Ammonia emission control in China would mitigate haze pollution and nitrogen deposition, but worsen acid rain
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Atmospheric ammonia plays important roles in fine particle pollution, acid rain, and nitrogen deposition. China, known as the world’s top emitter of gaseous ammonia, plans to control ammonia emissions to mitigate the haze pollution that has recently emerged. However, the complex side effects are still unclear. By integrating a chemical transport model, nationwide measurements, and a sophisticated ammonia emission model, we find that ammonia emission control would significantly aggravate acid rain pollution, thereby offsetting the benefit from reduced fine particle pollution and nitrogen deposition. Our work suggests that region-specific ammonia-control strategies provide a more rational and effective way to achieve the dual benefits of protecting human and ecosystem health 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.
