Abstract:
With the rapid economic growth and the development of transportation in China in recent two decades, the number of motor vehicles in China keeps increasing at an annual rate of approximately 13%. The air pollution related to traffic has become the focus of attention and the air pollution pattern in some large cities in China has been shifting from the coal-burning pollution to that mainly from the traffic. The traffic pollution deteriorates the environment and has been related to an increased risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in the population. The state of automobile exhaust pollution and the related health effect in the urban areas of China was discussed in the present paper.
