations of benzene and toluene in the high-carbon group was relatively high. From the toluene/benzene ratio, it was found that Beijing VOCs were influenced by many sources other than transportation. However, the ratio of ethane/acetylene has been found to be significantly dependent on the aging of air mass in Beijing, with the southeast boundary particularly affected by movement of the aging air mass. Changes in the ratio of isopentane/TVOC showed that high summer temperature enhanced gasoline volatilization. The southeastern boundary point of OFP was the highest, followed by the urban area, with Dingling lower. The species with greater contribution to OFP were ethylene, propylene, acetaldehyde, paraxylene and toluene, with the higher mole fraction of alkanes making little contribution to OFP" |
