摘要近几十年来,煤炭为中国的快速增长提供了动力,但它也严重污染了空气,导致了许多健康问题。空气污染造成的健康损害的程度取决于排放源的位置。在本文中,我们调查了中国的主要排放源--燃煤电厂的空间分布,并调查了分布背后的决定因素。我们发现,驱动因素是经济发展和电网复盖范围的扩大,后者在欠发达但煤炭资源丰富的省份起着关键作用。这表明了一种在不损害经济的情况下减少空气污染对健康损害的方法:通过发展跨省电力贸易和电网覆盖,将燃煤电厂吸引到人口较少的地区。
Abstract Coal has fueled China's rapid growth in recent decades, but it also severely pollutes the air and causes many health issues. The magnitude of the health damage caused by air pollution depends on the location of emission sources. In this paper, we look into the spatial distribution of coal-fired power plants, which are the major emission sources in China, and investigate the determining factors behind the distribution. We find that the driving factors are economic development and expansion of electricity grid coverage; the latter factor plays a key role in provinces that are less developed but have abundant coal resources. This suggests a way to reduce health damages caused by air pollution without harming the economy: attracting coal-fired plants to less populated areas by developing trans-province electricity trade and grid coverage.
