碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 環境工程研究所 === 99 === This study measured Ambient concentrations of air pollutants and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in industrial park in Kaohsiung City. The spatial distribution was investigated during different time periods and seasons. The ozone formation potential (OFP) of VOCs species were evaluated based on the maximum incremental reactivity (MIR). Also, this study using factor analysis to estimate the polluted source. The season distribution of air pollutants showed concentration in spring higher than summer, owing to air activities of summer are acute include wet precipitation, photochemical reaction, and convection. The time period distribution showed the results which NOx and O3 concentration occurred peaks at 7:00 − 8:00, 18:00 − 19:00 and 13:00 − 16:00, respectively. The reason is photochemical reaction, lead to concentration trend with time of NOx inversely to O3. The concentration trend with time of CO and PM10 similar to NOx. The polluted sources were estimated mobile. By the way, O3 is proportional to temperature, but it is Inversely proportional to humility. The seasons distribution of VOCs showed most abundant species included 2-butanone, toluene, and n-pentane in spring, while included toluene, acetone, m,p-xylene, and methyl methacrylate in summer. According to percent composition, most abundant categories in spring and summer were both aromatics, ketones, and alkanes. The TVOC concentration was spring (164.6 μg/m3) higher than summer (116.4 μg/m3). The time periods distribution of VOCs showed most abundant categories included aromatics and ketones in morning and evening, while included aromatics and alkanes in night. The TVOC concentration of evening (163.2 ± 62.7 μg/m3) was highest, followed by night (159.9 ± 87.4 μg/m3), Lowest was morning (98.4 ± 32.3 μg/m3). Results showed alkanes and alkenes own higher concentration in night, ketones and esters in evening, and aromatics in evening and night. The reason is related with sunshine, inversion layer, and lower wind speed. By the way, TVOC is proportional to temperature. In spring, the OFP was 566.0 μg-O3/m3, OFP/TVOC was 3.44. In summer the OFP was 629.3 μg-O3/m3, OFP/TVOC was 5.41. It was worth mentioning highest OFP categories in spring and summer was both aromatics (332.2 μg-O3/m3, 380.3 μg-O3/m3), and highest OFP species was toluene (138.8 μg-O3/m3) and methyl methacrylate (171.7 μg-O3/m3) , respectively. The results from factor analyses showed the predominant source included mobile polluted source, petrol evaporation, related electronic industry, metallurgy industry, refinery, and architectural coatings escape in spring. The predominant source included mobile polluted source, petrol evaporation, plastic industry, steel industry, and related electronic industry in summer.
