abstract：:In China, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ground-level ozone (O3) are anticipated to continuously affect large populations in the coming decades. Simulations of the levels of these pollutants largely depend on emissions inputs, which are highly uncertain both in magnitude and spatial distribution. Our goal was to ...
