Air Pollution In China Berkeley Earth In august 2015 berkeley earth’s first scientific paper on air pollution in china was accepted for publication by plos one. while the original paper included four months of data, it was later updated to include analysis and data for 16 months, april 2014 through august 2015. we found that 1.6 million people are dying every year from air. China’s population weighted average exposure to pm 2.5 was 52 µg m3. the observed air pollution is calculated to contribute to 1.6 million deaths year in china [0.7–2.2 million deaths year at 95% confidence], roughly 17% of all deaths in china. introduction air pollution is a problem for much of the developing world and is believed to kill.
Air Pollution In China Berkeley Earth Berkeley earth publishes study on air pollution in china berkeley earth released today a study showing that air pollution kills an average of 4000 people every day in china, 17% of all china’s deaths. for 38% of the population, the average air they breathe is “unhealthy” by u.s. standards. with unprecedented detail, the sources of. An animation of poor air quality in china in 2014. for real time air quality information, visit berkeleyearth.org, an independent source of climate science d. Figure 1. daily average particulate pollution (pm2.5) in the 10 worst chinese and us cities in 2015 (1) unfortunately, after more than 15 years of this rapid growth without public awareness of environment problems, it was not until several extreme air pollution events occured since 2013 that chinese public and authorities started to think about actual or potential deterioration of environment. China has recently made available hourly air pollution data from over 1500 sites, including airborne particulate matter (pm), so2, no2, and o3. we apply kriging interpolation to four months of data to derive pollution maps for eastern china. consistent with prior findings, the greatest pollution occurs in the east, but significant levels are widespread across northern and central china and are.

This smog map from gago environmental solutions shows northern beijing and its environs during a night in may 2015. the color scale shows levels of pm 2.5, with red being highest and blue being. China’s air pollution is so extreme that in 2015, independent research group berkeley earth estimated it contributed to 1.6 million deaths per year in the country.
