AI Article Synopsis

  • Significant progress has been achieved in controlling emissions from stationary combustion sources in China, but knowledge about condensable particulate matter (CPM) emissions and their effects on air quality is still limited.
  • A study analyzed CPM emissions from coal-fired industrial boilers, power plants, and the iron and steel industry in the Yangtze River Delta, revealing a substantial reduction in CPM emissions after implementing ultra-low emissions (ULE) policies.
  • The research highlighted that CPM emissions significantly contributed to particulate matter (PM) levels during pollution events, especially with high sulfate, organic carbon, and nitrate components, necessitating ongoing focus on emission control strategies.

Article Abstract

Although significant progress has been made in controlling emissions from stationary combustion sources in China over the past decade, understanding of condensable particulate matter (CPM) emissions from these sources and their impact on ambient PM remains limited. In this study, we established the source profiles and emission inventories of CPM from coal-fired industrial boilers (CFIBs), coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), and iron and steel industry (ISIs) for the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region of China; furthermore, the air quality model (Community Multiscale Air Quality, CMAQ) was used to evaluate the impact of CPM emissions from these three types of stationary combustion sources on ambient PM during Feb. 2018, a month characterized by elevated PM concentrations. The results indicated that CPM emissions from these three sources in the YRD region before and after the implementation of the ultra-low emissions (ULE) policy amounted to 109,839 and 43,338 tons, respectively, with particularly high emission intensity along the Yangtze River. The implementation of CFPPs ULE policy was shown to reduce the impact of CPM emissions from these three stationary sources on monthly PM concentrations from 0.92 μg/m to 0.41 μg/m (with a maximum of 5.35 μg/m). This reduction exceeded the 0.31 μg/m decrease in PM concentrations resulting from the emission reductions of conventional pollutants (FPM, SO and NOx). CPM emissions from these three stationary sources were found to increase the PM by 0.68 μg/m during pollution periods. The largest components of PM contributed by CPM emissions from stationary combustion sources were sulfate, organic carbon, and nitrate, accounting for 21.4 %, 21.1 %, and 18.2 %, respectively. Particularly, contributions from CPM emissions to PM varied by altitude, with a relatively large impact at altitudes between 220 and 460 m. Attention should be given to CPM emission control, with particular priority placed on implementing ULE measures for ISIs and CFIBs.
