The impact of chlorine chemistry combined with heterogeneous N₂O₅ reactions on air quality in China by X. Yang, X. Yang, Q. Wang, Q. Wang, N. Ma, N. Ma, W. Hu, Y. Gao, Z. Huang, Z. Huang, J. Zheng, J. Zheng, B. Yuan, B. Yuan, N. Yang, N. Yang, J. Tao, J. Tao, J. Hong, J. Hong, Y. Cheng, H. Su

“…The model simulations are evaluated against multiple observational datasets across China and show significant improvement in reproducing observations of particulate chloride, <span class="inline-formula">N₂O₅</span>, and <span class="inline-formula">ClNO₂</span> when including anthropogenic chlorine emissions and updates to the parameterization of the heterogeneous <span class="inline-formula">N₂O₅</span> <span class="inline-formula">+</span> <span class="inline-formula">Cl</span> chemistry relative to the default model. The simulations show that total tropospheric chlorine chemistry could increase annual mean maximum daily 8 <span class="inline-formula">h</span> average (MDA8) <span class="inline-formula">O₃</span> by up to 4.5 <span class="inline-formula">ppbv</span> but decrease <span class="inline-formula">PM_2.5</span> by up to 7.9 <span class="inline-formula">µg m⁻³</span> in China, 83 % and 90 % of which could be attributed to the effect of the heterogeneous <span class="inline-formula">N₂O₅</span> <span class="inline-formula">+</span> <span class="inline-formula">Cl</span> chemistry. …”

“…The total OH, <span class="inline-formula">NO₃</span> and <span class="inline-formula">O₃</span> reactivities displayed similar diurnal variations with the lowest values during the afternoon but the highest values during rush hours, and the diurnal profile of <span class="inline-formula">NO_<i>x</i></span> appears to be the major driver for the diurnal profiles of the reactivities of the three oxidants. A box model (a model to Simulate the concentrations of Organic vapors, Sulfuric Acid and Aerosols; SOSAA) derived from a column chemical transport model was used to simulate OH and <span class="inline-formula">NO₃</span> concentrations during the observation period. …”
