Summary: This study identifies the short-term effects of PM2.5 concentrations on medical costs in Beijing. Higher levels and longer-lasting pollution episodes significantly increase health care visits and medical expenditures. The findings highlight the importance of considering both the intensity and duration of pollution episodes when designing policies to reduce the health costs of air pollution.

Summary: The clean heating policy, implemented in 2 + 26 cities of China in 2016, aimed to improve air quality by replacing coal with gas or electricity. The study estimated the economic costs to governments and residents, and evaluated the environmental and public health benefits. Results showed that while the clean heating project had benefits for air pollution control and health, inequality in subsidies between different cities increased the heating burden on low-income households.

Summary: Clean heating is seen as a key strategy to tackle air pollution in northern China. To address the differences in heating habits and residents' income between urban and rural areas, a cost-benefit analysis model is used to propose an improved solution that integrates multiple heat sources. By utilizing low-cost and low-emission-intensity ISM resources, the improved solution reduces PM2.5 emissions from heating to one-fifth, and achieves higher net social benefits.

Summary: This study, based on data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in 2015 and 2018, finds that air pollution has negative effects on both the physical and mental health of middle-aged and elderly residents. Those exposed to chronic shock are more likely to suffer adverse effects from air pollution. Additionally, males are more affected by air pollution than females.

Summary: The heating season in Northern China, which typically relies on high-polluted coal, poses a serious threat to air pollution and human health. In response, the Chinese government introduced the clean heating policy in 2017 to transition from coal to gas or electricity. To assess the progress and impact of this policy, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted. The evaluation analyzed the effects of the policy on air quality from both temporal and spatial perspectives, as well as estimated the health benefits obtained. The empirical results showed significant improvements in PM2.5 pollution mitigation in the "2 + 26 cities" and a larger reduction in SO2 and CO emissions in the Fenwei Plain cities. Furthermore, Tianjin and Hebei demonstrated efficient inhibition of PM2.5 pollution. The policy effects were most concentrated in the first batch of pilot cities and weaker in the subsequent batches. The study also traced the year-by-year impacts of clean heating on air pollutants in the first batch of pilot cities and demonstrated temporal variations in the policy effects. The accumulated health benefits resulting from improved air quality were substantial, supporting evidence-based policymaking in China and providing insights for other developing countries to adopt similar household energy transition initiatives.

Summary: Air pollution, particularly from ship emissions, has a significant impact on health and associated costs in the Iberian Peninsula. The study estimated the excess burden of disease caused by PM2.5 and NO2 ship-related emissions, with significant increase in premature deaths and economic costs. Implementing CAP2020 regulations in 2015 could have reduced ship-related mortality by around 50% for PM2.5 and 30% for NO2.

Summary: Exposure to air pollution can have negative health impacts on children, and this exposure may vary by socio-economic status (SES). A model estimating personal exposure to PM2.5 for 1.3 million children in the Greater London region shows differences in exposure levels across socio-economic groups, with lower-income households generally having higher exposures. However, approximately 57% of London's school-aged population, across all income groups, still exceeded the guideline limits set by the World Health Organisation. These findings highlight the importance of addressing residential indoor sources of PM2.5 in order to reduce personal exposure for school children in London.

Summary: Road transport in urban areas accounts for over 70% of air pollution and 21% of total carbon dioxide emissions in Malaysia in 2016. Transport-related air pollutants pose significant threats to urban population's health. The adoption of electric vehicles could lead to a reduction in respiratory mortality from NOx and SO2, but an increase in mortality from PM2.5 and CO. The potential health cost savings from reduced respiratory mortality could reach up to RM 7.5 billion per year in 2040.

Summary: The management of sewage sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants is a pressing issue, with a survey in the Piemonte region revealing that a significant amount of sludge is disposed of outside of the region or used in agriculture. In response to rising costs and stricter regulations, the regional authority is considering reorganizing its sludge management network with solutions based on proximity and diversification, potentially requiring the planning of new plants for treatment and recovery of sludge.

Summary: Unconventional oil and natural gas development (UOGD) in the United States has expanded rapidly in recent decades, raising concerns about its impact on air quality. This study conducted extensive air monitoring during the development of several large well pads in Broomfield, Colorado, providing a unique opportunity to examine changes in local air toxics and VOC concentrations during well drilling and completions and production. The study identified significant increases in VOC concentrations during drilling operations, highlighting the importance of emissions from synthetic drilling mud. The findings suggest opportunities to mitigate emissions during UOGD operations.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) air pollution levels and their disparities in California, U.S. during the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The results showed a decrease in NO2 concentrations, especially in urban and high-traffic areas. However, socially vulnerable populations still experienced higher levels of NO2 exposure. The study suggests that reducing NO2 disparities, particularly racial inequity, can be achieved through continued regulatory actions targeting traffic-related NOx emissions.

Summary: This study investigates the chemical composition and oxidative potential of PM10 particles in the Po Valley, Italy, and demonstrates the impact of high levels of atmosphere ammonia. The rural area had significantly higher ammonia concentrations compared to the urban site, resulting in higher levels of secondary inorganic aerosol. Although the SIA components did not contribute significantly to the PM10 oxidative reactivity, they were correlated with the oxidative potential measurements. This suggests that the contribution of SIA to PM oxidative toxicity cannot be ignored.
