摘要

采用电子顺磁共振波谱法（EPR）对“打赢蓝天保卫战三年行动计划”（“三年行动计划”）实施期间（2018~2020年）以及实施前后（2017年和2021年）西安大气PM_2.5中EPFRs的浓度特征、种类特征及可能来源进行了探讨.结果发现，该计划实施后西安大气PM_2.5中EPFRs平均浓度（5.03×10¹⁴spins/m³）比实施前（7.18×10¹⁴spins/m³）下降了29.9%，表明“三年行动计划”的实施对EPFRs的控制是有效的.冬季浓度（8.61×10¹⁴spins/m³）是夏季（3.10×10¹⁴spins/m³）的2.8倍，其主要类型为以碳为中心附近受含氧官能团影响的自由基.相关性及平行因子分析显示，燃煤源（35.3%）、交通燃烧源（30.0%）和扬尘源（27.8%）可能是西安大气PM_2.5中EPFEs的主要来源.冬季交通燃烧源占比最高（45.8%），而夏季EPFRs与O₃相关性比较显著，二次来源占比在夏季是其他季节的2.2~5.7倍.该计划实施前后燃煤源占比明显下降（下降13.7%），说明清洁取暖、煤炭消费总量控制和燃煤锅炉综合整治等政策是非常有效的，但交通燃烧源（上升3.70%）、扬尘（上升3.00%）及二次来源（上升7.00%）略有上升，表明加强扬尘综合治理、控制机动车排放绿色出行以及控制O₃、VOCs等的污染是未来控制的重点.重污染天气下EPFRs的来源中燃煤源（42.9%）和扬尘源（33.4%）占比较高，而交通燃烧源（31.7%）和二次来源（8.95%）在优良天气的占比相对较高，说明不仅要减少重污染天气，优良天气中EPFRs对健康的影响也需要进一步关注.

Abstract

The concentration characteristics, species type, and potential sources of environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) in atmospheric PM_2.5 of Xi'an were investigated during, before, and after the implementation of the Three-year Action Plan for Winning the Blue Sky Battle, using Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). Results showed that the mean concentration of EPFRs after the implementation of the plan (5.03×10¹⁴spins/m³) decreased 29.9% compared with that before the implementation (7.18×10¹⁴spins/m³), which suggests that EPFRs were effectively controlled due to the implementation of the Three-year Action Plan. The mean concentration of EPFRs in winter (8.61×10¹⁴spins/m³) was 2.8times that in summer (3.10×10¹⁴spins/m³), and the main type was the free radicals affected by oxygen-containing functional groups near the carbon atoms. Correlations and parallel factor analysis revealed that coal combustion (35.3%), traffic emission (30.0%), and dust (27.8%) were the main sources of EPFEs in atmospheric PM_2.5 of Xi'an. Traffic emission was the most dominant source of EPFRs in winter season (45.8%), whereas the EPFRs was strongly correlated with O₃ in summer season and the contribution of secondary sources was 2.2~5.7times that of other seasons. The contribution of coal combustion to EPFRs decreased significantly (13.7%) after the implementation of the plan, indicating that policies such as clean heating, total coal consumption control, and comprehensive improvement of coal-fired boilers were very effective. The contributions of traffic emission, dust, and secondary sources slightly increased (3.70%, 3.00%, and 7.00%, respectively), suggesting that the comprehensive controlling of dust, motor vehicle emission for green travel, as well as O₃ and VOCs should be the primary focus for future pollution control. The contributions of coal combustion (42.9%) and dust (33.4%) to EPFRs were relatively high on heavy pollution days, whereas the contributions of traffic emission (31.7%) and secondary sources (8.95%) were relatively high on clean days, suggesting that in addition to reduce heavy pollution days, the health impact of EPFRs on clean days also warrant further attention.
