VOCs concentrations based on offline sampling in Suzhou from July to October 2020 were monitored, and temporal and spatial distribution characteristics, ozone formation potential (OFP) and sources of VOCs were conducted and compared with other studies in China. The results showed that the average concentration of VOCs in Suzhou in the summer is 47.1 nL/L, the average OFP is 334.7 μg/m³, and the aromatic hydrocarbons and oxygenated organics (OVOCs) are important components of VOCs in Suzhou and contribute a lot to ozone generation. The trends of VOCs concentration and composition in Suzhou are similar with those in Shanghai. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) model results showed that six major sources of VOCs in Suzhou are liquefied petroleum gas volatilization sources (20.7%), solvent usage sources (19.5%) and industrial sources (17.5%), followed by other sources, vehicle exhaust emission sources and combustion sources, in which the contribution of liquefied petroleum gas volatilization sources is higher than the general level in Yangtze River Delta. The higher concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons in the Yangtze River Delta is related to the higher contribution of industrial and solvent uses. In general, aromatic hydrocarbons and OVOCs have a greater impact on the atmospheric environment of Suzhou. The main sources are surface coating, gas stations, traffic emission, petrochemical sources and electric heating sources, which should be mainly controlled.
