Highlights Mental disorders in COVID-19 patients and survivors revealed that the COVID-19 had immune dysfunction. Analysing the symptoms of COVID-19, TCM syndrome of the depression, anxiety and PTSD was interpreted as internal heat and Yin deficiency. Depression, anxiety and PTSD pertains the category of “lily disease”, “hysteria” and “deficient dysphoria” in TCM. Lily Bulb and Rehmannia Decoction, Lily Bulb and Anemarrhenae Decoction and Ganmai Dazao Decoction were used to treat the depression.

Abstract:China is now facing great challenges resulting from climate change and air pollution, driven by the processes of industrialization and urbanization. Greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions produced by the coal-fired power industry represent approximately 70% of the total emissions in China's industrial sector. In this study, 39 coal-fired power plants built in China between 2014 and 2015 were analyzed in regards to the co-effects oncarbon dioxide and air pollutant emissions generated directly and indirectly by end-of-pipe measures of pollution control. After completing the quantitative analysis with input data from 83units of power plants, we found that co-effects were positive only for air pollutant reductions through the implementation of desulfurization, denitrification, and dedusting measures, but co-effects were negative for carbon dioxide production because of the corresponding electricity use and chemical reactions that led to the increases in carbon dioxide emissions. We also performed an assessment of the synergistic coefficients to better understand the degree of co-effects. It will be important for researchers to take a comprehensive view of China's coal-fired power plants and look for solutions that can maximize positive co-effects and achieve overall co-benefits of reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants.

Due to ongoing urbanization and industrialization, the energy and electricity demand and consumption are rapidly growing in China, resulting in large air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. The coal-fired power industry is a key to achieving synergistic reduction of air pollutant and carbon emissions. This paper quantifies and
