Abstract:This study investigated the spatiotemporal characteristics and influencing factors of PM2.5 concentrations at the provincial scale in China. The findings indicate significant spatial autocorrelation, with notable high–high agglomerations in East and North China and mixed patterns in the northwest. The spatial Durbin model (SDM) with fixed effects, validated through comprehensive tests, was utilized to analyze data on 31 provincial scale regions from 2000 to 2020, addressing spatial autocorrelation and ensuring… Show more
