Combining short-term event curbs with durable policies improves air quality sustainably, whereas temporary abatements alone allow PM 2.5 concentrations to rebound.
Observational analysis shows long-term emission reduction policies reduced PM 2.5 concentrations by 54% and atmospheric nitrogen deposition by 23% from 2012 to 2020.
Highlights the need for synergistic control across regions, as rising ammonia concentrations and transboundary pollutant flows complicate climate mitigation targets.
