The document is a presentation introducing PM2.5 measurements in urban China. It discusses why PM2.5 has become a focus, how it is characterized, its sources and environmental impacts. It describes PM2.5 particles as small aerosols that can penetrate deep into lungs and cause health issues. Major sources include industry, transportation and coal burning. Monitoring of PM2.5 is important to understand air quality issues and protect public health.

with
Asthma
• People
with

disease
• Most
harmful
are
the

which
are
inside
PM2.5
• Don t
do
any
physical

don t
go
running.
Instead
go
aXer
a
rain

or
period
with
strong
wind.

the
Environment
(对环境的影响)
• Dry

25. Economics
and
rela)on
with
the
Environment
• Increase
in
Energy
needs
is
supplied
by
Coal
factories(煤矿厂供应了不断增加的能量需求):
• Burning
Coal
is
a
major
contribu)on
to
Air
Pollu)on
• 70%
of
the
Energy
in
China
is
from
Coal
• Every
7
to
10
days
a
new
Coal
factory
opens
• 30%
of
the
world
(2003)
• Increase
in
traffic
• Increase
in
Agriculture
• All
have
a
big
impact
on
the
environment

26. Why
China
is/was
so
bad?
(为什么中国污染这么严重？)
• Lack
of
Environmental
awareness
for
decades;
– (数十年来缺少环保意识)
• Low
efficiency
of
Coal
factories;
– (煤矿工厂能效利用率低下)
• High-­‐pollu)ng
vehicles;
– (车辆尾气污染严重)
• Economic
growth
more
important
than
the
Environment?
– (经济发展利益高于环境利益)
• But
things
are
changing…
– (然而情况正在改变…….)
