Rapid economic growth has given rise to a signif- icant increase in ozone precursor emissions in many regions of China, especially in the densely populated North China Plain (NCP) and Yangtze River Delta (YRD). Improved un- derstanding of ozone formation in response to different pre- cursor emissions is imperative to address the highly nonlin- ear ozone problem and to provide a solid scientific basis for efficient ozone abatement in these regions. A comparative study on ozone photochemical production in summer has thus been carried out in the megacities of Tianjin (NCP) and Shanghai (YRD). Two intensive field campaigns were carried out respectively at an urban and a suburban site of Tianjin, in addition to routine monitoring of trace gases in Shanghai, providing data sets of surface ozone and its precursors in- cluding nitrogen oxides (NOx) and various non-methane hy- drocarbons (NMHCs). Ozone pollution in summer was found to be more severe in the Tianjin region than in the Shang- hai region, based on either the frequency or the duration of high ozone events. Such differences might be attributed to the large amount of highly reactive NMHCs in Tianjin. Industry related species like light alkenes were of particular impor- tance in both urban and suburban Tianjin, while in Shang- hai aromatics dominated. In general, the ozone problem in Shanghai is on an urban scale. Stringent control policies on local emissions would help reduce the occurrence of high ozone concentrations. By contrast, ozone pollution in Tianjin is probably a regional problem. Combined efforts to reduce ozone precursor emissions on a regional scale must be under- taken to bring the ozone problem under control.
