Operational efficiencies reduce emission intensity of online shopping in China by one-third between 2000 and 2023
Chemically enhanced transboundary ozone pollution suppresses city-level emission control benefits
Severe ozone pollution persists during summertime in 60 cities in the North China Plain and Fenwei Plain, which requires a fundamental change in the current mitigation strategy. Herein, we investigate how city-level ozone pollution would be affected by self- and collaborative mitigation actions among and beyond the 60 cities, by a modeling analysis of the daily maximum 8 h average ozone for summer (June–July–August). We find that a local uniform …
Effects of Outdoor and Household Air Pollution on Hand Grip Strength in a Longitudinal Study of Rural Beijing Adults
Background: Outdoor and household PM 2.5 are established risk factors for chronic disease and early mortality. In China, high levels of outdoor PM 2.5 and solid fuel use for cooking and heating, especially in winter, pose large health risks to the country's aging population. Hand grip strength is a validated biomarker of functional aging and strong predictor of disability and mortality in older adults. We investigated the effects of wintertime ho…

Fewer than 15% of coal power plant workers in China can easily shift to green jobs by 2060
Responses of wildfire-induced global black carbon pollution and radiative forcing to climate change
The impacts of climate change on wildfires have been studied extensively. Along with declining emissions from fossil fuel combustion due to anthropogenic emission control, black carbon (BC) released from wildfires is expected to contribute a more significant portion to its atmospheric burden. However, from a global perspective, little is known about the BC burden and radiative forcing caused by wildfires. Here, we report the results from the long…
The volume of trade-induced cross-border freight transportation has doubled and led to 1.14 gigatons CO2 emissions in 2015
Mitigation of air pollutant impacts on rice yields in China by sector
Air quality management is a complex project involving the coordination of multiple sectors and has been identified as an important strategy for food security. However, little is known about how pollutant emissions from each sector affect agriculture. Each sector emits different precursors, resulting in varying impacts of their pollutants and aerosol-climate on rice yield. Therefore, we provide an assessment of air pollution impacts, including dir…
A graph neural network framework based on preference-aware graph diffusion for recommendation
Transforming user check-in data into graph structure data is a popular and powerful way to analyze users' behaviors in the field of recommendation. Graph-based deep learning methods such as graph embeddings and graph neural networks have shown promising performance on the task of point-of-interest recommendation in recent years. Despite effectiveness, existing methods fail to capture deep graph structural information, leading the suboptimal repre…
Evaluation of the Street Canyon Level Air Pollution Distribution Pattern in a Typical City Block in Baoding, China
Urban traffic pollution, which is strongly influenced by the complex urban morphology, has posed a great threat to human health. In this study, we performed a high-resolution simulation of traffic pollution in a typical city block in Baoding, China, based on the Parallelized Large-eddy simulation Model (PALM), to examine the distribution patterns of traffic-related pollutants and explore their relationship with urban morphology. Based on the mode…
Urban residential energy switching in China between 1980 and 2014 prevents 2.2 million premature deaths
PM2.5 reductions in Chinese cities from 2013 to 2019 remain significant despite the inflating effects of meteorological conditions
Adaptive CO2 emissions mitigation strategies of global oil refineries in all age groups
Field-based evidence of changes in household PM 2.5 and exposure during the 2020 national quarantine in China
Air pollution exposure depends not only on outdoor but also on indoor air quality and human activities. The outbreak of coronavirus in 2019 occurred close to the Spring Festival in China, when many rural-to-urban workers moved to their hometowns, resulting in increased household (HH) consumption of solid fuels for space heating in the rural north. In this study, field measurements of HH PM 2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic size ⩽2.5 μ m…
Key Factors for Improving the Carcinogenic Risk Assessment of PAH Inhalation Exposure by Monte Carlo Simulation
Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is a computational technique widely used in exposure and risk assessment. However, the result of traditional health risk assessment based on the MCS method has always been questioned due to the uncertainty introduced in parameter estimation and the difficulty in result validation. Herein, data from a large-scale investigation of individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure was used to explore the key fact…
Increased air pollution exposure among the Chinese population during the national quarantine in 2020
The COVID-19 quarantine in China is thought to have reduced ambient air pollution. The overall exposure of the population also depends, however, on indoor air quality and human mobility and activities. Here, by integrating real-time mobility data and a questionnaire survey on time-activity patterns during the pandemic, we show that despite a decrease in ambient PM2.5 during the quarantine, the total population-weighted exposure to PM2.5 consideri…
Biofuel burning and human respiration bias on satellite estimates of fossil fuel CO 2 emissions
The satellites that have been designed to support the monitoring of fossil fuel CO 2 emissions aim to systematically measure atmospheric CO 2 plumes generated by intense emissions from large cities, power plants and industrial sites. These data can be assimilated into atmospheric transport models in order to estimate the corresponding emissions. However, plumes emitted by cities and powerplants contain not only fossil fuel CO 2 but also significa…
The Slowdown in Global Air-Pollutant Emission Growth and Driving Factors
The impact of environmental protection tax on sectoral and spatial distribution of air pollution emissions in China
Environmental problems, associated with climate change and air pollution, have become increasingly serious for China in recent years, which have aroused great domestic and international concerns. To mitigate these problems with great efforts, the Chinese government has implemented the Environmental Protection Tax Law in the whole country since the beginning of 2018. Although the new tax law is perceived as an aggressive policy that tends to estab…
Air quality and health impacts from the updated industrial emission standards in China
To improve air quality, China has been increasing the stringency of national emission standards for industrial sectors. However, from the projected air quality and associated health impacts it is not known if the updated emission limits have been completely followed. Here, we develop emission inventories based on the emission limits at different stages and use the Weather Research and Forecasting with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model and health impact …
The rise of South–South trade and its effect on global CO2 emissions
Economic globalization and concomitant growth in international trade since the late 1990s have profoundly reorganized global production activities and related CO 2 emissions. Here we show trade among developing nations (i.e., South–South trade) has more than doubled between 2004 and 2011, which reflects a new phase of globalization. Some production activities are relocating from China and India to other developing countries, particularly raw mate…
The long-term relationship between emissions and economic growth for SO 2 , CO 2 , and BC
Simplified assumptions regarding the relationship between per capita income and emissions are oftentimes utilized to generate future emission scenarios in integrated assessment models (IAMs). One such relationship is an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), where emissions first increase, then decline with income growth. However, current knowledge about this relationship lacks the specificity needed for each sector and pollutant pairing, which is im…
The roles of the metallurgy, nonmetal products and chemical industry sectors in air pollutant emissions in China
The metallurgy, nonmetal products and chemical industry sectors (MN&C) are the three major industrial sources of air pollutants in China. Previous studies have focused on calculating emissions from MN&C via production-based accounting and identifying the drivers of MN&C using consumption-based accounting. However, these previous studies did not discuss how the total outputs from MN&C upstream and downstream industries influence air pollutant emis…

Interannual variability of summertime aerosol optical depth over East Asia during 2000–2011
Aerosols degrade air quality, perturb atmospheric radiation, and impact regional and global climate. Due to the rapid increase in anthropogenic emissions, aerosol loading over East Asia (EA) is markedly higher than other industrialized regions, which motivates a need to characterize the evolution of aerosols and understand the associated drivers. Based on the MISR satellite data during 2000–2011, a wave-like interannual variation of summertime ae…
