Fig. 2: Simulated organic aerosol (OA) precursors, primary OA (POA), and secondary OA (SOA) trends in China.
From: Widespread 2013-2020 decreases and reduction challenges of organic aerosol in China

a–c Anthropogenic emissions of OA precursors from different source sectors. Among volatile organic compounds (VOC), only aromatic compounds, glyoxal, methylglyoxal, isoprene, and terpenes are considered as OA precursors. d, e Simulated population-weighted annual mean concentrations of POA and SOA over the action-plan period. f, g Spatial difference of simulated POA and SOA mean concentrations between 2020 and 2013.
