Abstract:In order to investigate the variation characteristics of atmospheric particle pollution in the Olympic Village and evaluate the effect of pollution control measures on particle matter concentrations,the on-line measurements of particle mass concentration(PM10 and PM2.5) using TEOM were conducted on the rooftop of a six-floor building in the Institute of Remote Sensing Applications,Chinese Academy of Sciences,during both summer of 2007 and 2008.Results show that the average mass concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 during summer of 2007 are 153.9 and 71.2 μg·m-3,while the average mass concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 during summer of 2008 are 85.2 and 52.8 μg·m-3,respectively.Compared with the same period of one year before,the average mass concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 decrease by 44.5% and 25.1%,respectively,during the Olympic Games.Two typical particle pollution processes are selected to compare the variation difference of particle mass concentrations before and during the Olympic Games.The result shows that the relative humidity increasing and air masses transportation from south regions both together easily lead to the increasing of atmospheric particles,whereas the rainfall events and air mass transportation from north regions have a great effect on the scavenging of particle matter.In the similar weather conditions,the daily growth rate of fine particles in pollution accumulation process are 25.1 and 13.9 μg·m-3·d-1,while the daily growth rate of coarse particles are 20.8 and 2.2 μg·m-3·d-1,respectively,before and during Olympic Games.The daily growth rate of coarse and fine particles in pollution process during Olympic Games are significantly and slightly lower than those in pollution process before Olympic Games,which indicates that the implementation of pollution control measures during the Olympic Games has a great effect on the decreasing of particle matter,especially on the reduction of coarse particles.
