Abstract

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide PM 2.5 chemical components play significant roles in the climate, air quality, and public health, and the roles vary due to their different physicochemical properties. Obtaining accurate and timely updated information on China’s PM 2.5 chemical composition is the basis for research and environmental management. Here, we developed a full-coverage near-real-time PM 2.5 chemical composition data set at 10 km spatial resolution since 2000, combining the Weather Research and Forecasting–Community Multiscale Air Quality modeling system, ground observations, a machine learning algorithm, and multisource-fusion PM 2.5 data. PM 2.5 chemical components in our data set are in good agreement with the available observations (correlation coefficients range from 0.64 to 0.75 at a monthly scale from 2000 to 2020 and from 0.67 to 0.80 at a daily scale from 2013 to 2020; most normalized mean biases within ±20%). Our data set reveals the long-term trends in PM 2.5 chemical composition in China, especially the rapid decreases after 2013 for sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, organic matter, and black carbon, at the rate of −9.0, −7.2, −8.1, −8.4, and −9.2% per year, respectively. The day-to-day variability is also well captured, including evolutions in spatial distribution and shares of PM 2.5 components. As part of Tracking Air Pollution in China ( http://tapdata.org.cn ), this daily-updated data set provides large opportunities for health and climate research as well as policy-making in China.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
