中国石炭火力発電所の環境効率性向上に伴う早期死亡者数削減ポテンシャル

To effectively mitigate the number of premature deaths due to PM2.5 emissions from coal power plants in China, it is important not only to estimate the current number of premature deaths, but to estimate the potential for mitigating premature deaths. This study proposed a new integrated research framework that combines data envelopment analysis, chemical transport simulation, and health impact assessment to estimate the potential of premature death mitigation. Our empirical analysis revealed that there was significant premature death mitigation potential around Chengdu City, and that priority should be given to improving the environmental efficiency of power plants in this area.
