The recent and future PM_2.5-related health burden in China apportioned by emission source.

ABSTRACT: This study estimated PM_2.5 (atmospheric fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µg) concentrations and the health burden in mainland China from 2010 to 2049 under two scenarios: Current Legistaions and Maximum Technical Feasible Reductions. We assess premature deaths from PM_2.5 exposure, examining sources like coal combustion, biomass burning, industry, and tailpipe emission from on-road transport. Results show that central and eastern China account for 75% of PM_2.5-related deaths, with biomass burning (40%) and industry (34%) as primary contributors. Under the Current Legistaions and Maximum Technical Feasible Reductions scenarios, PM_2.5-related premature deaths are projected to decrease by 43% and 80% (linear EVA) and by 28% incr
