Dominant role of emission reduction in PM 2.5 air quality improvement in Beijing during 2013–2017: a model-based decomposition analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed bottom-up emission inventory over Beijing, the MEIC regional emission inventory and the WRF-CMAQ (WeatherResearch and Forecasting Model and Community Multiscale Air Quality) model was used to evaluate the effectiveness of clean air actions in Beijing and its surrounding regions.

Chemical composition, sources, and aging process of submicron aerosols in Beijing: Contrast between summer and winter

TL;DR: In this paper, the seasonal characteristics of submicron aerosol (PM1) in Beijing urban areas, a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol-mass-spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) was utilized at an urban site in summer (August to September 2011) and winter (November to December 2010), coupled with multiple state of the art online instruments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Classification of summertime synoptic patterns in Beijing and their associations with boundary layer structure affecting aerosol pollution

TL;DR: In this paper, the obliquely rotated principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to classify the summertime synoptic conditions over Beijing using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction reanalysis from 2011 to 2014, and investigated their relationships with PBL structure and aerosol pollution by combining numerical simulations, measurements of surface meteorological variables, fine-resolution soundings, the concentration of particles with diameters less than or equal to 2.5 µm, total cloud cover (CLD), and reanalysis data.

Roles of regional transport and heterogeneous reactions in the PM2.5 increase during winter haze episodes in Beijing

TL;DR: The results indicate that, during the five winter haze episodes, the regional transport from the south was the major reason for the initial-stage PM2.5 increase, while heterogeneous reactions dominated the later elevation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trends of PM2.5 and Chemical Composition in Beijing, 2000-2015

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the long-term trend (2000-2015) of PM25, based on intensive observation and comprehensive literature investigation of PM 25 and its chemical components.

Chemical characterization and source apportionment of PM 2.5 in Beijing: seasonal perspective

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used chemical mass balance, positive matrix factorization (PMF), trajectory clustering, and potential source contribution function (PSCF) for characterizing aerosol speciation, identifying likely sources, and apportioning contributions from each likely source.

TrajStat: GIS-based software that uses various trajectory statistical analysis methods to identify potential sources from long-term air pollution measurement data

TL;DR: Using these methods, the geographic information system (GIS) based software, TrajStat, was developed to view, query, and cluster the trajectories and compute the potential source contribution function (PSCF) and concentration weighted trajectory (CWT) analyses when measurement data are included.

Chemical characteristics of PM2.5 and PM10 in haze-fog episodes in Beijing.

TL;DR: The serious air pollution in HF episodes was strongly correlated with the meteorological conditions and the emissions of pollutants from anthropogenic sources.

A residence time probability analysis of sulfur concentrations at grand Canyon national park

TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical method is developed to determine the locations of major pollutant sources affecting a distant downwind receptor, provided that air trajectories can be estimated, and a source contribution function is formulated to indicate the relative contribution of different source regions to high concentrations at the receptor.
