Since 2013, China has made remarkable achievements in air pollution control. However, PM2.5 pollution remains severe, with annual average concentrations still more than six times higher than the World Health Organization guideline value, posing serious risks to public health. As population aging continues to intensify, air pollution will pose an even greater threat to vulnerable…

Under the constraints of carbon neutrality targets, profound technological transformation will fundamentally reshape current socioeconomic and industrial structures. Human activities are expected to undergo major changes in the coming decades, leading to fundamental shifts in the quantities and structures of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions. Changes in energy systems, industrial layouts, and emissions will…

The CleanAir Model is designed to rapidly simulate PM2.5 concentrations based on emission reduction scenarios. Users can select a baseline emission inventory and meteorological fields, and then define emission reduction scenarios across multiple dimensions, including regions, sectors, and species. Based on these settings, the model simulates PM2.5 and component concentrations, which can be viewed online…

The Cost–Benefit Assessment Module includes submodules for emission reduction cost accounting, climate effect assessment, health effect assessment, and resource effect assessment. Its main function is to estimate emission reduction costs, climate effects, health effects, and resource effects under different emission pathways, and to evaluate their overall costs and benefits. The Cost–Benefit Assessment Module uses the…

The main function of the Pollution Exposure Simulation Module is to simulate atmospheric pollutant concentrations and population exposure levels under different future scenarios. This module mainly consists of two components: a climate–chemistry interaction assessment system and an atmospheric chemistry simulation system. Based on future atmospheric species emissions provided by the Emission Pathway Simulation Module, the…
