Abstract:
... Recently, air pollution especially fine particulate matters (PM₂.₅) and ozone (O₃) has become a severe issue in China. In this study, we first characterized the temporal trends of PM₂.₅ and O₃ for Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Wuhan respectively during 2018-2020. The annual mean PM₂.₅ has decreased by 7.82%-33.92%, while O₃ concentration showed insignificant variations by -6.77%-4.65% during 2 ...
