Ozone is one of the main atmospheric pollutants over surface layer, and its increasing surface ozone concentration and its impact on main crops have become the focus of the public. In order to explore ozone deposition law and environmental factors influencing ozone deposition process, this study used the micrometeorological methods and carried out the experiment under natural conditions. The results showed that during the observational period (the vigorously growing season of wheat), the mean value of ozone flux was -0.

Employing floating static chamber-chromatography method, the N2O diurnal fluxes at the water-air interface of four rivers (Tuanjie River, Jinchuan River, Inner and Outer Qinhuai River) and Jinniu Lake were monitored in Nanjing during summer. The results show that four rivers act as the sources of N2O emission, but Jinniu Lake is characterized by the absorption of N2O. The highest N2O flux from Inner Qinhuai presented at 20:00 because of the changing of hydrodynamic conditions.

A variety of research has linked high temperature to outdoor thermal comfort in summer, but it remains unclear how outdoor meteorological environments influence people's thermal sensation in subtropical monsoon climate areas, especially in China. In order to explain the process, and to better understand the related influential factors, we conducted an extensive survey of thermally comfortable conditions in open outdoor spaces. The goal of this study was to gain an insight into the subjects' perspectives on weather variables and comfort levels, and determine the factors responsible for the varying human thermal comfort response in summer.
