Literature has reported that outdoor air pollution leads to adverse health problems every year in China. Recent measurement studies found the important regional nature of particulates in China. Trans-boundary air pollution within China has yet to be fully understood. This study aimed to comprehensively understand the processes of domestic trans-boundary air pollution in China and to apportion the impacts of emissions in different regions on air quality and public health. We applied a state-of-the-art air quality model to simulate air quality in China and then adapted a form of integrated concentration-response function for China to estimate the resultant amount of premature mortality due to exposures to PM<sub>2.5</sub>. Our findings show that domestic trans-boundary impacts (TBI), on average, account for 27% of the total PM<sub>2.5</sub> in China. We estimated that outdoor air pollution caused ~870,000 (95% CI: 130,000-1500,000) premature mortalities in China in 2010, of which on average 18% are attributed to TBI. Among all the regions, North China is the largest contributor to TBI due to 41% of the health impacts of its emissions occurring in other regions. Taiwan (TW) is the smallest contributor to TBI occurring in China, contributing 2% of the national TBI, while TBI causes 22% of the premature mortalities due to outdoor air pollution in TW. Our findings pinpoint the significant impacts of TBI on public health in China, indicating the need for cross-region cooperation to mitigate the air quality impacts and the nation's resultant health problems.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":4.804021044733257,"endowment":4.804021044733257,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"27613002","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2512873846","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"Competitiveness in Hiring New Faculties Fund","grant_id":"2013/14","title":null},{"funder_name":"Vice-Chancellor's Discretionary Fund","grant_id":"4930744","title":null},{"funder_name":"Early Career Scheme of Research Grants Council of Hong Kong","grant_id":"2191086","title":null}],"total_grants":3,"fwci":8.2411,"citation_percentile":0.98340584,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":2},{"year":2018,"count":21},{"year":2019,"count":18},{"year":2020,"count":22},{"year":2021,"count":21},{"year":2022,"count":14},{"year":2023,"count":8},{"year":2024,"count":7},{"year":2025,"count":4},{"year":2026,"count":3}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/tdm/userlicense/1.0/","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S016041201630294X?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S016041201630294X?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2016.08.004","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27613002","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://doaj.org/article/9bbc8218fd4b4c2598b08a0186fc72e3","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Air Quality and Health Impacts","Vehicle emissions and performance","Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols","Air Pollutants","Air Pollution","China","Humans","Models, Theoretical","Mortality","Particulate Matter","Public Health","Taiwan"],"mesh_terms":["Air Pollutants","Air Pollution","China","Humans","Models, Theoretical","Mortality","Public Health","Taiwan","Particulate Matter"],"keywords":["China","Air quality index","Air pollution","Pollution","Environmental health","Environmental science","Public health","Particulates","Environmental protection","Geography","Meteorology","Medicine","Ecology","Biology","Health impact","Air Quality Model","Concentration-response Function","Trans-boundary Air Pollution"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-28T12:57:07.155604Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
