ABSTRACT

22

In contrast to summer smog, the contribution of photochemistry to the formation of winter haze in

23

northern mid-to-high latitude is generally assumed to be minor due to reduced solar UV and water

24

vapor concentrations. Our comprehensive observations of atmospheric radicals and relevant

25

parameters during several haze events in winter 2016 Beijing, however, reveal surprisingly high

26

hydroxyl radical (OH) oxidation rates up to 15 ppbv/h which is comparable to the high values

27

reported in summer photochemical smog and is 2-3 times larger than those determined in previous

28

observations during winter in Birmingham1, Tokyo2, and New York3. The active photochemistry

29

facilitates the production of secondary pollutants. It is mainly initiated by the photolysis of nitrous

30

acid, ozonolysis of olefins and maintained by an extremely efficiently radical cycling process

31

driven by nitric oxide (NO). This boosted radical recycling generates fast photochemical ozone

32

production rates that are again comparable to those during summer photochemical smog. The

33

formation of ozone, however, is currently masked by its efficient chemical removal by nitrogen

34

oxides contributing to the high level of wintertime particles. The future emission regulations, such

35

as the reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions, therefore are facing the challenge of reducing haze

36

and avoiding an increase in ozone pollution at the same time. Efficient control strategies to mitigate

37

winter haze in Beijing may require measures similar as implemented to avoid photochemical smog

38

in summer.

INTRODUCTION

40

Winter haze formation has been experienced since the industrial revolution when more and more

41

people moved into urban areas especially in the cities at northern hemisphere mid-to-high latitude.

42

Taking Beijing, the capital city of China, for example, the number of winter haze days increased

43

dramatically in the last decade, e.g. the number of winter haze days in 2016 were about 20 days

44

more than experienced 20104. This change, to some extent, is thought to be related to warmer

45

temperature in winter due to global climate change, which leads to meteorological conditions that

46

favors stagnant conditions in this area5, 6. On a local scale, the winter haze is considered to be

47

primarily related to the intensified emissions from coal burning (energy and heating supply), traffic

48

and industry, that can accumulate under stagnant wind conditions (small southerly winds of about

49

1-2 m/s 7) and in a low boundary layer (height ca. 340 m 8). In addition, high moisture (RH up to



Page 4 of 23

50

70-80%7) is experienced caused by the semi-closed terrain9, the warm cover structure in the middle

51

troposphere9, and even the heavy particle pollution itself10.

52

Nevertheless, as the winter haze is actually dominated (>50%) by secondary aerosols11, the

53

chemical reactions that are responsible for the conversion of high concentrations of primary air

54

pollutants to secondary pollutants are then of central interest for understanding winter haze

55

pollution. Due to the generally reduced solar UV and water vapor as well as the enhanced aerosol

56

liquid water, the contribution of the photochemistry is thought to be minor in the haze and the

57

heterogeneous reactions have been proposed to be most important for the formation of haze12, 13.

58

One of the major ingredients for haze, SO2, is emitted by coal burning. The mechanism for its

59

conversion to sulfate in the particles is under discussion and the opinions are quite controversial.

60

It is now proposed that SO2 is most likely oxidized by heterogeneous reactions on aerosol surfaces

61

or in the bulk of the deliquesced aerosols under neutralized conditions14, 15 while the aerosols are

62

more likely to be acidic16. Nevertheless, the contribution of sulfate to PM2.5 is currently only 10 -

63

20% due to the efficient reduction of SO2 emissions11, 17, 18.

64

The particulate nitrate and organic matters are the dominant portions in fine particles during

65

haze episodes in the recent years. As the particulate nitrate and organic compounds in aerosol are

66

mainly the result of photochemical oxidation of NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the

67

contribution of photochemistry to the formation of haze needs to be explored. It was reported for

68

the first time that significant high levels of OH radicals were present in the winter urban

69

atmosphere in a winter campaign with measurements of radicals in 2000 in Birmingham1. High

70

OH concentrations in that study give strong indication that photochemical processes can be

71

important for the formation of winter air pollution in mid-to-high latitude in the northern

72

hemisphere where strong emissions take place. Direct HOx measurements were also performed in

73

other mega-cities such as in Tokyo in January and February 20042, and in New York in January

74

and February 20043. In these three winter studies in urban atmosphere, relatively fast OH turnover

75

rates were deduced based on the measurements of OH and modeled or measured total OH

76

reactivity giving values of 5-8 ppbv/h around noon time. These values are lower than values

77

determined in summertime at the same locations1-3. In a study performed at a rural site in Colorado

78

in February 2011, the OH turnover rate was determined to be about 2 ppbv/h around noon time

79

from observed OH concentrations and calculated OH reactivity19, much lower than in the

80

campaigns in the urban environments. In recent studies, active photochemistry was found to be the 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

81

key for the formation of winter ozone pollution20 and haze21 in Utah due to the efficient

82

photochemistry in a low and stagnant atmospheric boundary layer.

