摘要

From April 6 to 9, 2019, during the period between two cold fronts from Asian continent affecting Taiwan, the Pacific high-pressure system extended westward, causing weak southwesterly winds around Taiwan. During that time, PM2.5 event occurred in central Taiwan. We applied the WRF/CMAQ modeling system to explore the PM2.5 event, with a focus on the maximization of local pollution. The Integrated Process Rate (IPR) is employed to explore the contributions of various mechanisms to the PM2.5 concentration. At the north of central Taiwan, the increase in the PM2.5 concentration was caused mainly by horizontal advection (HADV) and to a limited degree by aerosol chemistry (AERO) and vertical diffusion (VDIF). In Taichung City, AERO, VDIF and vertical advection (ZADV) caused the increase in PM2.5 concentration. In the south of central Taiwan, HADV caused the decrease in the PM2.5 concentration. The calculated integrated reaction rate (IRR) indicated that gaseous HNO3 was produced by OH + NO2 during the day, accounting for almost all the HNO3 formed at noon. After sunset, heterogeneous reactions between N2O5 and water vapor dominated. Local pollution accounted for approximately half of the total amount of SO42−. The most important way to control local SO42− is to reduce the emission of SO2 or H2O2. Organic carbon (OC) reduction depends mainly on controlling OC produced via combustion. Another way is to reduce low-volatility/semivolatile primary organic aerosols (POAs). Additionally, the simulation indicated that the PM2.5 in central Taiwan was acidic, with pH values was below 2 at noon and between 3 and 5 at midnight.
