Attribution of Elevated Indoor CO2 Levels to Household Energy Consumption

It has been concerned that elevated CO2 exposure may adversely affect human health. In many low- and middle-income countries where fossil-based solid fuels are widely used household energies, the burning produces large amounts of CO2 indoors, that has received relatively little attention. Here, a large-scale multireg...

Synergistic yet divergent climate effects of wind and solar energy in China toward carbon neutrality

Wind and solar energy help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contribute to changes in global atmospheric circulations by altering the underlying surface albedo. However, the displacement of fossil fuel combustion not only reduces CO2 but also decreases scattering aerosols and their precursor emissions, yielding...

China’s Clean Heating Policy and Effects on Blood Pressure in Rural Beijing Adults

Large-scale residential energy transitions from solid fuel to clean energy are promising strategies to mitigate climate change and improve population health, but rigorous evaluation of their impacts is rare. China’s Clean Heating Policy (CHP) aimed to transition tens of millions of households from coal to electric an...
