Mineral dust and NOx promote the conversion of SO2 to sulfate in heavy pollution days

TL;DR: A new mechanism of haze formation is reported, in which coexistence with NOx can reduce the environmental capacity for SO2, leading to rapid conversion of SO2 to sulfate because NO2 and SO2 have a synergistic effect when they react on the surface of mineral dust.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrasting trends of PM2.5 and surface-ozone concentrations in China from 2013 to 2017

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Chinese government was successful in the reduction of particulate matter in urban areas from 2013 to 2017, although the ozone concentration has increased significantly, suggesting a more complex mechanism of improving Chinese air quality in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid growth of new atmospheric particles by nitric acid and ammonia condensation.

Mingyi Wang, +86 more
- 14 May 2020 - 
TL;DR: Measurements in the CLOUD chamber at CERN show that the rapid condensation of ammonia and nitric acid vapours could be important for the formation and survival of new particles in wintertime urban conditions, contributing to urban smog.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atmospheric new particle formation in China

TL;DR: In this paper, the particle formation (NPF) studies in China were summarized comprehensively and compared among the observations carried out at different types of sites in different regions of China in different seasons, with the aim of exploring the nucleation and particle growth mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Significant concurrent decrease in PM 2.5 and NO 2 concentrations in China during COVID-19 epidemic

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the temporal variation and spatial distribution of air pollutant concentrations in China during COVID-19 epidemic and found that the decreases in PM2.5 and NO2 concentrations showed relatively consistent temporal variation.
