Article Synopsis
- - The study used 21 air quality monitoring stations, including advanced single particle aerosol mass spectrometers, to assess the impact of fireworks on air quality during the 2020 Spring Festival in Guangzhou from January 21 to 28.
- - Findings revealed that fireworks significantly worsened air quality in both the discharge and prohibited areas, particularly on New Year's Eve, with sharp increases in particulate matter (PM) and sulfur oxides (SO) detected.
- - The research established a method to trace fireworks emissions with a focus on aluminum and identified main particle types emitted, such as levoglucan and potassium-rich particles, which were mixed with nitrates but not ideal for ammonium formation.
