| Abstract: | "In this paper, a regional emissions inventory of anthropogenic VOCs was established based on the traditional emissions factor method for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region, followed by a multidimensional calibration study based on regional satellite remote sensing information for formaldehyde and typical urban ground VOCs. Inventory calculations showed that the VOCs emissions in BTH in 2013, 2015, and 2017 were 2026700, 2073400, and 1934200 tons, respectively, comprising alkanes (29.83% to 30.72%), unsaturated hydrocarbons (16.54% to 17.68%), aromatic hydrocarbons (27.14% to 27.51%), aldehydes (8.75% to 9.52%), ketones (8.13% to 9.04%), and aldehydes and ketones lipids (5.13% to 6.60%). During 2013-2017, the emission of VOCs in Zhangjiakou, Qinhuangdao, and Hengshui increased slightly (1.10% to 1.66% per year); emissions in Xingtai and Handan decreased slightly (-1.46% to -1.12% per year); and emissions in Chengde, Tangshan, Baoding, and Cangzhou were stable. There trends were consistent with the inter-annual trend of satellite-derived HCHO column concentrations. However, in Beijing, Tianjin, Langfang, and Shijiazhuang, annual variations in VOCs emissions (-6.51%, -3.30%, 2.16%, and 0.11% per year) and HCHO column concentrations (-1.17%, 7.19%, -0.24%, and 6.68% per year) were observed, respectively. In the regional VOCs inventory, a good linear correlation (R>0.5) was achieved between the grid emissions of VOCs and HCHO column concentrations in urban areas, while the correlation was only 0.33 in suburban areas. This is mainly due to the important influence of secondary conversion of VOCs originating from natural sources to HCHO in suburban areas. In addition, ground-level VOCs concentrations were observed in the urban areas of Beijing and Handan, where the emission ratios (ERs) of VOCs and CO were regressed. The ERs of most hydrocarbons were in good agreement with the regressed ERs, but the ERs of ethane were significantly lower (-156% to -73%) and the ERs of aromatic hydrocarbons above C8 were relatively high (54% to 74%). In general, the regional anthropogenic VOCs emissions inventory established in this paper offers high accuracy and reliability" |
