Boosting solar efficiency
China has been vigorously developing the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry to address climate change and air pollution. While aerosols constitute a significant air pollutant that impairs PV generation efficiency, few studies have examined how China’s clean air action (CAA) plan has influenced solar PV performance. To address this gap, we employ the PVLIB-Python model to quantify PV capacity factors and power generation changes across China, due to…
Covid-19 epidemic phases and morbidity in different areas of Chinese mainland, 2020
Background In the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic, the Chinese mainland once effectively controlled the epidemic, but COVID-19 eventually spread faster and faster in the world. The purpose of this study is to clarify the differences in the epidemic data of COVID-19 in different areas and phases in Chinese mainland in 2020, and to analyze the possible factors affecting the occurrence and development of the epidemic. Methods We divided the Chinese…
PM2.5 and ozone pollution-related health challenges in Japan with regards to climate change
Resilience mediates the influence of hope, optimism, social support, and stress on anxiety severity among Chinese patients with cervical spondylosis
Chinese patients with CS had moderate level of mental resilience, which was independently related to hope, optimism, perceived social support, perceived stress, and whether having comorbid chronic diseases. Resilience played a mediating role between various psychological variables and anxiety. Improving the level of resilience, hope, optimism and perceived social support and reducing the level of perceived stress are important strategies to reduc…
Health and economic benefit of China’s greenhouse gas mitigation by 2050
As the biggest greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitter, China’s climate mitigation has tremendous contributions to the global carbon and air pollutants reductions. This study is trying to extract the co-benefit on air quality, public health and economic costs in China and worldwide from China’s GHGs mitigation policy. We construct two scenarios, with moderate climate mitigation action worldwide, versus more stringent climate mitigation action in China. W…
Comparison of multiple PM 2.5 exposure products for estimating health benefits of emission controls over New York State, USA
Ambient exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is one of the top global health concerns. We estimate the PM 2.5 -related health benefits of emission reduction over New York State (NYS) from 2002 to 2012 using seven publicly available PM 2.5 products that include information from ground-based observations, remote sensing and chemical transport models. While these PM 2.5 products differ in spatial patterns, they show consistent decreases in …
Co-benefits of global, domestic, and sectoral greenhouse gas mitigation for US air quality and human health in 2050
Reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can bring ancillary benefits of improved air quality and reduced premature mortality, in addition to slowing climate change. Here we study the co-benefits of global and domestic GHG mitigation on US air quality and human health in 2050 at fine resolution using dynamical downscaling of meteorology and air quality from global simulations to the continental US, and quantify for the first time the co-benef…
Global premature mortality due to anthropogenic outdoor air pollution and the contribution of past climate change
Increased concentrations of ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) since preindustrial times reflect increased emissions, but also contributions of past climate change. Here we use modeled concentrations from an ensemble of chemistry-climate models to estimate the global burden of anthropogenic outdoor air pollution on present-day premature human mortality, and the component of that burden attributable to past climate change. Using simulated c…
