Abstract
China promulgated its 2013 Action Plan of Air Pollution Prevention and Control in order to remediate the heavily polluted atmosphere. To evaluate the effect of this nationwide policy, a statistical model was developed using ground measurements of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration, satellite retrieved Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), meteorological factors and land cover parameters in northern China between 2013 and 2014. Model predictions suggested that the policy implementation has accounted for 35% or 48% of the total reduction in annual average PM2.5 concentrations, based on different scenarios of policy implementation. As data required to develop this model are generally accessible in most cities of China, this model can be applied as a convenient tool to evaluate Chinese air pollution policies.
