摘要
Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter(PM_(2.5))has slowly increased both the morbidity and mortality among Chinese people;becoming a leading problem for public health efforts.In this study,the exposure-response function was used to derive the spatial-temporal dynamics of disease burden attributable to PM_(2.5) pollution in China.It was found that the economic loss attributable to PM(2.5) increased by 93% from 35 billion Chinese yuan to 536 billion Chinese yuan within the period of 16 years.Digging further,a substantiate level of regional difierences was discovered with the disease burden being the most severe in East China and the least severe in Northwest China.This article can provide more insights for future air pollution control in China.
