The Impact of Winter Heating on Air Pollution in China
Fossil-fuel combustion related winter heating has become a major air quality and public health concern in northern China recently. We analyzed the impact of winter heating on aerosol loadings over China using the MODIS-Aqua Collection 6 aerosol product from 2004-2012. Absolute humidity (AH) and planetary boundary layer height (PBL) -adjusted aerosol optical depth (AOD*) was constructed to refle...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Pollution and Ecological Assessment around the Jinsha Coal-Fired Power Plant (China)
Heavy metal pollution is a serious problem worldwide. In this study, 41 soil samples and 32 cabbage samples were collected from the area surrounding the Jinsha coal-fired power plant (JCFP Plant) in Guizhou Province, southwest China. Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Cu and Cr concentrations in soil samples and cabbage samples were analysed to study the pollution sources and risks of heavy metals around the powe...
متن کاملAssociation of particulate air pollution with daily mortality: the China Air Pollution and Health Effects Study.
China is one of the few countries with some of the highest particulate matter levels in the world. However, only a small number of particulate matter health studies have been conducted in China. The study objective was to examine the association of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 10 μm (PM(10)) with daily mortality in 16 Chinese cities between 1996 and 2008. Two-sta...
متن کاملAir Pollution and Mortality
CONTROL? While there are a great many community based models for injury prevention in the scientific literature, the same cannot be said for evidence of their effectiveness. Researchers in Australia performed a comprehensive literature search for formally evaluated community based all cause child injury prevention programmes and succeeded in finding a total of only nine published examples. Only...
متن کاملQuantifying PM2.5 Emissions from China’s Building Sector and Co-benefits of Energy Efficiency
In recent years, China has experienced severe air pollution with adverse health consequences, as exemplified by recent reports of extremely high PM2.5 levels in northern cities such as Beijing. PM2.5 sample measurements have identified coal burning as a significant primary pollutant source in China, especially when coal is used as a major heating fuel in the winter. As urbanization and househol...
