Paper Summary

The study monitored air pollutants in North China from 2008 to 2011 to see how they changed with economic development. Nitrogen oxide levels increased the most in 2010, likely due to more cars and industry. Ozone and fine particle pollution also rose, making air quality worse in the region.
