<strong class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> To tackle the problem of severe air pollution, China has implemented active clean policies in recent years. As a consequence, emissions major pollutants have decreased and quality substantially improved. Here, we quantified China's anthropogenic emission trends from 2010 to 2017 identified driving forces these by using combination bottom-up inventory index decomposition analysis (IDA) approaches. The relative change rates during...
From 2013 to 2017, with the implementation of toughest-ever clean air policy in China, significant declines fine particle (PM2.5) concentrations occurred nationwide. Here we estimate drivers improved PM2.5 quality and associated health benefits China from 2017 based on a measure-specific integrated evaluation approach, which combines bottom-up emission inventory, chemical transport model, epidemiological exposure-response functions. The estimated national population-weighted annual mean...
Air pollution has altered the Earth's radiation balance, disturbed ecosystem, and increased human morbidity mortality. Accordingly, a full-coverage high-resolution air pollutant data set with timely updates historical long-term records is essential to support both research environmental management. Here, for first time, we develop near real-time database known as Tracking Pollution in China (TAP, http://tapdata.org.cn/) that combines information from multiple sources, including ground...
The long satellite aerosol data record enables assessments of historical PM2.5 level in regions where routine monitoring began only recently. However, most previous models reported decreased prediction accuracy when predicting levels outside the model-training period. In this study, we proposed an ensemble machine learning approach that provided reliable hindcast capabilities. missing were first filled by multiple imputation. Then modeling domain, China, was divided into seven using a...
Clean air policies in China have substantially reduced particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution recent years, primarily by curbing end-of-pipe emissions. However, reaching the level of World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines may instead depend upon quality co-benefits ambitious climate action. Here, we assess pathways Chinese PM2.5 from 2015 to 2060 under a combination scenarios that link global and mitigation (i.e. 2°C- 1.5°C-pathways, National Determined Contributions (NDC) pledges carbon...
Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns led to a sharp drop in socio-economic activities China 2020, including reductions fossil fuel use, industry productions, and traffic volumes. short-term impacts of on China's air quality have been measured reported, however, the changes anthropogenic emissions not yet assessed quantitatively, which hinders our understanding causes during COVID-19. Here, for first time, we report pollutant from mainland by using bottom-up approach based near-real-time...
Aggressive emission control measures were taken by the Chinese government after promulgation of 'Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan' in 2013. Here we evaluated air quality health benefits associated with this stringent policy during 2013–2015 using surface PM2.5 concentrations estimated from a three-stage data fusion model cause-specific integrated exposure–response functions. The population-weighted annual mean decreased 21.5% over China 2013–2015, reducing 60.5 2013 to 47.5...
Based on the exposure data sets from Tracking Air Pollution in China (TAP, http://tapdata.org.cn/), we characterized spatiotemporal variations PM2.5 and O3 exposures quantified long- short-term related premature deaths during 2013–2020 with respect to two-stage clean air actions (2013–2017 2018–2020). We find a 48% decrease national 2013–2020, although rate has slowed after 2017. At same time, pollution worsened, average April–September increased by 17%. The improved quality led 308 thousand...
Since 2013, clean-air actions in China have reduced ambient concentrations of PM2.5. However, recent studies suggest that ground surface O3 increased over the same period. To understand shift air pollutants and to comprehensively evaluate their impacts on health, a spatiotemporal model for is required exposure assessment. This study presents data-fusion algorithm estimation combines situ observations, satellite remote sensing measurements, results from community multiscale quality model....
Satellite reveals 10-day mean and spatially explicit variations in China’s CO 2 emissions during after COVID-19 lockdown.
Abstract. In this work, we presented the characteristics of PM2. 5 chemical composition over China for period 2005–2012 by synthesis in situ measurement data collected from literatures and satellite-based estimates using aerosol optical depth (AOD) GEOS-Chem transport model. We revealed spatiotemporal variations during investigated driving forces behind examining changes precursor emissions a bottom-up emission inventory. Both observations identified that secondary inorganic aerosols (i.e.,...
Abstract. Future trends in air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for China are of great concern to the community. A set global scenarios regarding future socio-economic climate developments, combining shared pathways (SSPs) with forcing outcomes as described by Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), was created Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Chinese researchers have also developed various emission considering detailed local environmental policies....
To improve air quality, China has been implementing strict clean policies since 2013. These not only substantially improved quality but may also modify the spatial distribution of pollution, urban emission sources were under stricter control and some moved to rural regions with lower improvement targets lacking monitoring. Here, we predicted satellite-based monthly PM2.5 concentrations during 2000-2018 at a 1-km resolution complete spatial-temporal coverage analyze changes in pattern...
Abstract Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play multiple key regulatory roles in various cellular pathways. However, their functions HIV-1 latent infection remain largely unknown. Here we show that a lncRNA named NRON, which is highly expressed resting CD4 + T lymphocytes, could be involved latency by specifically inducing Tat protein degradation. Our results suggest NRON potently suppresses the viral transcription decreasing abundance of transactivator Tat. directly links to...
PM2.5 chemical components play significant roles in the climate, air quality, and public health, vary due to their different physicochemical properties. Obtaining accurate timely updated information on China's composition is basis for research environmental management. Here, we developed a full-coverage near-real-time data set at 10 km spatial resolution since 2000, combining Weather Research Forecasting-Community Multiscale Air Quality modeling system, ground observations, machine learning...
As the largest energy infrastructure in China, power sector consumed approximately half of China's coal over past decade and threatened air quality greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement targets. In this work, we assessed evolution coal-fired plants associated emissions China during 2010-2030 by using a unit-based emission projection model, which integrated historical plant information, turnover future fleet, end-of-pipe control technologies. We found that, driven stringent environmental...