83

Because radical precursors like nitrous acid was found to be abundant in winter in Beijing22,

84

a critical point to understand the winter haze formation mechanism is the determination of the role

85

of the photochemistry. In the present work, measurements were done with a comprehensive suite

86

of instruments available for studying photochemistry. The role of photochemical reactions in the

87

formation of fine particles and ozone in winter haze Beijing is determined.

88

METHODS

89

Field measurement campaign. The field campaign BEST-ONE (Beijing winter finE particulate

90

STudy - Oxidation, Nucleation and light Extinctions) was carried out from January 1st to March

91

5th 2016 on the campus of the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at Huairou (Figure

92

S1, 40.42°N, 116.69°E), which is located in a rural environment in the north of Beijing in the

93

North China Plain. The north and west of the site is surrounded by mountains. Without major

94

industry nearby, the area was only occasionally affected by local emissions from coal burning in

95

a village 1 km to the east. A large suite of atmospheric trace gas and radical concentrations, and

96

meteorological parameters were measured 20 m above the ground on top of a building (Table 1).

97

The local meteorological conditions were on average characterized by low temperatures (-3  6

and low relative humidity, RH (36  18%). However, the RH increased to up to 80% during

100

Experimental. OH and HO2 radical concentrations were measured with a home-built instrument

101

utilizing pulsed laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) at 308 nm11. The instrument samples ambient air

102

by gas expansion into a low-pressure volume. At low pressure, OH is detected directly by LIF,

103

whereas HO2 is first chemically converted to OH by reaction with added NO. The measurements

104

of OH and HO2 are calibrated with a photochemical radical source which produces known radical

105

concentrations by photolysis of water vapour at 185 nm. Total OH reactivity (kOH), which is

106

equivalent to the inverse chemical OH lifetime, was measured by laser-photolysis laser induced

107

fluorescence (LP-LIF). For that purpose, OH radicals are produced in ambient air in a flow tube

108

by flash photolysis of ozone at 266 nm. The following OH decay due to reactions with atmospheric

109

reactants is monitored in real-time by LIF. The total OH reactivity is then obtained as a pseudo

110

first-order rate coefficient from the observed OH decay. In addition to the radical measurements, 4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


Page 6 of 23

111

a large suite of trace gases including O3, CO, NO, NO2, N2O5, HONO, HCHO, VOCs, etc were

112

measured locally near the inlets of the LIF instrument. Photolysis frequencies of O3 and NO2 were

113

determined from solar actinic flux spectra that were measured by spectroradiometry. Aerosol

114

chemical composition (< PM1.0) was measured using an Aerodyne High Resolution Time-of-Flight

115

Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS; short: AMS). The separation of primary and

116

secondary sources to the measured organic aerosol fraction from AMS was achieved by positive

117

matrix factorization. The ion balance of ammonium, nitrate and sulfate shows that sulfate and

118

nitrate explain the observed amount of ammonia. Further details of measurements of radicals, trace

119

gases and aerosols can be found in the Supporting information.

120

Calculations for the projection of NOx and VOC emission reduction strategies. The projection

121

of emission reduction strategies is achieved by calculating the production rates of particulate

122

nitrate and ozone in a chemical box model, in which VOC and NOx concentrations were varied.

123

The model is based on the Regional Atmospheric Chemical Mechanism version 2 (RACM-2)23

124

with modifications described in previous work24, 25. The model calculations were constrained to

125

chemical conditions as currently found in the haze event in this work using measurements of

126

HONO, NO2, CO, CH4, C2−C12 VOC and water vapor concentrations, as well as measured

127

photolysis frequencies, temperature and pressure. In order to realistically estimate the effect of

128

emission reductions, radical production was adjusted to reproduce formation rates as

129

experimentally found in this campaign.

130 131 132

The photochemical O3 formation rate, P(O3), is calculated from the NO2 production rate due to the reactions of peroxy radicals with NO. P(O3) = kHO2+NO[HO2][NO] + i kRO2i+NO[RO2i][NO]

Eq. 1

133

The rate constant kHO2+NO is taken from NASA JPL Publication 15-1026. For the reaction of RO2

134

with NO, rate constants (kRO2i+NO) and NO2 yields (i) are taken from RACM-2.

