Abstract:
The temporal and spatial distribution of particulate pollution in Weinan street canyons was measured by vehicular particulate matter sensor from March 1
st to May 31
st, 2019. The results showed that: (1) The concentration of PM
2.5 varied from 37.7 μg/m
3 to 51.9 μg/m
3, and the sections with high PM
2.5 concentrations were located in the east of the high-tech zone and the main urban area. The concentration of PM
2.5-10 varied from 65.8 μg/m
3 to 119.1 μg/m
3 and the sections with high PM
2.5-10 concentrations were located in the suburbs of each functional area. (2) The PM
2.5 and PM
2.5-10 of the road environment in the main urban area were more serious during the morning peak hours (07:00-09:00) of working days than on non-working days. In the main urban area, the order of PM
2.5-10 concentrations among different types of road at 07:00 on working days was branch roads (103.5 μg/m
3) > main roads (102.1 μg/m
3) > secondary roads (96.9 μg/m
3). (3) For road sections in the high-tech zones and the old urban areas, in addition to the peaks of PM
2.5 and PM
2.5-10 concentrations during the morning and evening peak hours, the peak of PM
2.5-10 concentrations was likely to occur in the early morning hours on the road sections where construction trucks were driving, bare land, or sections surrounding the construction sites, and the highest concentration of PM
2.5-10 was 230.9 μg/m
3 (west section of Letian Street: road section Ⅳ). The research showed that during the morning and evening peak hours of working days, especially during the morning peak hours, the traffic emissions had increased PM
2.5 pollution of road sections located in the east of the high-tech zone and the main urban area. Road sections near the suburbs of the high-tech zone and the old urban area had aggravated the PM
2.5 and PM
2.5-10 pollution caused by the construction trucks at night.
