Resumo

Atmospheric aerosol containing sulfates affects air quality on a regional scale and the climate on a global scale. For example, in the northern part of the North China Plain, an agglomeration with a population of about half a billion people is systematically exposed to catastrophically rapid pollution by dense haze. In this work, for the first time, evidence is interpreted in favor of the existence of critical atmospheric conditions that enable the extremely rapid formation of sulfates and nitrates in aerosol particles and, in combination with suitable meteorological conditions (temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric stagnation, etc.), lead to the occurrence of aerosol haze. It is shown that sustained and rapid sulfate accumulation in the degenerate-branched regime of a catalytic process involving transition metal ions is possible – at a given air humidity and in an atmosphere polluted with sulfur and nitrogen oxides – only if the ammonia concentration exceeds a certain threshold. At the same time, the rate of nitrate formation also increases, driven by the coupling of sulfate and nitrate formation processes. As a result, the absorption of moisture and ammonia from the air intensifies, ensuring a self-sustaining and rapid increase in the mass concentration of aerosol haze particles in the atmosphere.
