Every summer, ozone pollution becomes the "number one killer" of good weather, and ozone control has also become the top priority in the fight against air pollution. At the end of June, in accordance with the deployment requirements of Henan Province for summer volatile organic compounds, in order to further reduce ozone pollution, the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, in conjunction with Sinopec Henan Branch and CNPC Henan Branch, carried out summer and autumn night refueling promotion activities. Now that a month has passed, how are the results? Have there been any significant changes in the number of car owners refueling at night? On the evening of July 27, the reporter visited some gas stations in Zhengzhou city.
The number of refueling vehicles increased from 8 pm to 9 pm, and the staff's get off work time was delayed by two hours.

"Look at if my electronic coupon can be used?" Mr. Zhang said, "It can be used. You are refueling electronic coupons at night, including oil coupons, non-oil coupons, car wash coupons, etc.." The staff replied. Mr. Zhang lives in the Hi-Tech Zone. According to him, he has participated in four night refueling promotions.

Yu Jie said, "There are relatively more gas refueling vehicles between 8:00 and 9:00 pm. In order to cooperate with the staggered gas refueling policy, our working hours have also been adjusted. For example, the motor shift's leave time was delayed from 9:00 to 11:00 pm, and of course the working time has also been relatively delayed."
"Since the event started, the average number of gas refueling vehicles increased by our gas station every night is 50 to 70, and the amount of gas sold at night is about 1,500L per day." Zhang Xiaoxiao introduced.

Why does refueling at night help reduce ozone pollution?
Why is refueling at night more environmentally friendly? On the evening of the 27th, many car owners who came to refuel were not very clear about this.
Since 2020, although the environmental air quality in the province has continued to improve, the prevention and control of ozone pollution is still the most difficult problem to overcome the biggest air pollution.In the first half of 2020, the ozone concentration of in Zhengzhou was 191 micrograms/cubic meter, an increase of 5 micrograms/cubic meter year-on-year (up 2.69%), becoming the only one among the six pollution factors. Luoyang lost 25 excellent days due to the impact of ozone in the first half of the year.
So why does refueling at night helps reduce ozone pollution?
Under high temperatures and light conditions in summer, a large number of volatile organic matter emitted in human production and life undergoes a photochemical reaction with nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere, which will cause ozone to exceed the standard.
ozone concentration generally starts to increase in May and reaches its highest level in August, and gradually decreases after autumn. Controlling volatile mechanism emissions in summer and autumn is the main method and task to reduce ozone pollution. In accordance with the unified deployment of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Henan Provincial Pollution Prevention and Control Office has carried out the summer (June-September) volatile organic compounds (VOCs) control campaign across the province, and regards the oil and gas treatment of gas stations, tankers and oil storage tankers as an important task, including summer high temperatures and light periods, reducing oil and gas emissions at gas stations, etc.
Dahe Daily reporter learned that in order to further curb ozone pollution, the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment has carried out special law enforcement actions involving volatile organic compounds across the province. 6,757 four types of VOCs-related enterprises in the province, including petrochemical, chemical, industrial coating, packaging and printing, etc., are the key law enforcement targets. Zhengzhou City formulated the "Zhengzhou City Summer 2020 VOCs governance plan", comprehensively improving the VOCs governance capacity. Through hierarchical and classified management, the ozone concentration in June decreased by 0.5% year-on-year, and the ozone concentration in the country was upgraded from the 12th in May to the 34th in reverse; the number of excellent days in June reached 12 days, an increase of 5 days year-on-year. From June 1 to July 14, Zhengzhou City had 18 excellent days, an increase of 7 days year-on-year.
