“…33 A Chinese study, noting that urbanisation and industrialisation have increased PM emissions in Chinese cities, found that 64.2% of 338 PM 2.5 samples exceeded National Standard I, 53.0% of 338 PM 10 samples exceeded National Standard II and 70.7% of urban ambient air quality exceeded National Standard III. 40 In addition, more residents in low-income and middle-income countries rely on traditional energy sources for home cooking and heating, and in China, 32% of Chinese still use solid fuels for heating and cooking, resulting in much higher levels of exposure to PM pollution than in high-income countries. 8 41 At the same time, countries with higher levels of development may have more stringent air quality controls, 42 and some studies have clearly indicated that Japan and South Korea have conducted air quality research in an effort to alleviate air pollution problems within their borders, leading to relatively clean air quality in Japan and South Korea compared with other Northeast Asian countries.…”

ObjectiveWe hope to reveal the changing trends of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) burden attributable to particulate matter pollution (PM2.5) and its age, period and cohort effects in China, Japan and Korea.DesignWe analysed the trend of COPD disease burden attributable to PM2.5from 1990 to 2019 based on the latest Global Burden of Disease Database (GBD 2019) using JoinPoint model and analysed the effect of age, period and cohort on COPD burden attributable to PM2.5in China, Japan and Korea from 1990 to 2019 using age-period-cohort model (model).SettingGBD data from 1990 to 2019.ParticipantsData were publicly available and individuals were not involved.Main outcomesOutcomes included the age standardised mortality rate (ASMR), the age-standardised disability-adjusted life year (DALY), average annual per cent change (AAPC), net drift, local drift, longitudinal age curves, period (cohort) rate ratios, age (period, cohort) bias coefficient.ResultsFrom 1990 to 2019, the ASMR of COPD attributable to PM2.5in China (AAPC=−5.862), Japan (AAPC=−1.715) and Korea (AAPC=−1.831) showed a downward trend. The age-standardised DALY of COPD attributable to PM2.5in China (AAPC=−5.821), Japan (AAPC=−1.39) and Korea (AAPC=−1.239) showed a downward trend. Mortality of COPD attributable to PM2.5increased slowly with age in Korea and Japan. Mortality of COPD attributable to PM2.5in China decreased after rising (95% CI: 404.66 to 466.01). Mortality of COPD attributable to PM2.5decreased over time in China and Korea, while it increased in Japan from 2015 to 2019. In China and Japan, mortality of COPD attributable to PM2.5was approximately lower the later the birth, while in Korea it decreased after an increase (95% CI: 2.13 to 2.40) in the 1900–1910.ConclusionsMost COPD burden attributable to PM2.5is on the decline; COPD mortality attributable to PM2.5both increased with age and decreased with time and cohort. Countries with high burden should develop targeted measures to control PM2.5.

There has recently been a growing concern about developing an environmentally friendly lifestyle (EFL) through suitable education arrangements on different media types. In this study, we propose a research model to compare the effectiveness of using traditional media and social media in promoting and engaging young people with such educational information. We collected survey data from 400 participants from Hong Kong and Guam to test the proposed model using structural equation modeling. Our findings show the effectiveness of social media in engaging young people to practice an EFL through environmental involvement and other practicing concerns, as well as through value co-creation on social media. Yet, traditional media is a more effective tool for disseminating such information to young people than social media. The relatively consistent results obtained from data collected from Hong Kong and Guam show the generalizability of the research model, showing the importance of using both traditional media and social media to engage with young people with EFL information. Our findings, therefore, provide insights for stakeholders as foundations for further research in using social media to disseminate EFL information to society.
