Atmospheric oxidizing capacity in autumn Beijing: Analysis of the O3 and PM2.5 episodes based on observation-based model

Chenhui Jia et al.

Summary: This study investigates the distribution and influencing factors of AOC during O-3 and PM2.5 episodes in downtown Beijing through a comprehensive field campaign. It is found that hydroxyl radical (OH) is the dominant oxidant in both episodes. Different precursor pollutants result in different radical loss mechanisms and types of air pollution.

Tracking PM2.5 and O3 Pollution and the Related Health Burden in China 2013-2020

Qingyang Xiao et al.

Summary: Based on exposure data sets, this study investigated the spatiotemporal variations in PM2.5 and O3 exposures during 2013-2020, finding a decrease in national PM2.5 exposure but worsened O3 pollution. The improved air quality led to a reduction in premature deaths related to both long- and short-term exposures compared to 2013, with a greater reduction in long-term exposure-related deaths observed in 2017-2020 due to the nonlinear exposure-response curve. Efforts are needed for coordinated control of PM2.5 and O3 for future air quality improvements.

Multi-scale analysis of the impacts of meteorology and emissions on PM2.5 and O3 trends at various regions in China from 2013 to 2020 2. Key weather elements and emissions

Sunling Gong et al.

Summary: A multiscale analysis was conducted to investigate the impacts of large-scale circulation types and local-scale key weather elements on complex air pollutants in China. The study found that the increasing trends of O-3 in most Chinese cities were largely influenced by temperature and solar radiation, while the trends of PM2.5 were mainly contributed by emission reduction measures. The meteorology alone explained approximately 57-80% of the variations in O-3 levels and only 20-33% of the variations in PM2.5 levels. However, with the addition of emission surrogates in the regression model, the explanation percentage increased significantly for both O-3 and PM2.5.

Sunling Gong et al.

Summary: A multiscale analysis was conducted to investigate the impacts of large-scale circulation types and local-scale key weather elements on complex air pollutants (PM2.5 and O-3) in China. The study found that the six clustered circulation patterns were able to classify the circulation patterns that influence the pollutants and showed significant correlations with O-3 and PM2.5 in three regions. It also identified the major circulation patterns governing the high concentrations of PM2.5 and O-3 for each region, which displayed inter-annual variabilities.

PM2.5 and O3 relationships affected by the atmospheric oxidizing capacity the Yangtze River Delta, China

Momei Qin et al.

Summary: The study found a strong positive correlation between AOC and O-3, while the correlation with PM2.5 was weaker. The concentration of precursors in winter may drive secondary aerosol formation, with aqueous or heterogeneous reactions likely playing an important role in high aerosol loadings in the YRD region.

Variation characteristics of air combined pollution in Beijing City

Xiaoyan Wu et al.

Summary: With the implementation of air pollution prevention-control measures, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has decreased while ozone (O3) has increased in urban areas of China. This study analyzed the characteristics of air combined pollution in Beijing from 2014 to 2019 and identified three typical atmospheric chemical stages in the interaction between O3 and PM2.5.

Wenhuan Wang et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Action Plan for Air Pollution Prevention and Control in key areas of China using the difference-in-difference model. The results show significant reductions in PM2.5 and PMcoarse concentrations, as well as synergistic emissions reductions of six other pollutants. Furthermore, the treatment effects in the north are much better than in the south.

The short-term effect of PM2.5/O3on daily mortality from 2013 to 2018 in Hefei, China

Xinmiao Sui et al.

Summary: The study found that an increase in PM2.5 has a certain impact on the daily death rate in Hefei, especially more significant in colder seasons. Females and elderly individuals are more vulnerable to the effects of PM2.5 and O3, while ozone does not show a significant correlation with mortality rates.

Summary: The study evaluates the PM2.5 and ozone-related health impacts in BTHS and FWP cities from 2015 to 2020, showing a 17.14% decrease in PM2.5 health impact and over 90% increase in ozone-related health impact during this period. Significant health risk improvements mainly occurred in 2017 and 2018.

Co-occurrence of ozone and PM2.5 pollution in the Yangtze River Delta over 2013-2019: Spatiotemporal distribution and meteorological conditions

Huibin Dai et al.

Summary: The study investigated the spatial-temporal variations of surface-layer ozone and PM2.5 in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2013 to 2019. It found that while the MDA8 O3 concentrations increased during this period, PM2.5 concentrations decreased. The analysis also showed a small positive correlation between MDA8 O3 and PM2.5 during warm months, with an increased correlation coefficient when long term trends were removed. Co-pollution days of MDA8 O3 and PM2.5 were frequent, particularly in April, May, June, and October. The occurrence of co-pollution in the YRD was mainly influenced by relative humidity, surface air temperature, and wind speed.

Summary: In recent years, China has seen a decrease in ambient fine particle levels but an increase in ground-level ozone concentrations in cities like Beijing. The impact of PM2.5 reduction on ozone formation depends on both PM2.5 levels and the optical properties of particles.

Assessment of meteorology vs. control measures in the China fine particular matter trend from 2013 to 2019 by an environmental meteorology index

Sunling Gong et al.

Summary: The developed framework using Environmental Meteorology Index (EMI) quantitatively evaluates the impact of meteorology on the trend of PM2.5 concentrations in China. It separates the contributions of meteorology from emission control measures, with the latter being the dominant factor in the decrease of PM2.5 concentrations nationwide. Meteorology has a varying but sometimes critical contribution, accounting for 5% of annual average concentrations and 10%-20% during fall-winter heavy pollution seasons.
