Due to the lockdown measures in response to the COVID-19 epidemic, air pollutant concentrations in Wuhan decreased significantly, but O-3 concentrations increased. This suggests that traditional emission reduction measures may not be effective in reducing surface O-3 concentrations, and specific VOC-related measures should be considered.
To prevent the spread of the COVID 19 epidemic, the Chinese megacity Wuhan has taken emergent lockdown measures starting on January 23, 2020. This provided a natural experiment to investigate the response of air quality to such emission reductions. Here, we decoupled the influence of meteorological and non-meteorological factors on main air pollutants using generalized additive models (GAMs), driven by data from the China National Environmental Monitoring Center (CNEMC) network. During the lockdown period (Jan. 23 - Apr. 8, 2020), PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, and CO concentrations decreased significantly by 45 %, 49 %, 56 %, 39 %, and 18 % compared with the corresponding period in 2015 2019, with contributions by S(meteos) of 15 %, 17 %, 13 %, 10 %, and 6 %. This indicates an emission reduction of NCL, at least 43 %. However, O-3 increased by 43 % with a contribution by S(meteos) of 6 %. In spite of the reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions by 30 % during the strict lockdown period (Jan. 23 - Feb. 14, 2020), which likely reduced the production of O-3, O-3 concentrations increased due to a weakening of the titration effect of NO. Our results suggest that conventional emission reduction (NOx reduction only) measures may not be sufficient to reduce (or even lead to an increase of) surface O-3 concentrations, even if reaching the limit, and VOC-specific measures should also be taken.
