Reflections on the threshold for PM2.5 explosive growth in the cumulative stage of winter heavy aerosol pollution episodes (HPEs) in Beijing

Particulate matter smaller than 2.5 μm in diameters (PM2.5) often experiences explosive growth (mass concentration at least doubled in several to 10 h) in winter aerosol pollution episodes (HPEs) in Beijing. Whether a threshold value exists for such PM2.5 explosive growth is uncertain. Here, we used...
