Evidence on the impact of sustained exposure to air pollution on life expectancy from China’s Huai River policy
TL;DR: The analysis suggests that long-term exposure to an additional 100 μg/m3 of TSPs is associated with a reduction in life expectancy at birth and that life expectancies are about 5.5 y lower in the north owing to an increased incidence of cardiorespiratory mortality.

Multiphase chemistry at the atmosphere-biosphere interface influencing climate and public health in the anthropocene.
Ulrich Pöschl,Manabu Shiraiwa +1 more
TL;DR: This work addresses air contaminants and their multiphase chemical interactions at the atmosphere−biosphere interface, including human lungs and skin, plant leaves, cryptogamic covers, soil, and aquatic surfaces, and the chemical interactions of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, as well as carbonaceous combustion aerosols.

Air pollution and control action in Beijing
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper summarized China's ambient air quality standards, China's policies and regulations on air pollution prevention and control, and introduced control measures and actions in Beijing and its surrounding areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing Beijing's PM2.5 pollution: Severity, weather impact, APEC and winter heating
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a statistical approach to adjust PM2.5 concentration with respect to meteorological conditions, which can be used to monitor PM 2.5 pollution in a location.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mortality and Medical Costs of Air Pollution: Evidence from Changes in Wind Direction.
TL;DR: Both approaches find that mortality effects are concentrated in about 25 percent of the elderly population, and a new approach that uses machine learning to estimate the life-years lost due to pollution exposure is developed.

An Association between Air Pollution and Mortality in Six U.S. Cities
Douglas W. Dockery,C A Pope rd,X Xu,John D. Spengler,James H. Ware,Martha E. Fay,Benjamin G. Ferris,Frank E. Speizer +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that fine-particulate air pollution, or a more complex pollution mixture associated with fine particulate matter, contributes to excess mortality in certain U.S. cities.

TL;DR: It is the opinion of the writing group that the overall evidence is consistent with a causal relationship between PM2.5 exposure and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Regression Discontinuity Designs in Economics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an introduction and user guide to regression discontinuity (RD) design for empirical researchers, including the basic theory behind RD design, details when RD is likely to be valid or invalid given economic incentives.
