The typical photochemical pollution process in Guangzhou was analyzed from 2010 to 2016 by observing photochemical pollutants (ozone (O), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen dioxide (NO), and nitric oxide (NO)) and meteorological factors at the Guangzhou Panyu Atmospheric Composition Station (GPACS). The results showed that during this photochemical pollution process, the average O and PAN concentrations were relatively high:O 1 h concentration was 140.6×10 and PAN 1 h concentration was 4.7×10. The average concentration of NO was low, which had little effect on O titration and PAN elimination. The high NO concentration, strong radiation, and low wind speed all led to the formulation and accumulation of O and PAN. The linear relationship between O and PAN (=0.55) was affected by the fact that their precursor VOCs were not similar. Ethene, propane, isoprene, and toluene had a large influence in PAN formation, while isoprene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, propene, -xylene, and toluene had a large influence on O formation potential. When evaluating PA concentration, we found that its daily average concentration ranged from 0.11×10 to 0.16×10, which were higher than many places around the world, indicating that this photochemical process was relatively intensive.

The Expedited Modeling of Burn Events Results (EMBER) dataset consists of 36-km grid-spacing Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) photochemical modeling for the summer of 2023. For emissions, these simulations utilized representative monthly and day-of-week anthropogenic emissions from a recent year and preliminary day-specific 2023 fire emissions derived using BlueSky pipeline. The base model run simulated ozone concentrations across the contiguous US during Apr 11-Sep 29, 2023.

As a vital precursor of hydroxyl radicals (OH), atmospheric nitrous acid (HONO) plays a significant role in tropospheric chemistry and the production of secondary pollutants. However, knowledge of its sources remains insufficient. To comprehensively investigate the HONO chemistry in polluted cities and alleviate the O pollution, based on a comprehensive HONO-related field campaign in Zibo City, on the North China Plain, the parameterized formulas of additional HONO sources were validated in a box model (based on the default MCMv3.

Lactones play crucial roles in various fields, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and materials science, due to their unique structures and diverse biological activities. However, certain lactones are difficult to obtain in large quantities from natural sources, necessitating their synthesis to study their properties and potential. In this study, we investigated the photocatalytic conversion of D-fructose, a biomass-derived and naturally abundant sugar, using a TiO photocatalyst under light irradiation in ambient conditions.

Peroxyacetyl Nitrate (CHC(O)ONO, PAN), a typical secondary product of photochemical reactions, is well known to be a better photochemical indicator due to the only secondary photochemical source in the troposphere. Studies on PAN pollution are sparse in northwest China, resulting in a limited understanding of photochemical pollution in recent years. Herein, the measurement of PAN, O, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), NO, other related species, and meteorological parameters were conducted from May 1 to August 31, 2022, at an urban site in Lanzhou.

The rising concentration of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments poses increasing ecological risks, yet their impacts on biological communities remain largely unrevealed. This study investigated how aminopolystyrene microplastics (PS-NH) affect physiology and gene expression using the freshwater alga sp. as the test species.
