“…It is a cultural, financial, economical and educational centre of the country and one of Central Asia's most popular and populated cities. Consequently, the residents suffer from severe detrimental impacts of bad air quality (Aiman et al, 2018;Ibragimova et al, 2016;Lyu et al, 2018;Nyssanbayeva et al, 2019).…”

There has been a growing interest in the impact of environmental awareness on ‘green’ or ‘environmentally friendly’ consumption patterns, and this has been the subject of much research by environmental psychologists. However, the effect of environmental awareness on residents and their attachment to their homes and their environment has received little attention and is worthy of closer examination. Outdoor air quality can be considered one of the most critical environmental factors impacting the value of a residential location. This research investigates how air pollution-related environmental factors influence residents’ attachment to the place of residence and their willingness to move. It defines the structural relationship between air pollution awareness parameters, which are later employed in the proposed structural equation model (SEM), to explain ‘district loyalty’. A survey was carried out in Almaty, Kazakhstan, one of the most populated and polluted cities in Central Asia. A total of 550 respondents responded. Based on the overall model’s test results, the factors relating to district loyalty explained the 17.5% variation in the samples, which suggests that the perception of residents to their district air quality has a low-level impact on loyalty to their place of residence. The power of perceived environmental risks appears to have little relation to district loyalty. The most influential factor on the model is environmental behaviour parameter, which is about adopting attitudes and behaviours aimed at minimizing negative impacts on the environment. When the perceived environmental risk increased, their place attachment levels only slightly decreased. However, the obtained results do not confirm that district loyalty significantly correlates with their readiness/unreadiness to move to another residence in order to enjoy improved air quality. To sum up, environmental awareness of local air quality seems not to directly affect residents’ attachment to place. Nevertheless, indirect effects can be presented in research relating to urban residents’ place attachment. Research, policy and sectoral implications of the findings are addressed and discussed in detail.

A multitude of epidemiological studies have demonstrated that both ambient temperatures and air pollution are closely related to health outcomes. However, whether temperature has modi cation effects on the association between ozone and health outcomes is still debated. In this study, Three parallel timeseries Poisson generalized additive models (GAMs) were used to examine the effects of modifying ambient temperatures on the association between ozone and mortality (including non-accidental, respiratory, and cardiovascular mortality) in Chengdu, China, from 2014 to 2016. The results con rmed that the ambient high temperatures strongly ampli ed the adverse effects of ozone on human mortality; speci cally, the ozone effects were most pronounced at >28°C. Without temperature strati cation conditions, a 10-µg/m 3 increase in the maximum 8-hour average ozone (O 3−8hmax ) level at lag01 was associated with increases of 0.40% (95% con dence interval [CI]: 0.15%, 0.65%), 0.61% (95%CI: 0.27%, 0.95%) and 0.69% (95%CI: 0.34%, 1.04%) in non-accidental, respiratory, and cardiovascular mortality, respectively. On days during which the temperature exceeded 28°C, a 10-µg/m 3 increase in O 3−8hmax led to increases of 2.22% (95%CI: 1.21%, 3.23%), 2.67% (95%CI: 0.57%, 4.76%), and 4.13% (95%CI: 2.34%, 5.92%) in non-accidental, respiratory, and cardiovascular mortality, respectively. Our ndings validated that high temperature could further aggravate the health risks of O 3−8hmax , thus mitigating ozone exposure will be brought into the limelight especially under the context of changing climate.
