Unraveling the influence of biogenic volatile organic compounds and their constituents on ozone and SOA formation within the Yellow River Basin, China

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) assume a pivotal role during the formation stages of ozone (O3) and secondary organic aerosols (SOA), serving as their primary precursors. We used the latest MEGAN3.1 model, updated vegetation data and emission factors, combined with MODIS data analysis to simulate and estimate the integrated emissions of BVOC from nine provinces in China's Yellow River Basin in 2018. Following an extensive evaluation of the WRF-CMAQ model utilizing diverse parameters, the simulated and observed values had correlation coefficients between them that ranged from 0.94 to 0.99, implying a favorable outcome in terms of simulation efficacy. The findings from the simulation analysis reveal that the combined BVOC emissions from the nine provinces in the Yellow River Basin reached a total of 6.51 Tg in 2018. Among these provinces, Sichuan, Henan, and Shaanxi ranked highest, with emissions of 1.28 Tg, 1.04 Tg, and 0.96 Tg, respectively. BVOC emissions led to concentrations of 36.72 μg/m³ in the daily maximum 8-h ozone and 0.59 μg/m³ in the average SOA in nine provinces of the Yellow River Basin in July. Isoprene contributed the most to the O3 production with 6.31 μg/m3, and monoterpenes contributed the most to SOA production with 0.45 μg/m3. ΔSOA and ΔOzone are mainly distributed in the belts of central Sichuan Province, southern Shaanxi Province, western Henan Province, northern Qinghai Province, central Inner Mongolia, and southern Shanxi Province, and most of these areas are located 50 km around the Yellow River. O3 and SOA in Taiyuan, Xi'an, Chengdu, and Zhengzhou cities are strongly influenced by the generation of BVOCs. This study provides a reliable scientific basis for the prevention and control of air pollution in the Yellow River Basin.
