TLDR
The effects of residential energy use on emissions, outdoor and indoor PM2.5 concentrations, exposure, and premature deaths in China are fully modeled using updated energy data to show that the residential sector contributed only 7.5% of total energy consumption but contributed 27% of primary PM 2.5 emissions.Abstract:
Residential contribution to air pollution-associated health impacts is critical, but inadequately addressed because of data gaps. Here, we fully model the effects of residential energy use on emissions, outdoor and indoor PM2.5 concentrations, exposure, and premature deaths using updated energy data. We show that the residential sector contributed only 7.5% of total energy consumption but contributed 27% of primary PM2.5 emissions; 23 and 71% of the outdoor and indoor PM2.5 concentrations, respectively; 68% of PM2.5 exposure; and 67% of PM2.5-induced premature deaths in 2014 in China, with a progressive order of magnitude increase from sources to receptors. Biomass fuels and coal provided similar contributions to health impacts. These findings are particularly true for rural populations, which contribute more to emissions and face higher premature death risks than urban populations. The impacts of both residential and nonresidential emissions are interconnected, and efforts are necessary to simultaneously mitigate both emission types.read more

TL;DR: In this article , the unequal toxicity of inhaled particulate matter emitted from energy use in the residential sector and coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) was reported, and the incomplete burning of solid fuels in household stoves generates much higher concentrations of carbonaceous matter, resulting in more than one order of magnitude greater toxicity than that from CFPPs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored spatial and temporal trends in mortality and burden of disease attributable to ambient air pollution from 1990 to 2015 at global, regional, and country levels, and estimated the relative risk of mortality from ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and lower respiratory infections from epidemiological studies using nonlinear exposure-response functions spanning the global range of exposure.

The contribution of outdoor air pollution sources to premature mortality on a global scale
TL;DR: It is found that emissions from residential energy use such as heating and cooking, prevalent in India and China, have the largest impact on premature mortality globally, being even more dominant if carbonaceous particles are assumed to be most toxic.

TL;DR: The WRF/Chem model is statistically better skilled in forecasting O3 than MM5/Chem, with no appreciable differences between models in terms of bias with the observations, and consistently exhibits better skill at forecasting the O3 precursors CO and NOy at all of the surface sites.

TL;DR: The most common non-communicable diseases, including ischaemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancers (liver, stomach, and lung), contributed much more to YLLs in 2013 compared with 1990, and road injuries have become a top ten cause of death in all provinces in mainland China.

TL;DR: It is indicated that pollution levels in households using solid fuel generally exceed China’s indoor air quality standards, and intervention technologies ranging from simply adding a chimney to the more complex modernized bioenergy program are available.
