Abstract Air pollution is one of the most challenging environmental issues in world. China has achieved remarkable success improving air quality last decade as a result aggressive control policies. However, average fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) concentration still about six times World Health Organization (WHO) Global Quality Guidelines (AQG) and causing significant human health risks. Extreme emission reductions multiple pollutants are required for to achieve AQG. Here we identify major challenges future improvement propose corresponding strategies. The main include persistently high risk attributed PM pollution, excessively loose standards, coordinated greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions emerging pollutants. To further improve protect health, health-oriented strategy shall be implemented by tightening standards well optimizing reduction pathways based on risks various sources. In meantime, an “one-atmosphere” concept adopted strengthen synergistic GHGs non-combustion sources enhanced.

COVID-19 lockdowns reduced nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions in many countries. We aim to quantify the changes these pollutants assess attributable mortality Jiangsu, China; California, U.S.; Central-southern Italy; Germany during early 2020. Accounting for meteorological impacts air pollution time trends, we use a machine learning-based normalization technique difference-in-differences approach NO2 PM2.5 concentrations due lockdowns. Using region-specific estimates of association between derived from causal modeling using data 2015 2019, caused by During lockdowns, reductions avoided 1.41 (95% empirical confidence interval [eCI]: 0.94, 1.88), 0.44 eCI: 0.17, 0.71), 4.66 2.03, 7.44) deaths per 100,000 people Italy, respectively. Mortality benefits were also significant, albeit smaller magnitude.

In the pursuit of carbon neutrality, China's 2060 targets have been largely anchored in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with less emphasis on consequential benefits for air quality and public health. This study pivots to this critical nexus, exploring how neutrality aligns World Health Organization's guidelines (WHO AQG) regarding fine particulate matter (PM
