The contribution of residential coal combustion to PM2.5 pollution over China's Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in winter
AbstractThe Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region experiences severe haze episodes throughout the year, and especially during the winter heating season. Residential combustion of coal has increasing been cited as a possible source for the PM2.5 pollution that causes the haze episodes. To investigate these claims, a WRF-CMAQ system is used to reproduce the regional haze episodes observed during December 2015. The contribution of residential coal combustion to PM2.5 concentrations in the BTH region is quantified using the Brute Force approach. Across the region, residential coal combustion contributed 46% of the monthly averaged PM2.5 concentration (3% each from Beijing and Tianjin and 40% from Hebei Province). During the haze episodes, the contribution varied between 30 and 57%. At the city scale, the contribution ranged from 22 to 58% averaged across the month and 15–65% during the haze episodes. Langfang was the city that was the most affected by residential coal combustion in the BTH region. The large contribution to air pollution in Tianjin and Beijing from households in Hebei Province suggests that regional control measures are required.
