Abstract:

Power plants remain major contributors to air pollution, and while their impact on air quality and atmospheric chemistry have been extensively studied, there are still uncertainties in quantifying their precise contributions to PM2.5 and O-3 formation under varying environmental conditions. This study employs the WRF/CMAQ modeling system to quantify the impact of power plant emissions on PM2.5 and O-3 levels across eastern China in June 2019. We investigate the spatial and temporal patterns of pollutant formation, analyze contributions to secondary PM2.5 components, and assess process-specific influences on O-3 concentrations. Results show that power plant emissions contribute up to 2.5-3.0 mu g m(-3) to PM2.5 levels in central and eastern regions, with lower impacts in coastal and southern areas. O-3 contributions exhibit a more complex pattern, ranging from -4 to +4 ppb, reflecting regional variations in NOx saturation. Among secondary PM2.5 components, nitrate formation is most significantly influenced by power plant emissions, emphasizing the critical role of NOx. Diurnal O-3 patterns reveal a transition from widespread morning suppression to afternoon enhancement, particularly in southern regions. Process analysis indicates that vertical transport is the primary mechanism enhancing surface O-3 from power plant emissions, while dry deposition acts as the main removal process. This comprehensive assessment provides crucial insights for developing targeted air quality management strategies, highlighting the need for region-specific approaches and prioritized NOx emission controls in the power sector. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between power plant emissions and regional air quality, offering a foundation for more effective pollution mitigation policies.
