abstract = {Unexpected haze in North China Plain during the COVID-19
lockdown has been regarded as a natural window to explore
the meteorological impact on formatting PM2.5 pollution but
with limitations in quantifying weather elements’
contributions. In this study, daily data of six air
pollutants (including PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, O3, and CO) and
six meteorological factors (including temperature, pressure,
relative humidity (RH), wind speed (WS), wind direction
(WD), and precipitation) from 2015 to 2020 across 16 capital
cities in Shandong province, China, was used to drive the
Machine Learning and the SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP)
models. By applying these models, contributions from
anthropogenic drivers to pollutant reductions and
contributions from meteorological factors to the haze event
were investigated. Results show that the COVID-19 lockdown
measures reduced concentrations of NO2, PM2.5, PM10, CO and
SO2 by −52.1 $\%,$ −40.0 $\%,$ −45.5 $\%,$ −29.4
$\%$ and −38.7 $\%$ respectively. On average, an 18.9 $\%$
increase in O3 was observed. PM2.5 pollution was mainly
driven by temperature with a SHAP value of 19.7 μg/m3,
followed by RH (5.8 μg/m3), precipitation (0.9 μg/m3), WD
(0.3 μg/m3), pressure (0.1 μg/m3) and WS (0.1 μg/m3)
during the haze period. Relative to the post-haze period,
high-pressure systems coupled with lower temperatures and
weakened surface winds hindered the dispersion of PM2.5
whilst higher RH was in favour of PM2.5 production during
the haze period. This study underscores the intricate
interplay between emissions, meteorological conditions, and
regulatory measures in air pollution, offering critical
insights into future air quality management strategies by
air pollution prediction.},
