Atmospheric Reactive Nitrogen in China

  • 969 Accesses

Abstract

Reactive nitrogen (Nr) plays a significant role in atmospheric chemistry and is closely related to environmental and climate change. For example, ammonia, amines, and nitrogen oxides are involved in aerosol formation and have significant environmental implications, including regional haze pollution, acid deposition, and eutrophication. In addition, nitrate and ammonium are major compounds of atmospheric particulate matter, contributing approximately one-third of PM2.5. Although the concentration of amines in the atmosphere is probably two or three orders of magnitude lower than that of ammonia, amines can significantly assist the growth of both neutral and ionic clusters. The goal of this chapter is to exhibit the role of Nr in haze pollution and the importance of Nr mitigation measures. This chapter first introduces the mechanisms of haze formation related to atmospheric Nr and then discusses the contribution of Nr to PM2.5 pollution across China. Ultimately, the effects of Nr mitigation on PM2.5 pollution are evaluated, and possible measures that could be taken in the future are provided.
