PM2.5 pollution in Chinese cities is a major health concern. By studying air movement patterns, researchers found that pollution levels in Beijing and Shanghai are influenced by the direction of air flow. In Beijing, pollution is higher when air comes from the south and east, while in Shanghai, it's worse with northerly winds. Regional sources contribute significantly to pollution levels, with Beijing and Shanghai showing different patterns compared to Guangzhou and Chengdu. Speed of air movement also plays a role in pollution levels in the latter cities. These findings help understand how pollution spreads in urban areas and can aid in developing strategies to reduce PM2.5 levels.
