Online GC was adopted to monitor VOCs of high pollution process near a chemical industrial area in winter. PMF model was used to identify the major sources of VOCs and evaluate their contributions. The result showed that the main components during the period of observation were toluene, xylene, C3-C4 hydrocarbon and chloroform, etc.

In order to evaluate secondary aerosol formation at different ozone levels, CO was used as a tracer for primary aerosol, and 0(3, max) was used as an index for photochemical activity. Results show that along with increasing of O3 concentration, the concentration of primary and secondary aerosol was increased respectively from 0.
