TL;DR: The MIX inventory as discussed by the authors is developed for the years 2008 and 2010 to support the Model Inter-Comparison Study for Asia (MICS-Asia) and the Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution (TF HTAP) by a mosaic of up-to-date regional emission inventories.

TL;DR: In this paper, the missing source of sulfate and particulate matter can be explained by reactive nitrogen chemistry in aerosol water, where the alkaline aerosol components trap SO 2, which is oxidized by NO 2 to form sulfate, whereby high reaction rates are sustained by the high neutralizing capacity of the atmosphere.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model-assisted analysis of the hourly observation data of PM2.5 and its major chemical compositions was performed to understand extreme haze episodes repeatedly shrouded Beijing during the winter of 2012-2013, causing major environmental and health problems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that black carbon aerosols play a key role in modifying the PBL meteorology and hence enhancing the haze pollution in megacities in China.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used MODIS AOD data as a surrogate of surface solar radiation (SSR) measurements in East Asia to estimate the annual SO2 emission in China after 2000 using a technology-based methodology specifically for China.
