The smaller ammonium PM2.5 can also travel further distances (100–1000 km) when compared to unreacted ammonia (less than 10–100 km) in the atmosphere. [4] Some countries like China have focused on reducing SO 2 and NO X emissions, however increased NH 3 pollution still results in PM2.5 formation and reduces air quality. [ 28 ]
