Impact of the COVID-19 Event on the Characteristics of Atmospheric Single Particle in the Northern China by Zheng Li, Jingjing Meng, Ling Zhou, Ruiwen Zhou, Mengxuan Fu, Yachen Wang, Yanan Yi, Aijing Song, Qingchun Guo, Zhanfang Hou, Li Yan

“…The results showed that the concentrations of PM2.5, NOx, and CO were lower during DP (during the pandemic) than those during BP (before the pandemic), while O3 concentration increased by about 40.9% during DP due to a lower concentration of NO2 restraining the decomposition of O3 via the reaction of NO with O3. The number count of carbonaceous particles during DP decreased by 20.2% compared to that during BP due to the sharp reduction of factory production and vehicular transportation during DP. …”