135 136

The potential for particulate nitrate formation, P(NO3-), is calculated from the partitioning between the gas and particle phase of HNO3 and the heterogeneous hydrolysis of N2O5.

HNO3 in the gas phase is mainly produced by the reaction of NO2 with OH. The rate

Eq. 2

140

HCHO + NO3, HO2 + NO, N2O5 + H2O that can form HNO3 can be neglected for the conditions

141

analyzed here27. The HNO3 uptake into the particle phase was implemented in the model in such

142

a way that the partitioning of HNO3 into the particle phase was 100% (p = 1). This is justified by

143

high partitioning ratio (> 0.96) of NO3- / (HNO3+NO3-) estimated from both the direct

144

measurements of the gaseous HNO3 and NO3- by a wet denuder system, GAC-IC (Table 1) and

145

the calculations from ISORRPIA-II. The NO3- in the particle phase must also be balanced by NH4+

146

ions, which requires that sufficiently high ammonia (NH3) was available. This is supported by the

147

high NH3 concentrations that were observed in the pollution episodes. In addition, high ammonium

148

concentrations in the particle phase were measured by the analysis of the chemical composition of

149

particles in the AMS. The ion balance between ammonium and nitrate and sulfate explains the

150

high ammonium concentrations, so that both, nitrate and sulfate, are full neutralized. For the

151

transfer of gaseous N2O5 into the particle phase an uptake coefficient (𝛾N2O5) of 0.003 was used,

152

derived from an iterative box model method28. The 𝐶N2O5 denotes the mean molecular speed of

153

N2O5 and Sa denotes the total surface area concentrations derived from the SMPS measurement

Modelling of regional ozone production. The GEOS-Chem chemical transport model (v11-02;

156

157

over North China. The model is driven by the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS)

158

GEOS-FP assimilated meteorological data at a horizontal resolution of 0.25° latitude by 0.3125°

159

longitude. The simulation is conducted with the nested-grid GEOS-Chem model that has the native

160

0.25°×0.3125° horizontal resolution over East Asia with 3-hourly boundary conditions archived

161

from a global simulation at 2°×2.5° resolution. The model includes a detailed NOx–Ox–

162

hydrocarbon–aerosol tropospheric chemical mechanism, and accounts for heterogeneous uptake

163

of HO2, NO2, NO3, and N2O5 by aerosol surfaces29. Chinese Anthropogenic emissions are from

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

167

Overview and Concept of Winter Photochemistry. Either the outflow of urban Beijing due to

168

southerly winds conditions or continental background air originating from Siberia due to strong

169

northerly winds were observed at the measurement site (Figure S2 - S5). In total, five haze 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


Page 8 of 23

170

pollution events were captured with the full suite of measurement parameters. For each case

171

observed, the accumulations of the secondary pollutants were quite similar. The continental air

172

masses from the north flushed the site before the start of a haze event. Both the concentrations of

173

the primary air pollutants and PM2.5 were very small at the beginning. Under stagnant

174

meteorological conditions with slow southerly winds from the Beijing area secondary pollutants

175

increased quickly due to chemical reactions of primary air pollutants from regional emissions.

176

Finally, the haze was flushed away with again strong northerly wind ending the haze event within

177

a few hours. According to the measurement of the aerosol chemical compositions, the dominant

178

components of the fine particles during the haze conditions were nitrate and organics (Figure 1A).

179

Moreover, the co-enhancement of PM2.5 and the photochemistry indicators - peroxy acetyl nitrate

180

(PAN) and the total oxidant (Ox = O3 + NO2 + NOz, NOz = NOy - NOx) were continuously

181

observed (Figure S2). Both measurements strongly indicate that the particle pollution was

182

associated with atmospheric oxidation processes driven by photochemical smog reactions. Since

183

all haze events showed a similar characteristic (Figure 1 and Figure S6 - S9), results of the episode

184

are discussed in the following text when the highest aerosol load of up to 350 µg/m3 (PM2.5) was

185

experienced.

