Nitrous acid (HONO) is a major precursor of tropospheric hydroxyl radical (OH) that accelerates the formation secondary pollutants. The HONO sources, however, are not well understood, especially in polluted areas. Based on comprehensive winter field campaign conducted at rural site North China Plain, box model (MCM v3.3.1) was used to simulate daytime budget and nitrate formation. We found photolysis acted as dominant source for primary OH with contribution more than 92%. observed could be...

Summertime HONO concentrations were synchronously measured at two (agricultural and nonagricultural) sites in the North China Plain (NCP). Daytime (1.4 ± 0.6 ppbv) HONO/NO2 ((12 8)%) over agricultural field after fertilization found to be remarkably higher than those before fertilization, implying strong emission from fertilized fields. Synchronous enhancements of O3 both suggested that emitted accelerated local regional pollution. budget analysis further revealed its was significantly...

Abstract. In the summer of 2018, a comprehensive field campaign, with measurements on HONO and related parameters, was conducted at foot (150 m a.s.l.) summit Mt. Tai (1534 in central North China Plain (NCP). With implementation 0-D box model, budget six additional sources its role radical chemistry station were explored. We found that model default source, NO + OH, could only reproduce 13 % observed HONO, leading to strong unknown source strength up 3 ppbv h−1. Among sources, NO2 uptake...

Abstract Nitrous acid (HONO) is the major precursor of hydroxyl (OH) radicals to initiate tropospheric chemistry leading formation secondary pollutants. The sources atmospheric HONO, however, are not fully understood. Here we show two additional HONO that stem from oxidation nitrogen oxide (NO x = NO + 2 ). Nitric (HNO 3 ) formed photooxidation can be converted into with a yield ~53%, and dark by in presence H O produces 2%. diurnal variations levels field observations urban (Beijing) rural...

Gaseous nitrous acid (HONO) is a critical source of hydroxyl radicals (OH) in the troposphere. While both direct and secondary sources contribute to atmospheric HONO, emissions have traditionally been considered minor contributors. In this study, we developed δ 15 N 18 O isotopic fingerprints identify six HONO emission conducted 1-y case study on composition at rural urban sites. Interestingly, identified that livestock farming previously overlooked determined its ammonia (NH 3 ) ratio....

Particulate nitrate (NO3–) has currently become the major component of fine particles in North China Plain (NCP) during winter haze episodes. However, contributions formation pathways to ground NO3– NCP are not fully understood. Herein, were comprehensively investigated based on model simulations combined with two-month field measurements at a rural site NCP. The results indicated that nocturnal chemistry N2O5 hydrolysis aloft could contribute evidently pollution episodes high aerosol water...

Severe ozone (O3) pollution has been a major air quality issue and affects environmental sustainability in China. Conventional mitigation strategies focusing on reducing volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides (NOx) remain complex challenging. Here, through field flux measurements laboratory simulations, we observe substantial nitrous acid (HONO) emissions (FHONO) enhanced by fertilizer application at an agricultural site. The observed FHONO significantly improves model performance...

Abstract. Long-range transport of Asian dust and air pollutants are major environmental concerns Taiwan during the winter monsoon season when northeasterly winds prevail following passages cold fronts. Based on hourly measurements Environmental Protection Administration (TEPA) quality monitoring stations, Lidar in-situ IC, a significant long-range event 18 March 2005 has been identified. During this episode, drastically elevated concentrations PM10, CO SO2 along with strong were observed...

During haze periods in the North China Plain, extremely high NO concentrations have been observed, commonly exceeding 1 ppbv, preventing classical gas-phase H2O2 formation through HO2 recombination. Surprisingly, mixing ratios of about ppbv were observed repeatedly winter 2017. Combined field observations and chamber experiments reveal a photochemical in-particle H2O2, driven by transition metal ions (TMIs) humic-like substances (HULIS). In experiments, steady-state 116 ± 83 pptv upon...

The coexistence and coupling of capacitive memristive effects have been an important subject scientific interest. While the effect in memristors has extensively studied, reciprocal scenario capacitors remains unexplored. In this study, we introduce a supercapacitor-memristor (CAPistor) concept, which is constructed by leveraging non-linear ion transport within pores metal-organic framework zeolitic-imidazolate (ZIF-7).
