Abstract:In this study, satellite data derived from IASI, OMI and TROPOMI were adopted to infer the trend of ammonia and NOx emissions over 2008~2019 and the weather research forecast model (WRF) and the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) were used to assess the environmental consequence of ammonia emissions over the Sichuan Basin in the winter of 2019. Furthermore, sensitivity experiments were performed to evaluate impacts of ammonia or NOx emission reduction and ammonia and nitrogen oxides coordinated emission reduction scenarios on fine particles. The results show that nitrogen oxides emissions increased interannually from 2008 to 2012 and then decreased rapidly from 2013 to 2019, while ammonia columns were relatively stable over 2008~2013 and increased significantly from 2014 onwards. The hotspots of ammonia emissions in the Sichuan Basin were mainly concentrated in southern Sichuan city cluster and Chengdu and surrounding areas where anthropogenic activities were intense. The elevated ammonia emissions were also observed in the northwestern Sichuan city cluster dominated by agricultural sources. Ammonia ions accounted for a relatively high fraction of PM2.5 in southern Sichuan city cluster, up to 11.4%, while its contribution to PM2.5 in the cities of western Sichuan were relatively low. Sensitivity experiments indicate that the coordinated emission regulation in simultaneously reducing 50% NOx and ammonia could effectively diminish the concentrations of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate in PM2.5, therefore reduce fine particulate pollution and improve the regional ambient air quality across the Sichuan Basin.
