“…Many studies have found that greenness may interact with exposure to air pollutants (Ji et al., 2020 ). Greenness can reduce the negative effects of air pollution (Bloemsma et al., 2022 ; Jaafari et al., 2020 ; Zhang et al., 2022 ). Although there is prior research suggesting that greenness may reduce all‐cause mortality (Ji et al., 2020 ), there has been little investigation exploring the connection between greenness and respiratory disease hospitalizations.…”

It is unclear whether Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and greenness have additional modifying effects on the association between air pollution and respiratory system disease. Utilizing a time‐stratified case‐crossover design with a distributed lag linear model, we analyzed the association between six pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, O3, and CO) and 555,498 respiratory hospital admissions in Beijing from 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2019. We employed conditional logistic regression, adjusting for meteorological conditions, holidays and influenza, to calculate percent change of hospitalization risk. Subsequently, we performed subgroup analysis to investigate potential effect modifications using a two‐sample z test. Every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, and O3 led to increases of 0.26% (95%CI: 0.17%, 0.35%), 0.15% (95%CI: 0.09%, 0.22%), 0.61% (95%CI: 0.44%, 0.77%), 1.72% (95%CI: 1.24%, 2.21%), and 0.32% (95%CI: 0.20%, 0.43%) in admissions, respectively. Also, a 1 mg/m3 increase in CO levels resulted in a 2.50% (95%CI: 1.96%, 3.04%) rise in admissions. The links with NO2 (p < 0.001), SO2 (p < 0.001), O3 (during the warm season, p < 0.001), and CO (p < 0.001) were significantly weaker among patients residing in areas with higher levels of greenness. No significant modifying role of GDP was observed. Greenness can help mitigate the effects of air pollutants, while the role of GDP needs further investigation.

“…The rapid development of the global economy and anthropogenic climate change have precipitated a series of environmental issues (Li G et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2022), including rising sea levels, melting glaciers, species extinction, and newly emerging diseases. These problems pose a considerable challenge for the sustainable development of human society (Holden et al, 2014;Han et al, 2020;Zhu et al, 2021).…”
