Abstract

With the rapid economic development and urbanization over the past several decades, air pollution and degradation of visibility are common in Guangzhou, especially in winter. Our objective is to generalize the variation characteristic of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ during winter period in Guangzhou and provide some theoretical evidence for the government and the relevant administration to defend PM_2.5 and PM₁₀. This article collects the concentration data of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ in the area of Guangzhou from 2014.11-2015.1 (the winter period), and the concentration of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ were (55.01±78.19)ug/m³ and (78.34±101.76) ug/m³, respectively. The mean ratio of PM_2.5 to PM₁₀ was 70.59% and the PM_2.5/PM₁₀ value ranges from 54.61% to 94.37%, indicating that fine particle (PM_2.5) occupy high proportion in the PM₁₀. In addition, PM_2.5 has a good linear relationship with PM₁₀. All evidence provides us conclusions that fine particle has a higher proportion in the atmospheric aerosol, and make a major contribution in the air environmental pollution.
