Regional joint PM2.5-O3 control policy benefits further air quality improvement and human health protection in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas

Junyi Wang et al.

Summary: The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas (referred to as 2 + 26 cities) are highly polluted with fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and surface ozone (O3). This study analyzed PM2.5 and O3 pollution in these cities and assessed the health burden and economic loss before and after implementing a joint PM2.5-O3 control policy. PM2.5 concentration decreased by 19% from 2017 to 2019, while O3 levels remained stable. PM2.5 pollution was more severe in the south-central area, and O3 pollution was more severe in the central region. Implementation of the joint policy could significantly reduce premature deaths and economic loss.

Comprehensive impact assessment of carbon neutral pathways and air pollution control policies in Shaanxi Province of China

Zewei Lin et al.

Summary: This study uses an integrated assessment model to evaluate the impacts of different carbon neutral pathways and air pollution control policies in Shaanxi province. The findings suggest that low-carbon policies have a greater impact on improving air quality compared to end-of-pipe control. Carbon neutral pathways can lead to environmental health benefits and economic gains. Before 2030, low-carbon policies can bring positive benefits of 0.27% of GDP, but by 2060, there will be a loss in total social-economic benefits.

Nan Zhao et al.

Summary: The Chinese government made significant efforts to reduce air pollutants between 2015 and 2018, including monitoring air quality, adjusting energy structures, and reducing pollutant emissions from various sectors. Investments were made in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region and surrounding areas, resulting in a decrease in PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and NO2 concentrations. These improvements in air quality led to a reduction in premature deaths, work time loss, and economic losses.

Uncovering the key mechanisms of how deep decarbonization benefits air pollution alleviation in China

Xiaorui Liu et al.

Summary: Addressing climate change and air pollution together can be an efficient and cost-effective approach. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is leading the way in exploring a green and low-carbon transition path. The study quantified the potential contribution of climate mitigation to air pollutant reduction in the area, with the transport sector identified as having the most significant carbon reduction potential. Energy intensity and structural transformations were found to be the main contributors to reducing carbon emissions. The study showed that climate policies can effectively reduce air pollutant emissions, although the effect varies for different pollutants and sectors. Sectors with priority for synergic governance were identified based on the assessment of the synergy index and cost of abatement.

Coordinated effects of energy transition on air pollution mitigation and CO2 emission control in China

Renxiao Yuan et al.

Summary: China has made progress in energy transition and improving air quality, but still faces challenges. The study found that energy transition has different effects on emission reduction of different pollutants, depending on their current end-of-pipe control levels. Strict implementation of end-of-pipe control measures and speeding up the adoption of renewable energy can help reduce both PM2.5 and O-3 concentrations.

Air pollution prevention and control action plan substantially reduced PM2.5 concentration in China

Yunjiang Yu et al.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of China's Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan (APPCAP) on air quality, taking into account the carbon emission trading scheme. The study finds that the plan has significant negative effects on PM2.5 concentration and SO2 emissions in the pilot areas, and this effect remains significant in the areas with the carbon emission trading scheme. Additionally, the study shows consistent and significantly negative effects of the plan on air pollution in key urban agglomerations under different conditions.

Coordinated control of PM2.5 and O3 is urgently needed in China after implementation of the Air pollution prevention and control action plan

Hui Zhao et al.

Summary: China formulated the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan (APPCAP) in 2013 to improve air quality. After its implementation, there was a significant decrease in PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and CO concentrations, while NO2 remained unchanged and O-3 concentration increased. Despite the decrease in PM2.5, over 65% of the population was still exposed to levels higher than the standard, indicating the need for continued efforts in air pollution control.

Incorporating health co-benefits into technology pathways to achieve China's 2060 carbon neutrality goal: a modelling study

Shihui Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that a sole dependence on improving air pollution control measures is not enough for all Chinese provinces to meet the WHO PM2.5 standards by 2060. A combination of strong climate and air pollution control policies is needed for substantial improvement of air quality across China. With the realization of carbon neutrality goals, China has the potential to increase life expectancy by 0.88-2.80 years per person in 2060, and the health benefits could outweigh mitigation costs, indicating the cost-effectiveness of China's carbon neutrality goal.
