TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive NH3 emission inventory was compiled for China on a 1 km × 1 km grid, which is suitable for input to atmospheric models and attempted to estimate NH3 emissions accurately by taking into consideration as many native experiment results as possible and parameterizing the emission factors (EFs) by the ambient temperature, soil acidity and other factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive NH3 emissions inventories were compiled for China for 1980-2012, and the two major contributors were livestock manure and synthetic fertilizer application, which contributed 80-90 % of the total emissions.

TL;DR: It is found that NH3 emission abatement can mitigate PM2.5 pollution and nitrogen deposition but would worsen acid rain in China, and a region-specific strategy for multipollutant controls that will benefit human and ecosystem health is proposed.

TL;DR: An energy policy and effective measures should be proposed to reduce particulate matter, especially PM2.5 pollution in Beijing to protect public health and the Beijing government also needs to cooperate with the other local governments to reduce high background level of particulate air pollution.

TL;DR: Most large and medium-sized cities in China, which accounted for more than 70% gross domestic product (GDP) of China in 2004, were covered, and the total economic cost caused by PM(10) pollution was estimated as approximately USD 29,178.7 million.
