Spatio-temporal variation and driving factors analysis of PM2.5 health risks in Chinese cities

The high concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has always been a key indicator affecting Chinese environmental quality and a core factor restricting sustainable development. This article refers to the implementation of Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, analyzes the spatiot...

This article refers to the implementation of Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, analyzes the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of PM2.5 health risks in 247 cities in China from 2015 to 2017, and divides the cities into four types by the interannual variation differences in health risks: cities with PM2.5 health risks continuously decreased (hereinafter referred to as I type cities), cities with PM2.5 health risks continuously increased (Ⅱ type cities), cities with unknown changes of PM2.5 health risks (IIItype cities), and cities with irregular changes of PM2.5 health risks (Ⅳ type cities). The STIRPAT model and cross-sectional regression method are used to explore the influence and difference in socioeconomic drivers on PM2.5 health risks in types of cities.
