Abstract:OH radicals were observed at urban and rural sites in the late summer and early autumn in Shenzhen, China. The daytime peak average concentrations of OH radicals were 6.0×106cm-3 and 5.9×106cm-3, which were at a moderate level compared to other regions around the world. Based on the observed data, a parameterized formula of OH radicals, with good fitting, was constructed to characterize the spatial distribution of OH radicals in Guangdong Province. The activity of photochemistry (AP) was reflected by the product of daytime OH and NO2 concentrations. Generally, higher AP (10.1×107μg/(m3·cm3)) was found in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) and the lower AP in eastern, western and northern Guangdong (5.4×107,5.9×107 and 7.7×107μg/(m3·cm3)). Higher concentrations of PM2.5 and O3 were also found in the PRD, indicating a key role of regulating AP in the coordinated control of PM2.5 and O3 pollution in the PRD. The spatial distribution characteristics also showed that northern Guangdong and eastern Guangdong were significantly affected by the regional transport of PM2.5 from the northern inland and the regional transport of O3 from the southeast coast, respectively, reflecting the importance of regional joint control to jointly mitigate PM2.5 and O3 pollution.
