Elevated particle acidity enhanced the sulfate formation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Zhengzhou, China

Jieru Yang et al.

Summary: The significant decrease in PM2.5 mass concentration after the outbreak of COVID-19 provided an opportunity to study the formation mechanism of secondary inorganic aerosols. Research conducted in Zhengzhou found that during the COVID-lockdown period, nitrate and sulfate were the main components, and nitrate formation was influenced by ozone and particle acidity.

Targeting Atmospheric Oxidants Can Better Reduce Sulfate Aerosol in China: H2O2 Aqueous Oxidation Pathway Dominates Sulfate Formation in Haze

Jie Gao et al.

Summary: By utilizing online observations and developing an improved model, this study found that the H2O2 pathway has a significant impact on sulfate formation in the atmosphere of Tianjin, China. The collaborative effects of oxidants and SO2 on sulfate aerosol production were also investigated.

Dust emission reduction enhanced gas-to-particle conversion of ammonia in the North China Plain

Yongchun Liu et al.

Summary: Researchers found that the formation rate of particulate ammonium is slower in the atmosphere than in the laboratory, but is accelerated due to increased aerosol acidity caused by a reduction in dust emissions in North China Plain. Ammonium salt plays a significant role in PM2.5 and has important impacts on air quality, climate, and ecosystems. However, there is still a lack of fundamental understanding of the conversion kinetics from ammonia to ammonium in environments with high aerosol loading.

Enhanced secondary pollution offset reduction of primary emissions during COVID-19 lockdown in China

Xin Huang et al.

Summary: The study indicates that during the COVID lockdown, haze was mainly driven by enhanced secondary pollution, particularly due to the significant decrease in NOx emissions from transportation. This highlights the need for a coordinated and balanced strategy to control multiple pollutants for haze mitigation.

Formation of droplet-mode secondary inorganic aerosol dominated the increased PM2.5 during both local and transport haze episodes in Zhengzhou, China

Shenbo Wang et al.

Summary: The size distribution and formation of secondary inorganic aerosol are key factors affecting the increase of PM2.5 concentration. Local processes were mainly influenced by local pollutant sources, while transport processes were affected by air mass transport. Different processes exhibited different particle size ranges and contributions to PM2.5 concentration growth.

Sulfate formation is dominated by manganese-catalyzed oxidation of SO2 on aerosol surfaces during haze events

Weigang Wang et al.

Summary: Sulfate aerosols are an important component of wintertime haze events in China, with their production mechanisms not well understood. Research suggests that transition metal-catalyzed oxidation of SO2 on aerosol surfaces could be the dominant sulfate formation pathway in Northern China.

Isotopic evidence for acidity-driven enhancement of sulfate formation after SO2 emission control

Shohei Hattori et al.

Summary: Since the 1980s, there has been a slower reduction in atmospheric sulfate compared to dramatic decreases in sulfur dioxide emissions. However, recent observations from a Greenland ice core show an increase in the oxygen isotopic composition of sulfate, indicating that acidity-dependent in-cloud oxidation by ozone has played a larger role in sulfate production since the 1960s. Global chemical transport models confirm an increase in conversion efficiency from SO2 to sulfate in Eastern North America and Western Europe, suggesting a continuing feedback mechanism that may hinder future air quality improvements.

Acidity and the multiphase chemistry of atmospheric aqueous particles and clouds

Andreas Tilgner et al.

Summary: The acidity of aqueous atmospheric solutions plays a crucial role in the partitioning of trace gases, aqueous-phase chemistry, and environmental impacts. Atmospheric research has made significant progress in understanding the feedbacks between acidity and multiphase chemistry, highlighting the need for further investigations and advancements in measurements and modeling tools.
