摘      要：Air pollution has been a severe issue in *** to PM_(2.5)has adverse health effects and causes economic *** study investigated the economic impact of exposure to PM_(2.5)pollution using monthly city-level data covering 88.3 million urban employees in 2016 and *** study mainly focused on three expenditure indicators to measure the economic impact considering lower respiratory infections(LRIs),coronary heart disease(CHD),and *** results show that a 10μg/m3 increase in PM_(2.5)would cause total monthly expenses of LRIs,CHD,and stroke to increase by 0.226%,0.237%,and 0.374%,*** also found that LRI,CHD,and stroke hospital admissions increased significantly by 10%,8.42%,and 5.64%,***,the total hospital stays of LRIs,CHDs,and strokes increased by 2.49%,2.51%,and 1.64%,*** findings also suggest heterogeneous impacts of PM2s exposures by sex and across regions,but no statistical evidence shows significant differences between the older and younger adult *** results provide several policy implications for reducing unequal public health expenditures in overpolutedcountries.
