They influence the oxidizing capacity and the ozone-forming potential of the atmosphere. In the summer of 2008, 2 months of emission restrictions were enforced in Beijing to improve air quality during the Olympic Games. Observational evidence reported in related studies that these control measures were efficient in reducing the concentrations of primary anthropogenic pollutants (CO, NOx and non-methane hydrocarbons, i.e., NMHCs) by 30–40%. In this study, the influence of the emission restrictions on ambient levels of OVOCs was explored using a neural network analysis with consideration of meteorological conditions. Statistically significant reductions in formaldehyde (HCHO), acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and methanol were found to be 12.9, 15.8, 17.1 and 19.6%, respectively, when the restrictions were in place. The effect of emission controls on acetone was not detected in neural network simulations, probably due to pollution transport from surrounding areas outside Beijing. Although the ambient levels of most NMHCs were reduced by ~35% during the full control period, the emission ratios of reactive alkenes and aromatics closely related to automobile sources did not present much difference (< 30%). A zero-dimensional box model based on the Master Chemical Mechanism version 3.2 (MCM3.2) was applied to evaluate how OVOC production responds to the reduced precursors during the emissions control period. On average, secondary HCHO was produced from the oxidation of anthropogenic alkenes (54%), isoprene (30%) and aromatics (15%). The importance of biogenic sources for the total HCHO formation was almost on par with that of anthropogenic alkenes during the daytime. Anthropogenic alkenes and alkanes dominated the photochemical production of other OVOCs such as acetaldehyde, acetone and MEK. The relative changes of modeled HCHO, CH3CHO, methyl vinyl ketone and methacrolein (MVK + MACR) before and during the pollution controlled period were comparable to the estimated reductions in the neural network, reflecting that current mechanisms can largely explain secondary production of those species under urban conditions. However, it is worth noting that the box model overestimated the measured concentrations of aldehydes by a factor of 1.4–1.7 without consideration of loss of aldehydes on aerosols, and simulated MEK was in good agreement with the measurements when primary sources were taken into consideration. These results suggest that the understanding of the OVOCs budget in the box model remains incomplete, and that there is still considerable uncertainty in particular missing sinks (unknown chemical and physical processes) for aldehydes and absence of direct emissions for ketones. 000276243 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-243$$a243 - Tropospheric trace substances and their transformation processes (POF3-243)$$cPOF3-243$$fPOF III$$x0 000276243 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aYuan, B.$$b1 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)6775$$aLi, Xin$$b2$$ufzj 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aShao, M.$$b3$$eCorresponding author 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aLu, S.$$b4 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aLi, Y.$$b5 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aChang, C.-C.$$b6 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aWang, Z.$$b7 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHu, W.$$b8 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHuang, X.$$b9 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHe, L.$$b10 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aZeng, L.$$b11 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHu, M.$$b12 000276243 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aZhu, T.$$b13 000276243 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2069847-1$$a10.5194/acp-15-3045-2015$$gVol. 15, no. 6, p. 3045 - 3062$$n6$$p3045 - 3062$$tAtmospheric chemistry and physics$$v15$$x1680-7324$$y2015 000276243 8564_ $$uwww.atmos-chem-phys.net/15/3045/2015/ 000276243 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/276243/files/acp-15-3045-2015.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000276243 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/276243/files/acp-15-3045-2015.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000276243 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/276243/files/acp-15-3045-2015.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000276243 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/276243/files/acp-15-3045-2015.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000276243 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/276243/files/acp-15-3045-2015.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000276243 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/276243/files/acp-15-3045-2015.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000276243 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:276243$$pdnbdelivery$$pVDB$$pVDB:Earth_Environment$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000276243 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY3$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 3.0 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9905$$2StatID$$aIF >= 5$$bATMOS CHEM PHYS : 2014 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bATMOS CHEM PHYS : 2014 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000276243 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000276243 9141_ $$y2015 000276243 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)165976$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b0$$kFZJ 000276243 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)6775$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b2$$kFZJ 000276243 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-243$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-240$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-200$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bErde und Umwelt$$lAtmosphäre und Klima$$vTropospheric trace substances and their transformation processes$$x0 000276243 920__ $$lyes 000276243 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-8-20101013$$kIEK-8$$lTroposphäre$$x0 000276243 9801_ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000276243 9801_ $$aFullTexts 000276243 980__ $$ajournal 000276243 980__ $$aVDB 000276243 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000276243 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IEK-8-20101013 000276243 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ICE-3-20101013
