Analyses of air pollution control measures and co-benefits in the heavily air-polluted Jinan city of China, 2013-2017.

ABSTRACT: China has made great efforts in air pollution control since 2013. However, there is a lack of evaluation of environmental, health and economic co-benefits associated with the national and local air pollution control measures at a city level. We analyzed local air pollution control policies and implementation in Jinan, one of the most heavily air-polluted cities in China between 2013 and 2017. We assessed the changes in exhaust emissions, air quality, mortality and morbidity of associated specific-diseases, and related economic benefits. We also projected the future scenarios of PM_2.5 concentration dropped to 15 μg/m³. There were significant decreases in exhaust emissions of SO₂ and NO_x in Jinan during the study period. Annual reductions in ambien
