To clarify the concentration characteristics and sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a typical northwestern petrochemical park during summer, continuous monitoring of 116 VOCs was conducted from June to July 2024. The measured VOC (MVOCs) concentrations were obtained, and the initial VOC (InVOCs) and consumed VOC (CVOCs) concentrations were calculated. Whereafter, the positive matrix factorization (PMF) was used to analyze the sources of MVOCs and InVOCs, the principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to identify the sources of CVOCs, and the contribution of the major factors of each VOC source to ozone (O3) formation was also calculated. The results indicated that during the observation period, oxygenated VOCs (OVOCs) and alkanes exhibited the highest concentration contributions among both the measured total VOCs (M-TVOC) and the initial total VOCs (In-TVOC), with a diurnal variation characterized by bimodal peaks in the morning and evening. The consumed total VOCs (C-TVOC) exhibited a strong correlation (r = 0.89) with the diurnal variation of O3 concentrations, with alkenes and OVOCs being the dominant contributing species. Among the top ten ozone formation potential (OFP) species for all three VOCs categories, alkenes and aldehydes were predominant. .The sources of MVOCs and InVOCs were ranked as follows: petrochemical sources > combustion sources > vehicle emissions > biogenic emissions > solvent utilization sources.. As for CVOCs, the sources were identified aspetrochemical sources (51.1%) > gasoline evaporation (26.0%) > biogenic emissions (18.2%) > solvent utilization sources (4.8%). Among these, petrochemical sources were identified as the largest contributor to O3formation. The results indicated that reducing emissions from petrochemical sources, combustion sources, and vehicle emissions is an effective strategy for controlling summer VOCs around the park. Additionally, cutting emissions from petrochemical sources and solvent utilization sources can significantly decrease the contribution of VOCs to O3 formation.
