Abstract:
To analyze the characteristics and spatial distribution of air pollutants and CO
2 emissions in Binzhou City from 2016 to 2021, a comprehensive emission inventory for six air pollutants and CO
2 in the city was established using the emission factor method based on survey activity level data. The emission inventory of the year 2021 was allocated into a spatial grid of 1 km×1 km using ArcGIS software. The results showed that the emissions of PM
2.5, PM
10, NO
x, and NH
3 decreased from 2016 to 2021. SO
2 and CO emissions significantly decreased year by year from 2016 to 2017 and remained relatively stable after 2017. CO
2 emissions showed an upward trend. In 2021, the emissions of SO
2, PM
2.5, PM
10, NO
x, CO, NH
3, and CO
2 in Binzhou were 18 739, 20 082, 27 054, 64 413, 335 083, 27 920 t, and 48 248 kt, respectively. High-emission areas were distributed in industrial parks and densely populated areas. NO
x emission was dominated by road network. CO emission was influenced by both road network and population. SO
2 emission was higher in industrial parks. NH
3 emission was distributed in agricultural areas. Particulate matter and CO
2 emissions were influenced by population density, road network density, and economic activity. Analysis of pollution equivalent showed that after the technological transformation from 2016 to 2017, the ratio between emission of CO
2 and pollutants was higher compared to other provinces and cities with similar levels of development. The city's clean development effect was significant.
