Effects of anthropogenic and sea salt aerosols on a heavy rainfall event during the early-summer rainy season over coastal Southern China

Jiaxu Guo et al.

Summary: The effects of anthropogenic and sea salt aerosols on heavy rainfall in coastal areas were investigated using a model. The results showed different initial responses of clouds to these aerosols, with increased anthropogenic aerosols causing larger cloud droplets while sea salt aerosols resulted in fewer but larger cloud droplets. In polluted environments, rain number concentration was reduced and raindrops became larger and faster, leading to a shift in the distribution of surface hourly rain rate towards higher values. The accumulation of 24-hour rainfall increased in the centers but only slightly on average. The inclusion of sea salt aerosols further weakened the microphysical processes and convective intensity, resulting in a shift towards lower hourly rain rates and a slight decrease in the average 24-hour rainfall accumulation. The overall impacts of aerosols, especially sea salt aerosols, were small due to the strong synoptic forcing controlling the heavy rainfall production in this case.

Air pollution characteristics, health risks, and source analysis in Shanxi Province, China

Hui Song et al.

Summary: The study revealed that air pollution in Shanxi Province is worsening, with cities such as Taiyuan, Yangquan, and Changzhi being heavily polluted areas. While particulate matter remains the major pollutant, nitrogen dioxide and ozone have shown a dominant trend recently. Health risks in Shanxi are relatively high, with PM, sulfur dioxide, and ozone being the main contributors. Southern Shanxi has the highest pollution level and health risks, while Datong is the least polluted region. Urbanization, population size, civil vehicles, coal-based heavy industries, and high-energy consumption are identified as the main driving forces of air pollution in the region.

Characteristics of particulate matter and meteorological conditions of a typical air-pollution episode in Shenyang, northeastern China, in winter 2017

Yuche Liu et al.

Summary: A severe haze event occurred in Shenyang, NEC from 5-9 January 2017, caused by energy consumption and domestic emissions. Meteorological data, ground-based Lidar extinction coefficients, and MODIS aerosol optical products indicated that northeastern wind, high humidity, and increased pressure led to particle accumulation and decreased visibility.

Long-term effects of outdoor air pollution on mortality and morbidity-prediction using nonlinear autoregressive and artificial neural networks models

Davood Namdar Khojasteh et al.

Summary: The research aimed to explore the long-term effects of air pollution on respiratory morbidity and mortality, and to develop accurate prediction models. The study found that nitrogen monoxide and carbon monoxide had significant effects on respiratory mortality, while other pollutants (NO2, SO2, O-3, PM10) had no significant impact on respiratory morbidity and mortality.

Spatial-temporal variation characteristics of air pollution and apportionment of contributions by different sources in Shanxi province of China

Xiaoxuan Bai et al.

Summary: The study on pollutant concentrations and source apportionment in Shanxi from 2012 to 2015 found significant decreases in primary air pollutants emissions, but heavy contaminated areas showed little improvement, with Taiyuan and Linfen still highly polluted. The effectiveness of emission reduction measures varies by city, suggesting the need for season-specific actions for better regional air quality and public health protection.

Spatial and temporal variation of aerosol optical depths over six major cities in Bangladesh

Shahid Uz Zaman et al.

Summary: This study examines the aerosol optical depth behaviors of six major cities in Bangladesh over the past seven years, analyzing trends, seasonal variations, sources, comparisons between ground and satellite measurements, and relationships with particulate matter. The research reveals high AOD values in western parts of the country across all seasons, with decreasing patterns observed from northwest to southeast. The study also finds that anthropogenic and biomass burning aerosols dominate in all seasons, while dust and mixed type aerosols are only prevalent in pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons.

Establishment and verification of anthropogenic volatile organic compound emission inventory in a typical coal resource-based city*

Yueyuan Niu et al.

Summary: This study established and verified VOC emission inventory in a coal resource-based city using two methods in Yangquan. The verification results showed that the EF method was accurate to a certain extent, but underestimated emissions for certain species due to the absence of coal gangue emissions.
