Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, entitled "Coordinated Control of PM2.5 and O3 and Its Impacts in China", explores the challenges and strategies related to managing air pollution, particularly focusing on reducing particulate matter (PM2.5) and ground-level ozone (O3) in China. This Special Issue emphasizes the importance of implementing integrated control measures due to the complex interactions between these pollutants and their combined effects on public health and the environment.
Key topics covered include the following:
- Pollution Sources and Emission Characteristics:
- The identification of major sources of PM2.5 and O3, such as industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, construction activities, and agricultural practices.
- The analysis of emission characteristics, considering seasonal and regional variations to understand the intensity and distribution of pollutant sources.
- Chemical Mechanisms and Interactions:
- The study of the chemical processes involved in the formation of PM2.5 and O3, focusing on the role of precursors like NOx and VOCs.
- The examination of the interactions between PM2.5 and O3, including how changes in the concentration of one pollutant can affect the other.
- Health Impacts:
- The assessment of the health risks associated with exposure to PM2.5 and O3, particularly respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
- Focus on the effects on vulnerable populations, including the elderly, children, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions.
- Environmental and Climate Impacts:
- The exploration of the effects of PM2.5 and O3 on ecosystems, including damage to vegetation, soil, and water bodies, and the formation of acid rain.
- The analysis of the relationship between air pollution and climate change, considering the impact on greenhouse gas effects and regional climate patterns.
- Monitoring and Assessment:
- The development and application of advanced monitoring technologies and methods for the real-time and long-term analysis of PM2.5 and O3 levels.
- The establishment of scientific assessment frameworks to evaluate the effectiveness of control measures.
