Abstract

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a common air pollutant. Excessive SO2 can have adverse effects on human health. SO2 emissions are not only affected by industrial production, but also from people’s daily life. This study used the daily data of sulfur dioxide in Sanming City from 2015 to 2018 to analyze the holiday effect on the SO2 concentration in Sanming City. The results showed that the concentration of summer and autumn working days in Sanming City is greater than that of holidays; the concentration of holidays in spring and winter is higher than that of working days. The proportion of sulfur dioxide concentration in the Spring Festival holiday in the year of 2015-2017 is increasing year by year. This study reveals the holiday effect of sulfur dioxide concentration in Sanming City, which has important practical significance for controlling sulfur dioxide pollution in Sanming City and improving the quality of local atmospheric environment.
