| Abstract: | Much rain and strong winds caused by a cold front occurred in Beijing during the period of Sep. 27 to Oct. 4, 2004 and led to sharp drops in maximum and mean concentrations of HONO, HCHO, O3, and NO2, i.e., the maximum concentrations were reduced by 5.9, 21.3, 45.6, and 44.4 ppb, respectively, and the mean concentrations were decreased by 4.0, 5.5, 30.3, and 32.3 ppb, respectively. For daily HOx production rates HONO photolysis was the largest contributor and over 90% contributions were from photolysis of HONO and HCHO. Large number and area percentages of soot aggregate from PM10, and high correlations between concentrations of PM10 and chemical formation of HONO suggested that heterogeneous reactions of NO2 on surfaces of soot aggregate could be a key source of HONO in the heavy traffic areas of Beijing during the night and should be considered in air quality simulations for such areas. |
