Master's student Liu Tao, a member of Professor Wang Boguang's esteemed team, has assumed the crucial role of the first author for this groundbreaking research endeavor. The esteemed Professor Wang Boguang, in collaboration with the esteemed Dr. Wang Yu, both stand as the corresponding authors of this illuminating study. Their meticulous investigation delves into the intricacies surrounding the photochemistry of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) in diverse atmospheric settings within the Pearl River Delta region.

This seminal research undertaking was meticulously conducted under the aegis of the Institute of Environment and Climate Research at Jinan University, in partnership with notable entities such as the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area Air Quality Science and Management Innovation and Introduction Base, the Guangdong Province Air Quality Science and Management International Science and Technology Cooperation Base, the National Key Laboratory for Air Quality Monitoring in Environmental Protection Regions, and the Guangdong Province Ecological Environment Monitoring Center.

The comprehensive study was bolstered by a multitude of supportive projects, including noteworthy contributions from the National Key Research and Development Program (2022YFC3700604), National Natural Science Foundation of China (421210044207719042005080), China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (2020M673059), and the Guangdong Province Science and Technology Plan Project (2021A05030044).
