An integrated view of correlated emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Air pollution in China has raised great concerns due to its adverse effects on air quality, human health, and climate. Emissions of air pollutants (APs) are inherently linked with CO₂ emissions through fossil-energy consumption. Knowledge of the characteristics of APs and CO₂ emissions and their relationships is fundamentally important in the pursuit of co-benefits in addressing air quality and climate issues in China. However, the linkages and interactions between APs and CO₂ in China are not well understood.

Results

Here, we conducted an ensemble study of six bottom-up inventories to identify the underlying drivers of APs and CO₂ emissions growth and to explore their linkages in China. The results showed that, during 1
