Abstract. This study investigates the influence of the Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations on local air quality in Beijing from 2013 through 2019. CNY celebrations include burning of fireworks and firecrackers, which consequently has a significant short-term impact on local air quality. In this study, we bring together comprehensive observations at the newly constructed Aerosol and Haze This study investigates the influence of the Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations on local air qual-ity in Beijing from 2013 through 2019.

The Ambient Air Quality Standards issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment set a threshold of 75 μg/m³ for PM 2.5 levels. BEIJING - Air pollution reached "dangerous levels" in 106 Chinese cities at the height of the celebrations welcoming the Lunar New Year due to use of firecrackers and fireworks, a Xinhua tally has This study investigates the influence of the Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations on local air quality in Beijing from 2013 through 2019.

Comprehensive measurements are vital to obtain big enough datasets for better understanding the complex atmosphere and further improving the air quality. To investigate the 4-year variation of air quality and the influences of special events (Beijing Winter Olympics, COVID lockdown and Chinese New Year) on it during the wintertime in polluted urban air, we conducted comprehensive The city's air quality usually improves over Chinese New Year, as factories close down and people stay at home and out of their cars.

Unfortunately, most of them are written in Mandarin which was of no help to us as non-Mandarin speakers. The use of fireworks for public and private displays can cause brief, but extraordinarily high levels of pollution. This is found in many countries, where fireworks are associated with particular celebrations: Diwali in India (Kumar et al., 2016), Guy Fawkes, or bonfire night, in England (Pope et al., 2016), Independence Day in the United States (Seidel and Birnbaum, 2015) and New Year in many
