Air pollution control regulations and benefits for China

pollution-2706961

China has provided air pollution control since 2013. Nevertheless, researches about the evaluation of environmental, health and economic advantages connected with the national and local air pollution control regulations are not sufficient at a city level. The most heavily polluted city in China has been chosen to analyze local policy.

It should be noted that the national and local air pollution control regulations offer crucial environmental, health and economic advantages to a previously polluted area. Air pollution is considered to be a main global health concern, significantly in developing countries, for instance, China.

The thing is that about one-third of cities in China are suffered from a severe impact of air pollution. The main danger of pollution includes the risks of PM2.5. Air quality in China is regarded as the most polluted because of coal-burning and other fossil fuel combustion for heating.

Nevertheless, there is a lack of data about the estimation of the effects on morbidity and connecting economic advantages attributable to reduce PM2.5 concentration. Thus, a comprehensive assessment of the improved air quality, advantages for both mortality and morbidity, and corresponded economic benefits can help policy-making for air pollution control.  

Moreover, the examination of the city-level experience is required to understand how local air pollution regulations can promote the environment, health, and economy. Also, the comprehension of what air pollution control regulations have been implemented at a local level and their efficiency has some limits.

To be more precise, the development of efficient air pollution control policy plays a crucial role in decreasing the production and emissions and improving health as a whole. For instance, coal consumption is now the largest air pollution source. “It is estimated that in all types of air pollution sources in China, about 87% of SO2 and 67% of NOx are emitted from coal combustion.”

Finally, air pollution control regulations in China lead to a 50% reduction in PM2.5 and save a total of 18.4% premature deaths. Also, the advantages of air pollution promote further decreasing PM2.5 to 15 μg/m3 as well as historical and scenario-based modeling analyses result in a crucial reduction in morbidity. The diseases caused by air pollution include acute bronchitis and asthma attacks affected most people.

According to the latest researches, air pollution control improves air quality resulting in significant environmental, health and economic advantages. Herewith, such regulations include the use of air treatment devices such as wet scrubbers. If you would like to make your contribution to improving air quality in order to provide air pollution control, you should choose a new type of wet scrubbers that is Multi-Vortex scrubber. Multi-Vortex wet air scrubber could apply water contaminated with dust, sand, and even small rocks to capture particulate pollutants, different types of dust and some gases from the air. 

This type of scrubber is an ideal solution for ore and coal mining. Thus, it can be used in different mining, combustion and chemical processes to capture gases. Also, in some cases, the unique Multi-Vortex scrubber design allows utilizing cheaper reagents to capture the pollutant gas with more efficiency than a standard wet scrubber.
