The study looked at water quality regulations and found that local officials more heavily enforced regulations on polluting firms that were monitored and tracked by the central government, while not enforcing regulations on firms not tracked. A 10% reduction in pollution led to a 3% drop in productivity for China’s polluting industries.

The study is the first to document the health and economic benefits of policies to reduce the burden of air pollution in a highly polluted area of China, and provides a model to measure how policies to improve air quality can protect human health. The cost of premature death due to air pollution decreased by 3.83

Researchers from China and the US have found that long-term exposure to air pollution impedes cognitive performance in verbal and math tests. Air quality was measured using the air pollution index (API), which is calculated based on daily readings of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), and particulate matter smaller than 10 ?m

Long-term exposure to particulate air pollution has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, but the biological process has not been understood. Participant-specific pollutant concentrations averaged over the years 2000–10 ranged from 9.2–22.6 The study is published in The Lancet. and NO x between 1999 and 2012.

Ozone levels across much of North America and Europe dropped significantly between 2000 and 2014. In some parts of Asia, Africa and South America, the researchers identified data gaps which prevented them from characterizing ozone pollution exposure patterns. Source: University of Leicester.

Automobiles are major contributors to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The Chinese are increasingly taking to the roads, with driving distances rising from 262 billion pkm in 1990 to 1.351 trillion pkm in 2009, slightly more than a fivefold expansion. million EVs and a fleet of 3.5 trillion pkm in 2008.

Jacobson first showed in 2000 that black carbon was the second-leading cause of global warming after carbon dioxide in terms of radiative forcing and, in 2002, that its control would be the most effective method of slowing warming. ºC in 2050, as compared to 2000 temperatures. ºC in 2020, and 2.3
