[Study on atmospheric VOCs in Gongga Mountain base station].
This study measured atmospheric VOCs at the Gongga Mountain base station using weekly samples collected in 2007 and analyzed by preconcentration plus GC-MS. It reports mean concentrations of TVOCs and NMHCs, describes VOC composition, and uses PCA-based receptor modeling to attribute sources. The authors report strong seasonal variation in TVOCs and an exponential relationship between isoprene and temperature above 20°C.
Key points
- Weekly atmospheric VOC samples were collected in 2007 at the Gongga Mountain base station and analyzed by GC-MS.
- Annual mean concentrations were reported for TVOCs and NMHCs.
- Aromatic hydrocarbons were the largest contributor to TVOCs, followed by alkanes and halogenated hydrocarbons.
- PCA receptor modeling resolved three major VOC source factors: traffic, biogenic, and combustion sources.
- TVOCs showed clear seasonal variation with autumn > winter > spring > summer, and autumn levels were significantly higher than summer.
- Isoprene was attributed to biogenic sources and increased with temperature, remaining constant below 20°C.
