Economic losses due to ozone impacts on human health, forest productivity and crop yield across China
Open accessAbstract
China's economic growth has significantly increased emissions of tropospheric ozone (O 3 ) precursors, resulting in increased regional O 3 pollution. We analyzed data from >1400 monitoring stations and estimated the exposure of population and vegetation (crops and forests) to O 3 pollution across China in 2015. Based on WHO metrics for human health protection, the current O 3 level leads to +0.9% premature mortality (59,844 additional cases a year) with 96% of populated areas showing O 3 –induced premature death. For vegetation, O 3 reduces annual forest tree biomass growth by 11–13% and yield of rice and wheat by 8% and 6%, respectively, relative to conditions below the respective AOT40 critical levels (CL). These CLs are exceeded over 98%, 75% and 83% of the areas of forests, rice and wheat, respectively. Using O 3 exposure–response functions, we evaluated the costs of O 3 -induced losses in rice (7.5 billion US$), wheat (11.1 billion US$) and forest production (52.2 billion US$) and SOMO35–based morbidity for respiratory diseases (690.9 billion US$) and non–accidental mortality (7.5 billion US$), i.e. a total O 3 -related cost representing 7% of the China Gross Domestic Product in 2015.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
