Abstract

At present, air pollution remains a serious environmental issue with extensive attention in China. It may not only cause population outflow but also poses significant threats to residents’ health. Therefore, it has become an imperative initiative to explore the impact of air pollution on the residents’ health. In this paper, we map the spatial distribution of air pollution, population migration, and residents’ health between 2010 and 2020 based on panel data from 31 Chinese provinces. Theoretical analysis and empirical tests are then carried out to investigate the intrinsic logical relationships between the three. The research findings demonstrate the following: (1) Air pollution not only has a direct negative impact on residents’ health, but it also has an indirect impact on residents’ health through the mediating effect of population migration. (2) Air pollution has a significant negative spatial spillover effect on residents’ health, and neighboring residents are at greater health risk of being exposed to air pollution than local residents. (3) Economic development, environmental regulation, and their interaction term exhibit a single threshold effect on the health risk of air pollution. (4) From the perspective of regional heterogeneity, we find that the health risk of air pollution is greater in northern China and the southeast of the Hu Line. This paper provides valuable insights for promoting the implementation of the grand strategies of “Beautiful China” and “Healthy China.”

中国空气污染对居民健康的影响:人口迁移的中介效应
目前,空气污染仍是中国广泛关注的严重环境问题。它不仅会造成人口外流,还会对居民健康造成重大威胁。因此,探讨空气污染对居民健康的影响已成为当务之急。本文基于中国 31 个省份的面板数据,绘制了 2010 年至 2020 年空气污染、人口迁移和居民健康的空间分布图。然后进行理论分析和实证检验,探究三者之间的内在逻辑关系。研究结果表明(1)空气污染不仅对居民健康产生直接的负面影响,而且通过人口迁移的中介效应对居民健康产生间接影响。(2)空气污染对居民健康具有显著的空间负溢出效应,相邻居民暴露于空气污染的健康风险大于本地居民。(3)经济发展、环境规制及其交互项对空气污染的健康风险表现出单一的阈值效应。(4)从区域异质性的角度,我们发现华北地区和沪宁线东南部地区的空气污染健康风险更大。本文为推动 "美丽中国 "和 "健康中国 "宏伟战略的实施提供了有价值的启示。

期刊介绍: Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health is a multidisciplinary journal which, by its very name, illustrates the broad range of work it publishes and which focuses on atmospheric consequences of human activities and their implications for human and ecological health. It offers research papers, critical literature reviews and commentaries, as well as special issues devoted to topical subjects or themes. International in scope, the journal presents papers that inform and stimulate a global readership, as the topic addressed are global in their import. Consequently, we do not encourage submission of papers involving local data that relate to local problems. Unless they demonstrate wide applicability, these are better submitted to national or regional journals. Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health addresses such topics as acid precipitation; airborne particulate matter; air quality monitoring and management; exposure assessment; risk assessment; indoor air quality; atmospheric chemistry; atmospheric modeling and prediction; air pollution climatology; climate change and air quality; air pollution measurement; atmospheric impact assessment; forest-fire emissions; atmospheric science; greenhouse gases; health and ecological effects; clean air technology; regional and global change and satellite measurements. This journal benefits a diverse audience of researchers, public health officials and policy makers addressing problems that call for solutions based in evidence from atmospheric and exposure assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and risk assessors. Publication in the journal affords the opportunity to reach beyond defined disciplinary niches to this broader readership.
