Abstract. China has long-term high PM2.5 levels, and its oxidative potential (OP) is worth studying as it may unravel the impacts of aerosol pollution on public health better than alone. OP refers to ability induce stress (OS). are influenced by meteorological factors, anthropogenic emission sources, atmospheric aging. Although their impact been studied, measurements only recently became available a limited scale, they require considerable technical expertise resources. For this, joint relationship between for wide range conditions profiles remain elusive. Towards we estimated over using Danish Eulerian Hemispheric Model (DEHM) system with input from Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model. It was found that higher values were primarily concentrated in urban agglomerations central eastern regions China, while lower western northeastern regions. Furthermore, probability density function revealed about 40 % areas had annual average concentrations exceeding Chinese concentration limit. OP, 36 have below 1 nmolmin-1m-3, 41 2 23 above which line previous measurement studies. Analysis simulations indicates contributed 46 65 variability, respectively, emissions 54 35 respectively. The sensitivity analysis also highlighted fact levels mostly determined secondary formation biomass burning.
