Article Abstract

Ozone concentrations obtained from 35 automatic air monitoring stations in Beijing were analyzed to investigate their temporal and spatial distribution characteristics. A process with high ozone concentration in summer was analyzed. The results showed that ozone maintained relatively high concentration from May to August while in other months, the ozone concentration was at a low level. Overall, the average concentrations of ozone in different stations in a descending order were comparison and regional station, suburban environment evaluation station, urban environmental assessment station and traffic pollution monitoring station. Ozone diurnal variation showed a single peak distribution, the peak of which appeared at 15:00 or 16:00. Ozone concentration showed obvious weekend effect, which meant ozone concentration in daytime of weekend was higher than that in weekday. Ozone concentration was lower in urban Beijing, higher in surrounding counties and the highest in northeast area with more vegetation. A high ozone concentration process occurred in Beijing on June 3, 2013. Under the effect of southwest wind in the afternoon, the concentration peaks of ozone in Yufa, Fengtaihuayuan, Olympic center and Huairou station occurred in order from south to north. Concentration peak of ozone in Huairou station occurred at 20:00 in the night. It could be concluded that significant ozone transmission characteristic was reflected in this process.

CFD Evaluation of Far-UVCand Air Cleaning Technologies in Classrooms without Mechanical Ventilation.

Architectural Engineering Department, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA. Electronic address:

Far-UVC systems and air cleaners are effective strategies for controlling airborne pathogen transmission, particularly in densely occupied spaces with insufficient ventilation, such as school classrooms. This study evaluates the disinfection performance and ozone (O) formation of different far-UVC systems and air cleaners in a standard-sized classroom using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. Results show that ceiling-mounted far-UVC systems reduce airborne pathogen exposure by up to 30 % more than upper-room and wall-mounted configurations, based on intake fractions and room-average concentrations.

Unraveling ozone formation sensitivity to ambient VOCs and NOx at urban and mountain sites in a typical city of eastern China.

School of Environment, Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hangzhou, 310024, China; State Key Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100085, China.

Ozone (O) is a primary pollutant affecting air quality in China, whose formation rate was non-linearly based on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). A comprehensive understanding of the key drivers governing O formation and its sensitivity to precursor variations presents a persistent research challenge, stemming from the complex interplay of underlying photochemistry, meteorology, and topography. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted synchronous measurements of O and its precursors at both an urban (JPU) and a mountain (LM) site in a typical city in eastern China, enabling concurrent evaluation of O formation sensitivity and diagnostic analysis of its underlying mechanisms.

Controlling vehicular emissions is a critical priority, particularly in developing countries like Brazil, where the vehicular fleet has expanded significantly. Although Brazil's Program to Control Vehicular Emissions has reduced certain air pollutants by mandating technological advancements in new vehicles, it did not consider the substantial increase in vehicle numbers and density across the country. To date, no comprehensive national-scale evaluation has been conducted to assess the program's effectiveness in Brazil.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Air Resources, Albany, NY, USA.

New York State has enacted public policies that have enabled a multi-decadal trend in air quality improvement. However, the benefits of cleaner air are not felt equally across the populace, with individuals residing in disadvantaged communities bearing disproportionate air pollution burdens due to proximity of polluting sources, in addition to other environmental stressors. To address this disparity, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation contracted with Aclima, Inc.
