摘 要:近幾十年來,中國一直在遭受細顆粒(即空氣動力學直徑≤2.5μm; PM2.5)汙染和酸雨,對人類健康和生態系統產生了不利影響。最近,氨(即NH3)減排成為一種緩解霧霾汙染的戰略選擇。然而,大氣中的NH3也與氮沉降和酸雨密切相關,中國對NH3排放控制的綜合影響仍知之甚少。在這項研究中,通過將化學遷移模型與高解析度的NH3排放清單相結合,研究發現在中國NH3減排可以減輕PM2.5汙染和氮沉降,但會加劇酸雨。從數量上講,通過改善農業管理可將NH3排放量減少50%,並有針對性地將二氧化硫和氮氧化物的排放量減少15%,主要是通過抑制硝酸銨的形成,進而將PM2.5汙染減少11-17%。同時,據估計氮沉積減少了34%,中國超過臨界負荷的陸地面積從17%減少到9%。然而,這種NH3減排將顯著加劇降水酸化,使降雨pH值降低多達1.0個單位,而酸雨嚴重的地區相應大幅增加。經濟評估結果表明,酸雨加劇將部分抵消空氣品質改善和氮沉積減少帶來的總體經濟利益。在考慮了減排方案的成本之後,本研究提出了一個區域性的多汙染物控制策略,這將有利於人類和生態系統的健康。
