Abstract

2021 will be the first year of China’s 14^th Five-year period, and all cities have been working on making new local environmental protection plans. To further improve air quality, reduce smog, and control ozone pollution, many cities intend to set more stringent local air quality targets than the national requirements. However, how to set a reasonable and attainable air quality targets is very important because the targets have impacts not only on the welfare of local residents, but also on the local economy. This work presents a comprehensive approach to set reasonable local air quality targets. This approach has been applied to determine PM_2.5 and O₃ ambient concentration targets for Lishui city in its 14th Five-year Environmental Protection Plan. In this study, five years monitoring data of PM_2.5 and O₃ from year 2014 to 2018 in Lishui was collected and analyzed to assess the status quo and trends of its air quality. Then the concentration distribution of PM_2.5 and O₃ in Lishui surrounding cities and counties in Zhejiang Province were also analyzed and the possible impacts on Lishui city were evaluated. Moreover, PM_2.5 and O₃ air quality standards in other developed countries were reviewed and compared with Chinese current standards to assist the setting of appropriate ambient air quality targets. Based on the analysis, three-year sliding average concentration of PM_2.5 and O₃ are included in Lishui’s annual air quality targets for the first time, and different air quality targets are set for both the whole city and each specific area of Lishui city.
