Short summary

The occurrence of high O₃ levels with high PM_2.5 concentrations constitutes a dilemma for the design of O₃ control strategies in Xi’an and surrounding areas. If the O₃ mitigation approach decreases aerosols in the atmosphere directly or indirectly, the enhanced photolysis caused by aerosol reduction would compensate for the O₃ loss. If only the PM_2.5 control strategy is implemented, the O₃ pollution will decrease.
