Short summary

To better understand the characteristics of air pollutants and their interactions in the highly polluted region of eastern China, continuous measurements of particles and trace gases were made during cold seasons in 2016. We found 48 days with excess of PM_2.5, 14 with excess of PM₁₀, and 40 with excess of O₃. Results further reveal the formation of secondary aerosols under high-O₃ and temperature conditions and suggest a VOC-sensitive regime for photochemical production of O3 in urban Nanjing.
