摘要：The ground-level ozone (O-3) concentration in the urban regions of China has become an increasingly noticeable environmental problem in recent years. Many epidemiological studies have reported the association between O-3 pollution and mortality, only a few studies have focused on the O-3-related mortality and corresponding economic effects at the Chinese city and province level. This study reports the seasonal variation of ground-level O-3 in 338 cities of China during the year 2016 and evaluate ...More
The ground-level ozone (O-3) concentration in the urban regions of China has become an increasingly noticeable environmental problem in recent years. Many epidemiological studies have reported the association between O-3 pollution and mortality, only a few studies have focused on the O-3-related mortality and corresponding economic effects at the Chinese city and province level. This study reports the seasonal variation of ground-level O-3 in 338 cities of China during the year 2016 and evaluates its effect on premature mortality and economic loss. It further illustrates the differences in cause-specific mortality outcomes of the log-linear and linear model, two of the prominently used methods for estimating health effects. In 2016, the annual average daily maximum 8-h O-3 concentration in China ranged between 74 and 201 mu g/m(3) (138 +/- 24.7 mu g/m(3)). 30% of the total population was exposed to >160 mu g/m(3) O-3 concentration (Chinese national ambient air quality standard) and about 67.2% urban population lived in exposure above the WHO recommended O-3 concentrations (100 aim3). The estimated national O-3-attributable mortality was 74.2 x 10(3) (95% CI: 16.7 x 10(3)-127 x 10(3)) in the log-linear model, whereas, the total O-3-related mortality using the linear model was 69.6 x 10(3) (95% Cl: 16.2 x 10(3)-115 x 10(3)). The exposure to O-3 caused a nationwide economic loss of about 7.6 billion US$ (range: 1.7-12.9) in 2016. This study uniquely provides most comprehensive coverage of the Chinese cities for O-3 associated mortality utilizing ground level measurement data for 2016 and presents a measurable assessment to the policymakers of China for streamlining their efforts on air quality improvement and O-3 containment.
