The Fenwei Plain is listed as one of the most serious air pollution regions in China, along with Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta regions. This paper proposed a functional data analysis method to study the environmental pollution problem in the Fenwei Plain of China. Functional spatial autoregressive combined (FSAC) model with spatial autocorrelation of both the response variable and error term is developed. The model takes the SO2 concentration of Fenwei Plain as the dependent variable and the dew point temperature as the independent variable and realizes the maximum likelihood estimation using functional principal component analysis to obtain the asymptotic properties of parameter estimation and the confidence interval of the slope function. According to the findings of the empirical analysis of the Fenwei Plain, the SO2 concentration has significant seasonal characteristics and has decreased year over year for three years in a row. Winter is the season with the highest concentration on the Fenwei Plain, followed by spring and autumn, while summer is the season with the lowest concentration. Winter also has a high spatial autocorrelation. The FSAC model is more effective at fitting the concentration and dew point temperature of the Fenwei Plain in China because its mean square error (MSE) is significantly lower than that of the other models. As a result, this paper can more thoroughly study the pollution problem on the Fenwei Plain and offer guidance for prevention and control.

Article Synopsis
  • Ambient PM pollution in China poses serious health risks, despite recent declines in overall PM concentrations; understanding of chemical constituents remains limited due to inadequate monitoring.
  • A Super Learner model using satellite data and other information predicts daily organic carbon (OC) concentrations with high accuracy, revealing elevated levels in Northern China from industrial activities and contributions from forest fires in Yunnan.
  • From 2003 to 2019, national OC levels declined by 1.3% annually, with regional variations, and the OC/EC ratio analysis indicated different pollution sources in urban versus rural areas, highlighting the effectiveness of air quality policies post-2013.

The ground-level O concentration has shown a deteriorating trend in the Fenwei Plain of China, which poses a greater challenge for formulating control strategies of O precursor (VOCs). To accurately control VOCs sources and effectively reduce O concentration from a seasonal perspective, online monitoring of 114 VOCs was conducted at Yuncheng Middle School Station from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. The VOCs concentration showed a seasonal variation with the highest in winter and the lowest in summer.

Regional collaborative governance has become a key strategy for environmental protection, especially in reducing transboundary pollution transfer. This study, set against the backdrop of environmental governance in China's Fen-Wei Plain, employs evolutionary game theory to deeply analyze the strategic choices of local governments in managing haze pollution. We developed a model incorporating 14 key variables to systematically explore the emission reduction strategies of local governments under various policy environments.

Article Synopsis
  • * The research found higher levels of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the biomass fuel group, while the coal group showed greater amounts of water-soluble inorganic ions and nitrogen.
  • * A strong correlation between ROS and WSOC was observed in coal PMs, particularly in smaller particles, suggesting that coal combustion produces more transition metals affecting ROS levels, while specific relationships between components varied in both fuel groups.

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a high-yield product of the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by anthropogenic activities, fires, and vegetations. Hence, we examined the spatiotemporal variation trends in HCHO columns observed using the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) during 2005-2021 across the Fenwei Plain (FWP) and analysed the source and variability of HCHO using multi-source data, such as thermal anomalies. The spatial distribution of the annual mean HCHO in the FWP increased from northwest to southeast during 2005-2021, and the high-value aggregation areas contracted and gradually clustered, forming a belt-shaped distribution area from Xi'an to Baoji, north of the Qinling Mountains.
