Analysis of atmospheric SO2 in Sichuan-Chongqing region based on OMI data.

The Sichuan-Chongqing region is the leader and growth pole of economic development in western China. With the rapid development of economy and unique geographical environment, high concentration of sulfur dioxide air pollution has existed for a long time in Sichuan-Chongqing area. Based on 10 years of remote sensing data, this paper studies the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics, stability, and influencing factors of sulfur dioxide in this area. Based on potential sources, the impact of surrounding areas on sulfur dioxide in Sichuan and Chongqing is analyzed. The results shows that the spatial distribution of sulfur dioxide in the Sichuan-Chongqing region is higher in the southeast and lower in the west. The Midwest region has low fluctuation and good stability. The time distribution shows obvious seasonal regularity. The concentration of sulfur dioxide is affected by socio-economic factors and natural factors. In this study, it is found that the distribution of sulfur dioxide is closely related to PM2.5, which provides an important reference for the comprehensive management of air pollution. The OMI data effectively reflects the distribution and change of atmospheric sulfur dioxide in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, and provides certain ideas for air pollution control in the Sichuan-Chongqing region and other regions in China.