186

Due to the efficient emission control of SO2, the majority of particle mass in Beijing’s haze

187

events consists of organic compounds and nitrate11, 15, 17, 30 also found in the present study (Figure

188

1A and Figure S6A - S9A). Oxidized volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides

189

partitioning in the particulate phase are typically the result of photochemical activity. In wintertime,

190

however, solar radiation is weak due to the low sun and additionally due to the strong attenuation

191

by aerosol extinction in the haze event. Therefore, light-driven chemistry is generally assumed to

192

play a minor role in wintertime haze and different oxidation mechanisms in the aerosol aqueous

193

phase have been suggested to be responsible for the sulfate and nitrate observed in particles13-15.

194

In contrast, direct measurements in this study show that there is a surprisingly efficient

195

photochemical conversion of NOx and VOCs to compounds found in aerosol (Figure 2) during

196

Beijing's winter haze despite reduced solar radiation.

197

Fine Particle and the Total Oxidants. Starting on February 29th, the mass concentration of fine

198

particles (PM1) increased from a few g/m3 to up to 250 g/m3 on March 4th with a large fraction

199

of ammonium nitrate (> 50%, Figure 1A). The build-up of the particle mass took place

200

simultaneously with a gradual increase of total oxidants to over 100 ppbv. The total oxidant is the 7 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 9 of 23


201

sum of ozone, NO2 and the oxidized nitrogen species in the gas phase (NOz) derived from total

202

reactive nitrogen (NOy) and NOx measurements (Figure 1B), which were eventually formed from

203

emissions of nitric oxide (NO) (Figure 2). The nitrogen compounds included inorganic species like

204

N2O5 and HNO3, as well as organic compounds like PAN and other oxidized nitrogen compounds

205

(Figure S10). In contrast, the concentration of ozone was relatively small (< 40 ppbv), as it was a

206

major oxidant consumed in the production of oxidized nitrogen species (Figure 2). Moreover, an

207

analysis of the simultaneous measurements of PM2.5 and the total oxidants from the regional

208

network by Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center showed that the buildup of winter

209

haze accompanied by the accumulation of oxidants were also a regional phenomenon (Figure S11).

210

Trace gas removal and photochemical ozone productions. The impact of light extinction in the

211

accumulating haze is seen as a strong decline in the solar radiation and concentration of hydroxyl

212

radicals (OH) by a factor of 10 (Figure 1C). OH is the major atmospheric oxidant that controls the

213

chemical removal of atmospheric pollutants (e.g. CO, NO2, VOCs) thereby producing secondary

214

pollutants. The decrease in the OH concentration seems plausible because tropospheric OH is

215

generally formed by photolysis reactions. Therefore, low OH concentrations apparently support

216

the assumption that photochemistry plays a minor role during haze events13-15. However, the OH

217

concentration is also reduced due to an increasing rate of OH destruction by reactive gases that

218

accumulate during the haze event. The corresponding loss rate coefficient for OH, (total OH

219

reactivity, kOH), was directly measured in the campaign. Values increased from 5 s-1 in relative

220

clean air to up to 80 s-1 under highly polluted conditions (Figure 1D). The photochemical activity

221

of OH can be quantified by the product of the measured OH concentration and OH reactivity

222

([OH]kOH) which is equivalent to the oxidation rate of pollutants by reaction with OH.

223

Surprisingly, this rate increased from approximately 5 ppbv/h to 15 ppbv/h during the formation

224

of the haze (Figure 1E). The measured 3-fold increase demonstrates that the photochemical

225

conversion of emitted compounds into secondary pollutants was very active in the winter haze

226

with oxidation rates similar to values observed in summer in the NCP24, 31.

227

The oxidation by OH was so efficient because OH is quickly recycled in the reaction of

228

hydroperoxy (HO2) radicals with abundant NO from anthropogenic emissions. HO2 is either

229

directly produced from the reaction of OH with CO, or is produced in the reaction of NO with

230

organic peroxy radicals (RO2) resulting from the reaction of VOCs with OH. In the haze event,



Page 10 of 23

231

OH recycling amplified the oxidation rate initiated by a weak primary OH production rate (0.6

232

ppbv/h) by a factor of 20 to 40. The amplification factor of the OH turnover rates is calculated as

233

the ratio of the secondary OH production rate due to the reaction of HO2 with NO relative to the

234

primary production rate of OH by ozonolysis of alkenes and photolysis of HONO and ozone. The

235

determined amplification factor (also known as chain length of the HOx cycle) is much longer than

236

found in previous winter campaigns when values varied between 4 to 7 in the urban areas1-3 and

237

were around 2 in a rural site19. The variation of the amplification factor is not proportional to the

238

changes in the VOCs to NOx ratio as seen in the different winter campaigns1-3, 19. The larger

239

amplification factor observed in this campaign compared to other winter studies indicates that the

240

photochemistry was exceptionally efficient in winter Beijing. These findings could not be

241

explained by chemical box models that use measured long-lived species (VOCs, and NOx, etc.) as

242

constraints25. In the global atmosphere, the most important primary source of OH is the reaction

243

of water vapor with excited state oxygen atoms from the UV-B photolysis of ozone32. In this winter

244

campaign, however, OH formation from ozone photolysis played a negligible role (

321

80 ppbv) along the Taihang Mountain south of Beijing and the Yanshan Mountain east of Beijing.

