This Article contains a typographical error in the Introduction where,

“Also, to study regional and general prerequisites of atmosphere pollution, aerosol properties in many large cities of the country, including Shanghai46, Nanjing47, Beijing48, Guangzhou49, Lanzhou37, Tianjin50 and Xian51 have been studied.”

should read:

“Also, to study regional and general prerequisites of atmosphere pollution, aerosol properties in many large cities of the country, including Shanghai46, Nanjing47, Beijing48, Guangzhou49, Lanzhou37, Tianjin50 and Xi’an51 have been studied.”

Additionally, in Figures 5 and 6, the numbers on the axes contained commas rather than decimal points. The correct Figures 5 and 6 appear below as Figures 1 and 2.
