Ambient exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in eastern China, a densely populated region with very high-level PM2.5 pollution, has attracted great concern from the public, government, and scientific community. By taking advantage of advanced statistical methods and a high-resolution PM2.5 dataset, this study explicitly investigated the spatiotemporal changes in PM2.5 in eastern China from 2001 to 2018 at multiple spatial and temporal scales and examined its links with natural and socioeconomic factors to explore their effects on PM2.5 changes. This study found that the PM2.5 concentration in most of eastern China declined recently, while most of the discernable decreasing trends occurred in the southern and western areas of the study domain, and the statistically significant increasing trends were primarily in the North China Plain. The influencing factors analysis found that, among the selected four natural and five anthropogenic factors, temperature, and population density exerted more potent effects than the other influencing factors, and all the influencing factors were found to impose complex effects on the PM2.5 concentration over space and time. Our study draws a complete picture of the changes in PM2.5 and its possible influences, which could guide future actions to mitigate PM2.5 pollution in eastern China.
