Impacts of air pollution and its spatial spillover effect on public health based on China's big data sample

Environmental Accounting of Financial Development and Foreign Investment: Spatial Analyses of East Asia

“…Car ownership in China is about 12% than that of the U.S., but the country suffers from about the same level of road congestion, leaving many questions regarding its emissions trajectory. Another spatial analysis on China was conducted by Chen et al [2] to explore the effects of pollution on health. After analyzing data from 116 cities in China, the existence of adverse health impact of pollution has been proven with a spatial existence, indicating that pollution affects the locals and neighbors' health at the same time.…”

“…Xiaong et al [20] have tested the effect of FMD on CO 2 emissions in a single country case of China, but no study has yet tested the effect of FMD in a panel of East Asia. Additionally, the role of spatial dependency is something that is scant in the empirical environment literature; although, a good number of studies have investigated the spatial effects in the provinces or cities of China [1,2,[5][6][7][8][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. However, this analysis is totally absent for a panel of East Asia, and there is a need to incorporate this idea into research.…”

The Tsinghua–Lancet Commission on Healthy Cities in China: unlocking the power of cities for a healthy China

“…For soot emissions, the same increase would increase mortality from respiratory diseases by 0·07 per 10 000 people, with spatial spillover effects also leading to an increase of 4·12 per 10 000 people in neighbouring cities. 96 The overall toll of air pollution on the health of urban residents of China is substantial. According to the latest estimate by WHO, 75 ambient air pollution in cities led to an age-standardised death rate of 70 per 100 000 people in 2012, which is much higher than the worldwide average of 47 per 100 000 people.…”

What is the health cost of haze pollution? Evidence from China

“…Since the late 1990s, epidemiologists have paid substantial attention to the study of air particulates and found that particles are the most harmful air pollutant to physical health. One of the main components of the haze, fine particles (PM 2.5 ), are a great threat to human health (eg, Pope et al; Niu et al; Chen et al) that increase the incidence of respiratory diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and lung cancer, and therefore may aggravate the risk of death. At the same time, the short‐term concentration change in haze pollutants is highly correlated with daily mortality .…”
