Guangzhou (urban) and Xinken (rural) in the Pearl River Delta, China.

Site description From 16 October to 5 November in 2004 Guangzhou urban center of Guangzhou city about 55m above ground wind direction : NNE and NNW Xinken rural area about 10m height wind direction : NE and N ※ ES sea breeze was observed in late afternoon.

Instrumentation

Guangzhou : Time-series observation of propane, toluene, isoprene

Guangzhou : Time-series observation of VOC (TVOC), CO, and NO

Xinken : Time-series observation of propane, toluene, isoprene

Xinken : Time-series observation of VOC (TVOC), CO, and NO

Surface windflow patterns andPBL heights (m) over the PRD

Guangzhou & Xinken

Top 10 NMHCs ranked by their concentration ranges (ppbv)

isoprene versus 3-methylpentane

hourly averaged concentration of three categories of NMHCs

Composition of NMHCs LPG-related species : propane, n-butane, and iso-butane Guangzhou 58% of total alkanes, 35% of total VOC Xinken 42% of total alkanes, 22% of total VOC

Car exhaust Fuel/solvent evaporation

ethylbenzene versus m,p-xylene

conclusion Diurnal patterns and correlation between the concentrations of NMHCs, NO, and CO suggest that vehicle exhaust is the dominant source of ozone precursors in Guangzhou. A large portion of NMHCs in Guangzhou is found to be related to LPG used as fuel for motor vehicles. The use of PCA and E/X as age indicator reveals that the air masses observed in Xinken are well aged and photochemically processed, which explains the high level of ozone frequently observed in the coastal areas of PRD such as Xinken.
