Particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O) pollution have been attracting increasing attention recently due to their severe harm to human health. PM and O are secondary pollutants, and there remain significant challenges in accurately and efficiently predicting their concentrations in the atmosphere. In this study, one-year monitoring data of PM, PM, PM, and O concentrations as well as meteorological parameters and concentrations of various precursors (i.

- Fluorescence spectroscopy is effective in detecting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) due to their natural fluorescence, but challenges arise from overlapping spectra and surfactants in oilfield produced water.
- A novel approach using third-order calibration on four-dimensional (4D) fluorescence data was proposed to address these issues, particularly focusing on compounds like pyrene, fluorene, phenanthrene, and fluoranthene.
- This method demonstrated improved accuracy and quantification of PAHs compared to traditional second-order calibration methods, offering a significant advancement for analyzing PAHs in complex water samples containing surfactants.
