Summary: |
This discussion aims to improve understanding of the underlying processes responsible, which is essential for the development of high quality numerical models of urban air pollutants, which are required for the testing of mitigation strategies prior to implementation. The following topics are covered within this volume: current status and trends in air quality in megacities; physico-chemical processes in the urban atmosphere (neighbourhood scale); physico-chemical processes in the urban atmosphere (city scale); effects, mitigation and policy. |

Introductory lecture: air quality in megacities / Asia Pacific road transportation emissions, 1900-2050 / Long-term trends in the contribution of PM[subscript 2.5] sources to organic carbon (OC) in the Los Angeles basin and the effect of PM emission regulations / General discussion: trends in emissions concentrations -- Tracer-based characterization of source variations of PM[subscript 2.5] and organic carbon in Shanghai influenced by the COVID-19 lockdown / Diurnal and weekly patterns of primary pollutants in Beijing under COVID-19 restrictions / Variability of physical meteorology in urban areas at different scales: implications for air quality / Using a coupled LES aerosol-radiation model to investigate the importance of aerosol-boundary layer feedback in a Beijing haze episode / General discussion: Urban air quality; meteorological influences and air quality trends -- Multiphase chemistry experiment in Fogs and Aerosols in the North China Plain (McFAN): integrated analysis and intensive winter campaign 2018 / Insights into air pollution chemistry and sulphate formation from nitrous acid (HONO) measurements during haze events in Beijing / Vertical profile of particle hygroscopicity and CCN effectiveness during winter in Beijing: insight into the hygroscopicity transition threshold of black carbon / PM[subscript 2.5] pollution in China's Guanzhong Basin and the USA's San Joaquin Valley mega-regions / An evaluation of source apportionment of fine OC and PM[subscript 2.5] by multiple methods: APHH-Beijing campaigns as a case study / General discussion: Multiphase atmospheric chemistry, and source apportionment -- Is reducing new particle formation a plausible solution to mitigate particulate air pollution in Beijing and other Chinese megacities? / Formation and growth of sub-3 nm particles in megacities: impact of background aerosols / The persistence of a proxy for cooking emissions in megacities: a kinetic study of the ozonolysis of self-assembled films by simultaneous small and wide angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) and Raman microscopy / Using highly time-resolved online mass spectrometry to examine biogenic and anthropogenic contributions to organic aerosol in Beijing / |
