Abstract
Air quality is a major environmental concern in China, where
premature deaths due to air pollution have exceeded 1 million people per
year in recent years. Here, using a novel coupling of economic,
physical and epidemiological models, we estimate the premature
mortality related to anthropogenic outdoor PM2. 5 air pollution in seven
regions of China in 2010 and show for the first time how the
distribution of these deaths in China is determined by a combination
of economic activities and physical transport of pollution in the
atmosphere. We find that 33 % (338 600 premature deaths) of
China's PM2. 5-related premature mortality in 2010 were
caused by pollutants emitted in a different region of the country
and transported in the atmosphere, especially from north to south
and from east to west. Trade further extended the cross-regional
impact; 56 % of (568 900 premature deaths) China's
PM2. 5-related premature mortality was related to
consumption in another region, including 423 800 (42 % of
total) and 145 100 (14 %) premature deaths from domestic consumption and international trade respectively. Our
results indicate that multilateral and multi-stage cooperation under
a regional sustainable development framework is in urgent need to
mitigate air pollution and related health impacts, and efforts to
reduce the health impacts of air pollution in China should be
prioritized according to the source and location of emissions, the
type and economic value of the emitting activities, and the related
patterns of consumption.
