Abstract:In this study, an instrument based on the principle of long-path differential optical absorption spectroscopy (LP-DOAS) was used for long-term automatic monitoring of typical chemical industry park in Shanghai. The measurement system was built on the northwest boundary of the chemical industry park, and played the role of a border fence by alarming once the pollutant concentration exceeds the limit. A comparison was conducted between the toluene data measured by GC-FID system at the same site and the data measured by UV-DOAS system. The daily mean correlation coefficient R2 of the two instruments was 0.87, which proved the data validity measured by UV-DOAS system in this study. Combined with the meteorological data from the Northwest Boundary Monitoring Station, the analysis of the daily and monthly average value of HCl data indicated that the changes in HCl concentration were mainly related to the emissions from the chemical industry park by analyzing. Combined with HYSPLIT_4 transmission and diffusion mode, the pollutant tracking analysis was performed in each June of 2017 to 2019 and the four seasons of 2017, respectively. It was found that about 95% of the diffused pollutants in June passed through the urban area of Shanghai, causing pollution in Shanghai. Further analysis showed, during 2017, the pollutants discharged from the chemical industry park in summer had the maximum impact on the pollution of Shanghai urban area. In comparison, the pollutants had the minimum impact in autumn. The above results can provide a reference for the monitoring and governance of atmospheric environment in Shanghai. Key words:long-path differential optical absorption spectroscopy(LP-DOAS)/ chemical industry park/ pollutant/ automatic monitoring/ regional air pollution/ forward tracking.
