Air pollution is a major trigger for chronic respiratory and circulatory diseases. As key component of air pollution, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure largely determined by land use type population density. However, simultaneous consideration their spatiotemporal distribution lacking in existing studies on PM2.5 exposure. In this paper, we first assess the dynamic evolution patterns Gansu Province, China, from 2000 to 2020, using transfer matrix degree. Population-weighted (PWE) then evaluated each at provincial, city, county levels, with seasonal variations analyzed. Spatial autocorrelation analysis finally performed explore exposure, whereas standard deviation ellipses gravity center migration models highlight spatial characteristics shifting trends. Experimental results showed that 2010 was turning point annual provincial level an initial increase followed decrease. Construction had highest forest lowest (except 2005). Exposure levels pattern: higher winter spring lower summer autumn. At city southern indicated continuous decline across all types since 2000. exhibited strong positive correlation, fluctuating convergence. This study comprehensively analyzes multi-scale differences various types, contributing provide scientific evidence decision-making support mitigating enhancing coordinated control administrative levels.

To investigate the impact of seasonal variations in particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5) exposure on assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. This retrospective study, conducted at First People's Hospital Shangqiu, analyzed data from 13,476 patients who underwent ART procedures between February 2018 and December 2022. Patients were categorized based PM2.5 levels. A generalized additive model (GAM), linear regression analysis, multivariate logistic used to assess relationship outcomes, including oocyte embryo quality, pregnancy rates, live birth miscarriage rates. Significant differences observed number, metaphase II (MII) transferable embryos, good-quality embryos across subgroups. Pregnancy rates also demonstrated statistically significant variations. Linear analysis revealed a consistent negative correlation concentrations key Multivariate adjusting for age variations, confirmed association both (OR = 0.995, 95% CI: 0.994-0.996, p < 0.001) 0.996, 0.995-0.997, 0.001).

In recent years, many studies have focused on the effects of air pollution ocular surface health. However, there is currently little research relationship between pterygium and pollution. We aimed to investigate pollutants solar radiation progression in adults through a 5-year time series analysis. After collecting meteorological data clinical visits for Shanghai, China from 2017 2023, we established distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) statistical also conducted subgroup analysis according age sex impact risk factors different populations. This cohort included total 57 211 cases. found that radiation, particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometre (μm) (PM2.5), ozone (O3) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) all increased outpatient treatment within certain concentration range. Among them, PM2.5 most significant effects. The relative (RR) value was highest when reach peak at 13 days. Subgroup showed women people aged 55 65 years were more susceptible extremely high concentrations PM2.5. Our results suggested addition which recognized as factor pterygium, exposure seems be related with an increase pterygium. More targeted prevention early interventions strategies remain studied.

China’s rapid urbanization has spurred economic growth and posed environmental challenges. We investigate the relationship between multidimensional pollution by a fixed effect model based on panel data of 70 cities in three major urban agglomerations Yangtze River Economic Belt during 2005–2020. Overall, aggravates then decreases agglomerations, which is closely related to control policies. Environmental shows obvious spatial heterogeneities five levels have been gradually changed from high-value low-value levels. In Belt, dominated “High–High” “Low–Low” clusters. Among them, clusters move eastwards, while concentrate southeastwards. Multidimensional helps alleviate regional pollution. Economic, social, land reduces certain extent.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration, a crucial indicator reflecting changes in air quality, has frequently been used previous studies. However, the effects of large-scale ecological restoration (ER) projects on PM2.5 concentrations are often overlooked. Therefore, we net primary productivity (NPP) as an ER engineering benefits, ensemble empirical modal decomposition (EEMD) to reveal trend linear and nonlinear relationships driven by different types amounts projects, utilized Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) Shapley's Additive Interpretation (SHAP) values quantify impact each factor long-term concentrations. The results suggest that: (1) better describes change, with shift from increasing decreasing areas covering 74.15% China's area, especially four major zones; (2) concentration exhibits regional effects, L-L H-H aggregation account for larger proportion distributed low high concentrations, respectively. (3) year 1990 marks turning point 36.8% regions. Across regions emerge: dramatic increase before implementation, followed slowing growth initial stages project, ultimately gradual decrease.

These findings highlight influence addition provide theoretical basis scientific technological support quantifying suppression pollution projects.
