TL;DR: The measure-by-measure evaluation indicated that strengthening industrial emission standards, upgrades on industrial boilers, phasing out outdated industrial capacities, and promoting clean fuels in the residential sector were major effective measures in reducing PM2.5 pollution and health burdens in China.

TL;DR: Zheng et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the anthropogenic air pollutant emissions from mainland China by using a bottom-up approach based on the near-real-time data in 2020 and use the estimated emissions to simulate air quality changes with a chemical transportation model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new comprehensive point source database that includes nearly 100,000 industrial facilities in China was compiled, and the authors couple it with the frame of Multi-resolution Emission Inventory for China (MEIC), estimate point source emissions, combine point and area sources, and finally map China's anthropogenic emissions of 2013 at the spatial resolution of 30″×30″ (~1 km).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the decadal changes in carbon dioxide and air pollutant emissions for the period of 1990-2015 based on intensive unit-based information on activity metrics, production capacity, operation status, and control technologies.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated the effect of China's stringent clean air actions on its energy use and CO 2 emissions from 2013-2020, finding that widespread phase-out and upgrades of outdated, polluting, and inefficient combustion facilities during clean-air actions have promoted the transformation of the country's energy system.
