The Characteristics Analysis of Atmospheric Environmental Pollution Impact by Setting Off Firecrackers

Article Preview

Abstract:

As one of China's traditional habits, setting off firecrackers during the holiday season has been going on for thousands of years, especially in north China. This paper selects the atmospheric environmental quality real-time data published by China environmental department, including the AQI, PM10 and PM2.5, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. It shows that all pollutants have a rising trend during the Spring Festival period, especially from 20:00 at lunar 30th to 4:00 at lunar New Year's Day. From the analysis on the cause, setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival is the direct cause of the decline in air quality.
