Enhanced secondary pollution offset reduction of primary emissions during COVID-19 lockdown in China

Xin Huang et al.

Summary: The study indicates that during the COVID lockdown, haze was mainly driven by enhanced secondary pollution, particularly due to the significant decrease in NOx emissions from transportation. This highlights the need for a coordinated and balanced strategy to control multiple pollutants for haze mitigation.

Significant concurrent decrease in PM2.5 and NO2 concentrations in China during COVID-19 epidemic

Biwu Chu et al.

Summary: The strict control measures and social lockdowns implemented to combat the COVID-19 epidemic have significantly reduced air pollutant concentrations, particularly NO2 and PM2.5. Research supports reducing PM2.5 pollution by controlling NOx but also emphasizes the need for coordinated control of other pollutants.

Spatiotemporal variations and reduction of air pollutants during the COVID-19 pandemic in a megacity of Yangtze River Delta in China

Qi Yuan et al.

Summary: Air pollution has become a significant environmental issue in the megacities of eastern China. Controlling air pollution remains challenging, but the COVID-19 lockdown provided valuable insights into pollutant reductions. During the lockdown in Hangzhou, PM2.5, NOx, and CO concentrations decreased, highlighting the potential for future control and forecasting efforts in similar megacities.

Abrupt but smaller than expected changes in surface air quality attributable to COVID-19 lockdowns

Zongbo Shi et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 lockdowns resulted in decreased NO2 concentrations and increased O-3 concentrations in most cities, with reductions in PM2.5 concentrations as well. However, the actual air quality improvements were likely more limited than previously believed based on some earlier reports or observational data.

Aerosol characteristics at the Southern Great Plains site during the HI-SCALE campaign

Jiumeng Liu et al.

Summary: The HI-SCALE campaign conducted in Oklahoma aimed to better understand land-atmosphere interactions, aerosol and cloud properties, and the influence of aerosol sources on cloud formation. Observations at the SGP ground site revealed highly oxidized organic aerosols, with biogenic emissions largely controlling the formation of organic aerosol.
