During the epidemic period, Urumqi has been sealed off from the city’s management, just as “suspended” state.From an environmental point of view, the reduction of energy consumption during the closure of the city can be considered as an energy control to study the resulting reduction of atmospheric pollutant concentration changes.In this paper, the monitoring data of air pollutant concentration in the same period of city closure and normal years are compared, and the results show that the air pollutant concentration has decreased in different degrees during the period of city closure.The largest decrease was44.66% for NO2, -40.13% for CO, -36.44% for PM2.5, and the smallest was-2.06% for SO2.Multivariate analysis of variance showed that energy control had a significant effect on the concentration of pollutants during the city closure, for example NO2 (F=128.96, Sig.=0.000), PM10 (F=29.58, Sig=0.000), PM2.5 (F=13.98, Sig.=0.000), CO(F=46.34;Sig.=0.000). Through the analysis of the data, it can be concluded that the air quality of Urumqi in winter is poor and the concentration of pollutants is high. The energy control during the closing period played a positive role in pollutant emission reduction and effectively improved the quality of atmospheric environment.