322

The mean photochemical ozone production rates during the haze event were highest in the cities

323

Beijing and Tianjian with values of up to 10 ppbv/h. In the southern part of Hebei, ozone

324

production was elevated (4 to 6 ppbv/h) compared to the north. The photochemistry in this model

325

is mainly driven by the production of radicals by the photolysis of HONO for wintertime

326

conditions. However, the mean photochemical ozone production rates at the measurement site

327

Huairou were a factor of two higher than modeled values likely due to missing radical sources25.

328

The underestimation of the ozone production rates by the model is also reflected in an

329

underestimation of the total oxidant concentration. The GEOS-Chem model indicates that the

330

measurement site is representative for a wide area in the North China Plain suggesting that current

331

chemical transport models do not well represent the fast-photochemical activity for wintertime

332

haze conditions.

333

As announced in the 13th Five-Year Plan, China's national air pollution control strategies

334

aim primarily at reducing emissions of NOx rather than of VOCs. This study demonstrates the

335

potential for an increase of ozone pollution in Beijing during wintertime in the future due to an

336

active photochemistry. The concurrent reduction of emissions of both, nitrogen oxides and organic

337

compounds, would not only improve air quality by reducing particle loads, but also avoid the risk

338

of ozone pollution (Figure 3) in wintertime. In addition, these measures would apply the entire

339

year and therefore reduce summertime ozone smog. As suggested by emission inventories41,42, the

340

most efficient target for regulations of winter air pollution control could be the vehicle emissions

341

which contribute the largest part of the nitrogen oxide and organic compound emissions in China.

342

The missing radical source is of urgent importance to be clarified to enabling the detailed policy

343

projection for the different geographic areas.

344

As a result of a comprehensive field campaign performed in winter in Beijing, we measured

345

unexpectedly fast wintertime ozone production which is comparably high as observed in

346

summertime photochemical smog. This fast production, however, does not lead to high ozone

347

concentrations, because it is chemically converted by nitrogen oxides and taken up by particles

348

enhancing severe wintertime haze events in Beijing. In addition, precursors of radical species

349

responsible for the ozone formation can be formed from heterogeneous chemistry on particle

350

surfaces, so that this reaction scheme is a self-energizing process. Therefore, wintertime haze in 12 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


Page 14 of 23

351

Beijing could be regarded as a type of photochemical smog. Control strategy would need to be

352

similar as those applied to avoid summertime ozone pollution.

376

contribution from CO, NOX and organics (D), OH removal rate (kOH[OH]) (E), ozone production

377

rate (P(O3)) from the reaction of HO2 with NO that is equivalent to the OH recycling rate (F). The

378

total ozone production will be approximately twice a high due to the additional production from

379

the reaction of NO with RO2 whose concentration is typically as high as that of HO2 for high NO

380

concentrations. Grey shaded areas indicate nighttime. 14 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Figure 2. Photochemical pathways mediating the transformation of emitted volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitric oxide (NO) to particulate matter (PM). OH radicals produced by the photolysis of nitrous acid (HONO) and ozonolysis of alkenes react with VOCs and initiate the formation of oxygenated VOCs that contribute to the formation of organic aerosol (OA). NO2 is formed from the oxidation of NO in the reaction of ozone with peroxy radicals (HO2, RO2). During the day, NO2 reacts with OH to nitric acid (HNO3), which is efficiently converted into particulate nitrate (NO3-) with the participation of ammonia (NH3). Ozone produced by NO2 photolysis during the day is consumed by nightly oxidation of NO2 to N2O5, which adds to nitrate formation in the particle phase. 381

391

corresponding experimentally determined values at the Huairou site. The experimentally

392

determined ozone production rate is assumed to be twice as large as calculated from measured

393

HO2 and NO concentrations to account for ozone production from organic peroxy radicals which

394

concentration can be assumed to be similar as that of HO2.
