Spatial variation, multi-meteorological factors and potential source analysis of air pollutants in Chengdu megacity of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle

Affected by unique topography, meteorological factors and high emission sources, it is crucial to have an in-depth understanding of the air pollution characteristics of Chengdu megacity. This research investigated the spatial evolution features of the six criteria pollutants in Chengdu from 2014 to...
