Analysis of the Characteristics of Haze and its Pollutants in Wuhan

Article Preview

Abstract:

The climatic characteristics of haze and pollutants were analyzed based on surface observations obtained from Meteorological Observation Station and Environmental Monitoring Center Station from January, 2013 to March, 2014 in Wuhan. The high frequency of haze in Wuhan was from September to December, with following trend “winter>autumn>spring>summer”. According to the manual observation, haze occurrence at 11:00 was highest. The value of Air Quality Index (AQI) was highest in January and December. The primary pollutant in Wuhan was PM2.5, secondly O3. Horizontal diffusion played an important role in concentration of pollutants. The highest concentration of PM2.5 converged around wind from north or east.
