Abstract: Objective To systematically analyze the spatial and temporal variation characteristics of inhalable particle(PM10),fine particle(PM2.5),NO2,SO2,CO and O3,provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of air pollutants in "Wuchangshi" area. Methods Based on data from national air quality monitoring sites in "Wuchangshi" area from 2016 to 2020,the spatial and temporal variation characteristics and correlation of six air pollutants were analyzed. Results As for spatial distribution patterns,obviously differences existed for six pollutants in "Wuchangshi" area from 2016 to 2020. Except SO2 and O3,the mean concentration of all pollutants was the highest in Urumqi. From 2016 to 2020,the annual mean concentrations of PM10,PM2.5,NO2,CO and SO2 decreased by 13.3%,9.3%,17.9%,25.9% and 45.2%,respectively. In contrast,the annual mean concentration of O3 increased by 23.8%. The concentrations of PM10,PM2.5,NO2,CO and SO2 were more serious in winter,and the lowest in summer. The highest concentration of O3 occurred in spring and summer,and the lowest in winter. The daily concentrations of PM10,PM2.5,CO and NO2 presented double peaks distribution,the peak of PM10 and PM2.5 concentration occurred at 00:00-02:00 at night,while the daytime peaks occurred at 10:00-13:00 and 14:00-16:00,respectively. The peak of NO2 and CO concentration occurred at 23:00-01:00 and 09:00-11:00,respectively. The peak of SO2 and O3 concentration occurred at 13:00-16:00 and 16:00-17:00,respectively. The concentrations of PM10,PM2.5,NO2,SO2 and CO in "Wuchangshi" area were significantly positively correlated with each other,while O3 and the five pollutants were significantly negatively correlated. Conclusion Except O3,the air pollution in "Wuchangshi" area has been improving year by year,but the pollution of PM10 and PM2.5 still exceeds the second-level concentration limit,so the emphasis should be placed on the coordinated prevention and control of O3 and atmospheric particulate pollution in "Wuchangshi" area.
