Long-term Air Pollution Exposure Impact on COVID-19 Morbidity in China by Yihan Wu, Qingming Zhan, Qunshan Zhao

“…To fill this gap, this study investigates the influences of particulate matters (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) on COVID-19 incidence rate based on the prefecture-level morbidity count and air quality data in China. Annual means for ambient PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, CO and O3 concentrations in each prefecture are used to estimate the population’s exposure. …”

Multi-type Air Pollutant Emission Inventory of Non-road Mobile Sources in China for the Period 1990–2017 by Xianbao Shen, Lei Kong, Yue Shi, Xinyue Cao, Xin Li, Bobo Wu, Hanyu Zhang, Zhiliang Yao

“…Therefore, accurately estimating the emissions from non-road mobile sources is essential to developing effective policies for improving air quality. Hence, this study established an inventory of nine air pollutants, viz., CO, NOx, HC, PM2.5, PM10, BC, OC, VOCs, and SO2, emitted by four types of non-road mobile sources, viz., construction machinery, agricultural machinery, vessels, and diesel locomotives, in China for the period 1990–2017. …”
