<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...
Abstract. In 2013, China's government published the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan (APPCAP) with a specific target for Beijing, which aims to reduce annual mean PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing 60 µg m−3 2017. During 2013–2017, air quality was significantly improved following implementation of various emission control measures locally regionally, concentration decreasing from 89.5 2013 58 As meteorological conditions were more favourable reduction pollution 2017 than 2016,...
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...
In recent years, air pollution has caused more than 1 million deaths per year in China, making it a major focus of public health efforts. However, future climate change may exacerbate such human impacts by increasing the frequency and duration weather conditions that enhance exposure. Here, we use combination climate, quality, epidemiological models to assess changing under Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 (RCP4.5). We find that, assuming emissions population are held constant at...
Ambient exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is known harm public health in China. Satellite remote sensing measurements of aerosol optical depth (AOD) were statistically associated with in-situ observations after 2013 predict PM2.5 concentrations nationwide, while the lack surface monitoring data before have created difficulties historical estimates. Hindcast approaches using statistical models or chemical transport (CTMs) developed overcome this limitation, those still suffer from...
Tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) column densities detected from space are widely used to infer trends in terrestrial oxide (NOx) emissions. We study changes NO2 using the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) over China 2005 2015 and compare them with bottom-up inventory examine NOx emission their driving forces. From OMI measurements we detect peak of at a national level year 2011, average deceasing by 32% 2011 corresponding simultaneous decline 21% estimates. A significant variation regions...
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...
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....
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.,...
Mental disorders have been associated with various aspects of anthropogenic change to the environment, but relative effects different drivers are uncertain. Here we estimate associations between multiple environmental factors (air quality, residential greenness, mean temperature, and temperature variability) self-assessed mental health scores for over 20,000 Chinese residents. were surveyed in 2010 2014, allowing us link changes variables. Increases air pollution variability higher...
Abstract. Compared to the severe winter haze episodes in North China Plain (NCP), pollution during summertime has drawn little public attention. In this study, we present highly time-resolved chemical composition of submicron particles (PM1) measured Beijing and Xinxiang NCP region evaluate driving factors aerosol pollution. During campaign periods (30 June 27 July 2015, for 8 25 2017, Xinxiang), average PM1 concentrations were 35.0 64.2 µg m−3 Xinxiang. Pollution characterized with largely...
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....
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...
Abstract. The contribution of meteorology and emissions to long-term PM2.5 trends is critical for air quality management but has not yet been fully analyzed. Here, we used the combination a machine learning model, statistical method, chemical transport model quantify meteorological impacts on pollution during 2000–2018. Specifically, first developed two-stage prediction with synthetic minority oversampling technique improve satellite-based estimates over highly polluted days, thus allowing...
Abstract Climate change mitigation measures can yield substantial air quality improvements while emerging clean in developing countries also lead to CO 2 emission co-benefits by affecting the local energy system. Here, we evaluate effect of China’s stringent actions on its use and emissions from 2013-2020. We find that widespread phase-out upgrades outdated, polluting, inefficient combustion facilities during have promoted transformation country’s The far outweigh additional end-of-pipe...
