TL;DR: The effect of lockdown due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on air pollution in four Southern European cities (Nice, Rome, Valencia and Turin) and Wuhan (China) was quantified, with a focus on ozone (O3) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The scientific underpinnings necessary to better understand the implications of and rationale for selecting a specific TOAR metric for assessing spatial and temporal variation in ozone for a particular impact are provided.

TL;DR: Using O3 exposure-response functions, the costs of O3-induced losses in rice, wheat, forests and forest production, and SOMO35-based morbidity for respiratory diseases and non-accidental mortality are evaluated, representing 7% of the China Gross Domestic Product in 2015.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared historical and projected surface ozone (O3) concentrations simulated by six global atmospheric chemistry transport models on the basis of three representative concentration pathways emission scenarios (i.e., RCP2.6, 4.5, 8.5).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed hourly ozone data from 214 European background sites over the time period 2000e2010, and demonstrated for the first time that ozone control measures are effective at rural sites, while ozone concentrations are still increasing in the cities.
