Accelerated toluene degradation over forests around megacities in southern China

Qinqin Li et al.

Summary: Toluene, a common anthropogenic pollutant, shows unexpectedly low concentrations in a subtropical forest near a major urban area in southern China. Air masses from urban areas have higher toluene levels and faster degradation rates, indicating the role of forests in accelerating the removal of pollutants from the atmosphere.

Aerosol Promotes Peroxyacetyl Nitrate Formation During Winter in the North China Plain

Wanyun Xu et al.

Summary: The study found that high concentrations of PAN in winter are mainly caused by VOC aging processes involving OH oxidation or photolysis, rather than ozonolysis pathways. Additionally, heterogeneous reactions on aerosols supplied key photochemical oxidants, promoting the formation of OVOC and PAN, explaining the intercorrelation between PM2.5-OVOC-PAN.

Unexpected seasonal variations and high levels of ozone observed at the summit of Nanling Mountains: Impact of Asian monsoon on southern China

Yu Wang et al.

Summary: Five-year continuous O-3 measurements at the summit of Nanling Mountains in southern China revealed a unique seasonal cycle with O-3 maximum in mid-autumn and minimum in summer, primarily influenced by the Asian monsoon. O-3 levels at Nanling were higher than other similar mountainous background sites, indicating a strong impact of anthropogenic emissions from the Pearl River Delta/northern China region on O-3 pollution in this mountainous background area.

Characteristics of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) in the high-elevation background atmosphere of South-Central China: Implications for regional photochemical pollution

Daocheng Gong et al.

Summary: High and increasing PAN concentrations indicate the severity of photochemical pollution in China. The study reveals that the central and southern regions of China contribute significantly to PAN, while the Pearl River Delta region has a relatively minor contribution. Furthermore, the results demonstrate significant improvements in air quality in the PRD region.

Formation of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) and its impact on ozone production in the coastal atmosphere of Qingdao, North China

Yuhong Liu et al.

Summary: Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) plays a crucial role in ozone formation in the coastal atmosphere, with its formation controlled by both NOx and VOCs. The study reveals that the sensitivity of PAN to precursors varies with season and temperature, impacting its effects on O-3 production.
