Abstract To evaluate the influence of the frequent large-scale regional photochemical pollution events on the background atmosphere in South China during the National Day holiday, continuous online observations of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) a representative product of photochemical pollution, were conducted for the first time at Nanling National Atmospheric Background Monitoring Station in Guangdong, around the National Day of 2018 (September 19th~October 19th). The concentration characteristics and sources of PAN were also analysed. The average volume concentration of PAN during the period was (0.66 ±0.54)×10-9, with the maximum value of 2.33×10-9, which was significantly higher than other background sites in China and abroad ((0.21 ~ 0.44)×10-9), and the concentration at night was constantly high. Additionally, PAN correlated well with O3 (r= 0.90) and NO2 (r = 0.87), and the atmospheric background volume concentration of O3 was estimated to be (46.22 ±0.65)×10-9by a linear fitting method, indicating that the photochemical reaction at Nanling was active. As a result of the regional photochemical pollution events, the concentrations of PAN at Nanling site increased significantly during the National Day holiday, reaching (1.18 ±0.45)×10-9,while NO/NO2 ratio decreased during the same period, resulting in a prolonged atmospheric lifetime of PAN and contributing to local accumulation of PAN. Combining the backward trajectory of the air mass, the distribution of potential sources and the nationwide distribution characteristics of the precursor NO2, it was found that the high concentration of PAN during the National Day holiday at Nanling site mainly came from Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Jiangxi and other central regions of China.
