Revealing Drivers of Haze Pollution by Explainable Machine Learning

Linlu Hou et al.

Summary: This study used machine learning methods to investigate the roles of meteorological factors, emissions, and chemistry in five severe haze episodes that occurred before or during the COVID-19 lockdown in China. The study found that in addition to high levels of primary emissions, meteorological factors played a dominant role in PM2.5 pollution in these episodes, followed by chemistry.

Understanding Sources and Drivers of Size-Resolved Aerosol in the High Arctic Islands of Svalbard Using a Receptor Model Coupled with Machine Learning

Congbo Song et al.

Summary: This study investigated the sources and drivers of particle numbers of different sizes in Svalbard using a receptor model and explainable machine learning technique. The results showed that meteorology played a crucial role in regulating the monthly variations of particles. Secondary and nucleation aerosols were found to be the major contributors to potential cloud condensation nuclei in the Arctic, and the response of biogenic and local dust particles to temperature was nonlinear, indicating the importance of melting sea ice and snow.

Enhanced natural releases of mercury in response to the reduction in anthropogenic emissions during the COVID-19 lockdown by explainable machine learning

Xiaofei Qin et al.

Summary: The spread of COVID-19 has led to a significant reduction in atmospheric mercury emissions. Before the lockdown, anthropogenic sources dominated mercury pollution, while during and after the lockdown, natural sources became the main drivers. Surprisingly, the absolute contribution of natural surface emissions to atmospheric mercury increased by 44% during the lockdown. There was a significant negative correlation between the contributions of natural and anthropogenic sources throughout the study period.

Wildfire smoke impacts respiratory health more than fine particles from other sources: observational evidence from Southern California

Rosana Aguilera et al.

Summary: Wildfires are becoming more frequent and destructive due to climate change, with PM2.5 in wildfire smoke adversely impacting human health. Recent studies suggest wildfire PM2.5 may be more toxic than other sources of PM2.5. Adjusting air quality policies to consider the variability in PM2.5 impacts from different emission sources is essential.

Control of particulate nitrate air pollution in China

Shixian Zhai et al.

Summary: The concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in China decreased by 30-50% from 2013 to 2018 due to emission controls, but the nitrate component did not decrease effectively. Increased particulate nitrate concentration during winter haze pollution events is attributed to the particulate fraction transitioning from gaseous nitric acid. Reducing ammonia emissions is suggested as an effective method to decrease the nitrate component of fine particulate matter pollution in the North China Plain.

Tracking Air Pollution in China: Near Real-Time PM2.5 Retrievals from Multisource Data Fusion

Guannan Geng et al.

Summary: The study introduces a near real-time air pollutant database named Tracking Air Pollution in China (TAP), which combines ground observations, satellite AOD, and other data sources to provide daily 10 km resolution PM2.5 data. The database utilizes a two-stage machine learning model to estimate PM2.5 concentrations, improving performance at high pollution levels and filling gaps in AOD data. The availability of daily PM2.5 data for tracking changes over time and long-term records since 2000 will support policy assessments and health impact studies.

Source sector and fuel contributions to ambient PM2.5 and attributable mortality across multiple spatial scales

Erin E. McDuffie et al.

Summary: Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is one of the most important environmental health risk factors in many regions. The authors assessed PM2.5 emission sources and related health impacts across global to sub-national scales, finding that over 1 million deaths were avoidable in 2017 by eliminating PM2.5 mass associated with fossil fuel combustion emissions.

Insights into particulate matter pollution in the North China Plain during wintertime: local contribution or regional transport?

Jiarui Wu et al.

Summary: Accurate identification and quantitative source apportionment of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is essential to reduce pollution. The study in North China Plain found that during a haze event, local emissions contributed 36.3% of PM2.5 mass in Beijing, while nonlocal emissions contributed 63.7%. Nonlocal emissions have a greater impact on PM2.5 levels in Beijing and Tianjin, while local emissions play a larger role in Hebei and Shandong.
