Exploring the effect of air pollution on social activity in China using geotagged social media check-in data
79
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used geotagged check-in records on Weibo, a Tweeter-like platform, to systematically investigate the effect of air pollution on urban activity, and they found clear evidence that such effect exists and varies between pollutants, visitors and residents, and different activity types.

Evidence on the impact of sustained exposure to air pollution on life expectancy from China’s Huai River policy
TL;DR: The analysis suggests that long-term exposure to an additional 100 μg/m3 of TSPs is associated with a reduction in life expectancy at birth and that life expectancies are about 5.5 y lower in the north owing to an increased incidence of cardiorespiratory mortality.
