Abstract

Shenyang City was the political, economic and cultural centre of the northeast China and was also a heavily polluted industrial city. The understanding of the distribution characteristics of air pollutants concentration and changes was still lacked. To reduce the impact of disturbing factors such as firecrackers in the traditional Chinese festivals, the observation period of the monitoring data was selected from 17th May to 21st July in 2016. The data sources were picked from eight national monitoring stations and the daily average concentration of the main air pollutants that included PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2 and O3. The overall analysis of distribution characteristics of the air pollutant was shown that the principal pollutants with highest frequency were O3 and PM10, the average proportion was 74.1% and 20.8% respectively.
