<abstract>
<p>Air quality directly affects the health and living of human beings, and it receives wide concern of public and
attaches great important of governments at all levels. The estimation of the concentration distribution of PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; and
the analysis of its impacting factors is significant for understanding the spatial distribution regularity and further
for decision supporting of governments. In this study, multiple sources of remote sensing and GIS data are utilized
to estimate the spatial distribution of PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; concentration in Shijiazhuang, China, by utilizing multivariate linear
regression modelling, and integrating year average values of PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; collected from local environment observing
stations. Two major sources of PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; are collected, including dust surfaces and industrial polluting sources. The
area attribute of dust surfaces and point attribute of industrial polluting enterprises are extracted from high
resolution remote sensing images and GIS data in 2013. 30m land cover products, annual average PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt;
concentration values from the 8 environment monitoring stations, annual mean MODIS AOD data, traffic and
DEM data are utilized in the study for regression modeling analysis. The multivariate regression analysis model is
applied to estimate the spatial distribution of PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; concentration. There is an upward trend of the spatial
distribution of PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; concentration gradually from west to east, of which the highest concentration appears in the
municipal district and its surrounding areas. The spatial distribution pattern relatively fit the reality.</p>
