“…Lu et al 41 used PM 2.5 data from a 1 km high-resolution annual satellite search to estimate the concentration of PM 2.5 in China from 2001 to 2017 and its adverse health effects, concluding that urbanization caused an increase in PM 2.5 concentrations and had a significant impact on mortality. Bayat et al 42 used an Environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BenMAP-CE) to analyze the human health problems caused by exposure to air pollutants in 349 communities in Helan, Germany, and found that 7146 people in the community had died of ischemic heart diseases, strokes, lower respiratory tract infections, lung cancers, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases in 2017. Huang et al 43 explored the relationships between Beijing residents in China affected by PM 2.5 , finding that household income and education were negatively correlated with ambient air quality in 2014, and therefore Beijing residents with lower incomes and education levels had increased potential health risks.…”

China’s pursuit of economic growth, rapid industrialization, and urbanization over the past few decades has resulted in high energy consumption, which in turn has caused serious environmental pollution problems, such as CO2 and PM2.5 emissions, the long-term exposure to which can seriously affect resident health. To resolve these air pollution problems, the Chinese government has put in place several policies to reduce air and environmental pollution. Past studies on energy and environmental efficiency have been mostly static, have ignored the dynamic changes over time and regional differences, and have rarely considered human health factors. Therefore, this study employed a modified meta 2-stage Epsilon-Based Measure (EBM) Malmquist model to explore the relationships between the economy, energy, the environment, health and media, and the regional differences in 31 Chinese cities from 2014 to 2016. It was found that (1) Haikou and Lhasa’s efficiencies were 1 and were the best in all 3 years, and Shijiazhuang, Jinan and Shenyang’s were the most improved; (2) there was a gap between the eastern, central and western technological frontiers, with Chengdu, Hohhot, Chongqing, and Nanchang having technological gap ratios below 0.70 in the western and central Chinese regions, and Haikou, Guangzhou, and Shanghai in eastern China having technological gap ratios above 0.90 in all 3 years; and (3) the variations in the health treatment stage were greater than in the production stage, indicating that technological changes and efficiency improvements in the health treatment stages in each city were not stable.

“…Health scientists define air pollution syndrome which is mainly manifested in headache, fatigue, insomnia, allergic irritability, depression, eye pain, back pain, impaired judgment, gastrointestinal diseases and so on (Duncan Lee, 2019) [14].The deterioration of air quality is bound to lead to poor health and rising health costs and has an impact on the income level and consumption level of the population as a whole. (Reza Bayat et al, 2019) [15]. The increase in medical care will reduce household savings assets, increase debt, crowd out food and clothing consumption, and reduce the well-being of residents (Qi Tang, 2016) [16].…”

Based on urban economics, behavioural economics and western economics theory, we analysed the effects of air pollution on the real estate market through VAR model and IRF using the AQI and the residential commercial housing market data from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2020. We found that there is intrinsic link between changes in air pollution levels and changes in real estate market. When air pollution levels increase, it will have a sustained inhibitory effect on housing price and housing turnover. The effect on housing price will last about 5 months and the effect on housing turnover will last about 2 months. After having a comparative analysis of the IRF of the average price in six jurisdictions in Shanghai we found that inhibitory effect which air pollution impact on real estate market has different forms of expression. Residents in areas with relatively poor air quality are more willing to pay for clean air and housing transactions in areas with relatively good air quality are more sensitive to air pollution.

“…Third, low energy prices have led to inefficient use of energy and elevated levels of outdoor air pollution (Enriquez et al, 2018), such that the air quality in Tehran and other large cities became unhealthy or hazardous in many days of the year in the past decade (Ahadi and Roshani, 2018). The effects of the high levels of air pollution on Iranians' health are well documented (Dehghan et al, 2018, Bayat et al, 2019Sicard et al, 2019;Karimi et al, 2020). Therefore, if it is gradual and allows for households' and businesses' adjustment and is coupled with an expansion of safety nets, cutting energy price subsidies is redistributive and has public health benefits.…”

➢Fossil Energy price subsidy encourages overconsumption and elevates air pollution. ➢A 100% energy price hike leads to a 29% decrease in household energy consumption. ➢A 100% energy price hike leads to a 62.9 million ton reduction in air pollutants. ➢A 200% energy price hike leads to a 45% decrease in household energy consumption. ➢A 200% energy price hike leads to a 74.5 million ton reduction in air pollutants.
