Abstract: In order to understand the radiation environmental quality status in the air near the ground in Mianyang,grasp its changing trend,and to explore the source of near surface aerosol and its significance for tracing the concentration of near surface O3,the aerosol samples were analyzed in detail from Anzhou District,Jiangyou City,Zitong county and Pingwu County of Mianyang city from March 2018 to February 2019.In general,the activity concentration of 7Be was higher in spring and autumn,and the lowest level was in summer,with an annual average of 1.90-2.13 mBq/m3,which was basically consistent with the global distribution characteristics of inland,mid latitude and low altitude areas.The annual average of 210Pb activity concentration was 1.24-1.66 mBq/m3,which was the relatively high value of 210Pb activity concentration on the global land.Through the correlation analysis and P value test of 7Be,10Pb and 7Be/210Pb ratios in near surface aerosols and O3,the results show that there is a very significant positive correlation between 7Be/210Pb ratio and near surface O3,which can be used as a good tracer for the source of O3 in the near surface air.The source of O3 in the near surface air in Zitong and Pingwu counties in Mianyang city is greatly affected by the vertical convection.
