Quantitative association analysis between PM2.5 concentration and factors on industry, energy, agriculture, and transportation

Abstract Rapid urbanization is causing serious PM2.5 (particulate matter ≤2.5 μm) pollution in China. However, the impacts of human activities (including industrial production, energy production, agriculture, and transportation) on PM2.5 concentrations have not been thoroughly studied. In this study...
