  • Description: The coordinated control of PM[sub.2.5] and O[sub.3] pollution has become a critical factor restricting the improvement of air quality in China. In this work, precursors and related influencing factors were utilized to establish PM[sub.2.5] and O[sub.3] estimation models in the North China Plain (NCP), the Yangzi River Delta (YRD), and the Pearl River Delta (PRD) using a multi-task-learning (MTL) model. The prediction accuracy of these three MTL models was high, with R[sup.2] values ranging from 0.69 to 0.83. Subsequently, these MTL models were used to quantitatively reveal the relative importance of each factor to PM[sub.2.5] and O[sub.3] collaborative pollution simultaneously. Precursors and meteorological factors were the two most critical influencing factors for PM[sub.2.5] and O[sub.3] pollution in three regions, with their relative importance values larger than 29.99% and 15.89%, respectively. Furthermore, these models were used to reveal the response of PM[sub.2.5] and O[sub.3] to each precursor in each region. In the NCP and the YRD, the two most important precursors of PM[sub.2.5] pollution are SO[sub.2] and HCHO, while the two most critical factors for O[sub.3] pollution are HCHO and NO[sub.2]. Therefore, SO[sub.2] and VOC emissions reduction is the most important measure for PM[sub.2.5] pollution, while VOC and NO[sub.2] emission reduction is the most critical measure for O[sub.3] pollution in these two regions. In terms of the PRD, SO[sub.2] and NO[sub.2] are the most important precursors of PM[sub.2.5] pollution, while the most important precursors for O[sub.3] pollution are HCHO and SO[sub.X], respectively. Thus, NO[sub.2], SO[sub.2], and VOC emission reduction is the most critical measure for PM[sub.2.5] pollution, while VOC and NO[sub.2] emission reduction is the most critical measure for O[sub.3] pollution in the PRD. Overall, this study provides clues and references for the control of PM[sub.2.5] and O[sub.3] collaborative pollution in the NCP, the YRD, and the PRD.
