A total of 102 ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected during the 29-day online real-time scrutiny conducted in the urban area of Baoji during October and December, 2017. The ozone formation potential (OFPs) and the secondary organic aerosol formation potential (SOAFPs) of VOCs species were estimated using the maximum incremental reactivity (MIR) coefficient and the fractional aerosol coefficient (FAC), respectively, so as to screen out the VOCs species that had the largest contribution to the formation of O₃ and SOA. The results showed that the concentration of TVOC in Baoji in the autumn and winter were (68.62±21.85)×10^-9 and (42.44±16.62)×10^-9. The total OFPs were 185.49×10^-9 and 126.00×10^-9 in the autumn and winter, respectively; the total SOAFPs were 3.26, 0.65μg/m³ in the two seasons, respectively. In the autumn, alkanes (21.83×10^-9) and aromatics (13.37×10^-9) contributed the highest contents, which accounted for 31.82% and 19.49% of TVOC, respectively. In the autumn, ethylene, trans-2-pentene and toluene were the species having the largest contribution to OFPs, whereas toluene, m, p-xylene and ethylbenzene were the largest contributors to SOA production. In the winter, alkane (17.34×10^-9) and alkyne (8.81×10^-9) were the top two abundant species, which accounted for 40.85% and 20.75% of TVOC, respectively. In the winter, ethylene, propylene and acetylene were the three major components that had the largest contribution to OFPs; whereas toluene, m-p-xylene, and ethylbenzene were the top three VOCs that had the largest contribution to SOA production. To conclude, it is an efficient way to reduce O₃ and SOA pollution in autumn and winter in Baoji through controlling concentrations of alkenes and aromatics in ambient air.
