The long-term trends of PM10, O3 and NOx concentrations were analyzed using
Holland model (without meteorological-adjusted) and MM-Regression model (with
meteorological-adjusted) based on the data of ten EPA air quality stations from 1997
to 2006 in Kao-Ping area. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of
meteorological factors on the trends of these pollutants in Kao-Ping.
The annual variations (AV) of O3 was −0.496 % in Kaohsiung county, −0.200 in
Pingtung county, and 0.277 % in Kaohsiung city, showing different characteristics in
Kao-Pin area. On average, the annual variations (AV) influenced by meteorological
factors were: PM10: 0.205 %, O3: −0.127 %, and NOx: 0.338 %. After being adjusted
by meteorological factors, the seasonal variations (SV) were about 1, indicating little
seasonal change.
In Kao-Ping region, the influence by meteorological factors was 9.566 %, 8.026
% and 7.351 % in PM10, O3, NOx, respectively. In total, the average influence was
8.314% in Kao-Ping region, with 7.791% in Kaohsiung city (8.481% at Cianjin, the
most influenced area), 9.439% in Kaohsiung County (10.368% at Linyuan, the most
influenced area), and 7.110% in Pingtung County (7.516% at Chaojhou, the most
influenced area). PM10 was influenced most by meteorological factors (PM10: 9.566
%, O3: 8.026 %, NOx: 7.351 %) in Kao-Ping area..
In Kao-Ping region, the contributions by individual meteorological factors were
70.78% in wind speed, 38.23% in total cloudiness, 36.56% in sunshine hour, 19.86%
in temperature, 12.40% in atmospheric pressure, 5.96% in relative humidity and
1.27% in wind direction. The influences by the wind speed were 66.62 %, 72.35 %
and 72.31 % on the concentrations of PM10, O3, NOx, respectively. Wind speed was
the most important factor controlling concentration trends in Kao-Ping area.
