Development and application of observable response indicators for design of an effective ozone and fine particle pollution control strategy in China.

ABSTRACT: Designing effective control policies requires efficient quantification of the nonlinear response of air pollution to emissions. However, neither the current observable indicators nor the current indicators based on response-surface modeling (RSM) can fulfill this requirement. Therefore, this study developed new observable RSM-based indicators and applied them to ambient fine particle (PM_2.5) and ozone (O₃) pollution control in China. The performance of these observable indicators in predicting O₃ and PM_2.5 chemistry was compared with that of the current RSM-based indicators. H₂O₂×HCHO/NO₂ and total ammonia ratio, which exhibited the best performance among indicators, were proposed as new observable O₃-
