- W4323349743 abstract "<strong class=journal-contentHeaderColor>Abstract.</strong> Fine particulate matter (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) pollution is a severe problem in China. Research on the sources of Chinese PM<sub>2.5</sub> pollution has focused on the contributions of China’s domestic emissions. However, the impact of foreign anthropogenic emissions has typically been simplified or neglected, partly due to the perception that the short lifetime of PM<sub>2.5</sub> (a few days) does not allow long-distance transport. Here we explore the role of foreign anthropogenic emissions in Chinese PM<sub>2.5</sub> pollution in 2015 using the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model. We validate the model simulations with a comprehensive set of observations of PM<sub>2.5</sub> and its compositions, including sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, black carbon and primary organic aerosols, over China and its surrounding regions. We find that 8 % of PM<sub>2.5</sub> (5 µg m<sup>-3</sup>) and 19 % of nitrate (2.6 µg m<sup>-3</sup>) over eastern China in 2015 was contributed by foreign anthropogenic emissions. The contributions were the highest in January (6.9 µg m<sup>-3</sup> PM<sub>2.5</sub>, with 68 % nitrate) and the lowest in July (2.7 µg m<sup>-3</sup> PM<sub>2.5</sub>, with 11 % nitrate). Yet, only 30 % of such foreign contributions in January was through direct atmospheric transport. The majority (70 %) was instead through chemical interactions between foreign-transported aerosol precursors and China’s domestic emissions of pollutants. Specifically, the transport of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) from foreign countries enhanced the atmospheric oxidizing capacity and facilitated the oxidation of Chinese nitrogen oxides (NO<sub>x</sub>) to form nitric acid (HNO<sub>3</sub>) over the eastern China. The abundance of Chinese ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) further partitioned nearly all HNO<sub>3</sub> gas to particulate nitrate, leading to the considerable foreign contributions of nitrate and PM<sub>2.5</sub> to the eastern China. Over southwestern China, foreign anthropogenic emissions contributed 4.9 µg m<sup>-3</sup> PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations (18 % of total PM<sub>2.5</sub> mass) to Yunnan province, with 37 % as organics and 27 % as sulfate. Our findings suggest that foreign anthropogenic emissions play an important role in Chinese PM<sub>2.5</sub> pollution, because of direct aerosol transport and, more importantly, chemical interactions between transported pollutants and China’s local emissions. Thus, foreign emission reductions will be very beneficial for improving Chinese air quality." @default.
