Abstract: Based on the six air pollutants concentrations in the middle reaches of the Yellow River Basin (Shanxi section and Shaanxi section) in the winter of 2015-2019, this paper studies the variation characteristics of air pollutants in the middle reaches of the Yellow River Basin in winter. The results show that the concentrations of PM10 and CO in the middle reaches of the Yellow River Basin decrease continuously from 2015 to 2019, and the O3 concentration continues to increase, and the average concentrations of PM2.5, SO2 and NO2 increase firstly and then decrease. The concentrations of NO2, CO, PM2.5, PM10 and SO2 are the lowest in 2019. The average concentration of O3 is the highest in winter of 2019 (54 μg/m3). The concentration of PM2.5 in the lower reaches of the study area is higher than that in the upper reaches, and gradually increases from north to south along the Yellow River. The concentration of PM2.5 in the Shanxi section of the east side of the Yellow River is higher than that in the Shaanxi section of the west side. The spatial distribution of PM10 concentration in the study area changes from high in the East and low in the west of the Yellow River in 2015-2016 to low in the upstream and high in the downstream in 2017-2019. The concentration of SO2 in the east bank of the Yellow River is higher than that in the west bank. The high NO2 value region change from the lower west of the Yellow River in 2015-2017 to the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River in 2018-2019. The high CO concentration area is located in the lower reaches of the east side of the Yellow River. The spatial distribution of O3 concentration is not obvious, but the concentration increases significantly in recent five years. So we need to strengthen the monitoring and prevention of ozone in the future.

Key words: middle reaches of the Yellow River, air pollutants, air quality, spatio-temporal distribution
