Abstract:This study investigated the influence of fireworks on air quality by using the concentrations of major pollutants and PM2.5 components and meteorological conditions during the Spring Festival in Beijing from 2013 to 2020. The results suggest that air quality improved significantly due to strict control on fireworks since 2018. In particular, 87.5% (seven days) of the days during the 2019 Spring Festival achieved the good and excellent air quality standards, and no heavy polluted days occurred. The maximum PM2.5 concentration during the New Year’s eve decreased sharply in recent three years, falling by 61.1%, 74.7% and 71.4%, respectively, compared to the highest concentration of 699μg/m3 in 2016. Besides, the sudden increase rates of SO2, PM10and PM2.5 concentrations were reduced from 1.31, 1.37 and 0.92 in 2013 to 0.08, 0.14 and 0.02 in 2020. Further, the concentration of primary ion components from fireworks to PM2.5 decreased significantly thus confirming the reduction in impact of fireworks on air quality in recent years. During the Spring Festival in 2020, adverse meteorological conditions prohibited fireworks pollution dispersion, and aggravated the local pollution accumulation and regional transport, resulting in three-day heavy pollution event. Therefore, the strict control of fireworks, optimal meteorological conditions, and low levels of pollution in the surrounding area are crucial to the air quality in Beijing during the Spring Festival.
