SO2 is the pollutant of concern for Jinan and Chongqing while PM10 is the pollutant getting lowest score for Hangzhou.

Index 2: Highlights ● Clean Air Management Capacity Index is the index with highest index for all the six cities, from good 23.83(Zhaoqing) to excellent 27.31 (Hangzhou). ● The gaps between cities exist due to their differentiated levels of development, local policy variations and disparity in policy enforcement . ● All the cities perform well in identification of mobile and stationary sources emissions, however, gaps remain in the following areas: 1. Identify toxics and harmful pollutants, Pb emission volume estimation and tracing of emission sources; 2. Estimate GHG emission volumes and estimate area sources emissions volumes; 3. Pb exposure monitoring and roadside monitoring station building; 4. Study the relationship between air pollution and tourism; 5. Urban epidemiological studies and studies on health impacts; and 6. Capacity to respond to climate change because environmental protection and climate change are regulated by two separate departments across China.

The scores did not vary significantly from each other, which means these cities have: Majority of key components of clean air management are in place; Policies and actions to reduce emissions from identified major sources need to be enhanced; and Sector-based institutions need to upgrade technical and management capacity.

  • Strongly Heterogeneous Transmission of COVID–19 in Mainland China: Local and Regional Variation

Strongly heterogeneous transmission of COVID–19 in mainland China: local and regional variation Yuke Wang, MSc1, Peter Teunis, PhD1 March 10, 2020 Summary Background The outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) started in the city of Wuhan, China, with a period of rapid initial spread. Transmission on a regional and then national scale was promoted by intense travel during the holiday period of the Chinese New Year. We studied the variation in transmission of COVID-19, locally in Wuhan, as well as on a larger spatial scale, among different cities and even among provinces in mainland China. Methods In addition to reported numbers of new cases, we have been able to assemble detailed contact data for some of the initial clusters of COVID-19. This enabled estimation of the serial interval for clinical cases, as well as reproduction numbers for small and large regions. Findings We estimated the average serial interval was 4·8 days. For early transmission in Wuhan, any infectious case produced as many as four new cases, transmission outside Wuhan was less in- tense, with reproduction numbers below two. During the rapid growth phase of the outbreak the region of Wuhan city acted as a hot spot, generating new cases upon contact, while locally, in other provinces, transmission was low.

  • Impacts of Urbanization on the Ecosystem Services in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, China
    remote sensing Article Impacts of Urbanization on the Ecosystem Services in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, China Xuege Wang 1,2,3, Fengqin Yan 2 and Fenzhen Su 1,2,3,* 1 School of Geography and Ocean Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China; [email protected] 2 State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; [email protected] 3 Collaborative Innovation Center for the South China Sea Studies, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 September 2020; Accepted: 6 October 2020; Published: 8 October 2020 Abstract: Unprecedented urbanization has occurred globally, which has converted substantial natural landscapes into impervious surfaces and further impacted ecosystem services and functioning. In this study, we quantified the spatiotemporal patterns of urbanization and investigated the impacts of urbanization on the ecosystem service value (ESV) in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) of China from 1980 to 2018. The results show that the GBA has experienced extensive urbanization, with the urban area increasing from 2607.4 to 8243.5 km2 from 1980 to 2018. Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Shenzhen, and Foshan exhibited the top five highest urban expansion rates. Throughout the study period, edge expansion was the most dominant growth mode, with a decreasing trend, while infilling increased in the GBA. The total ESV loss induced by urban expansion in the GBA reached 40.5 billion yuan over the past four decades. The ESV loss due to the water body decrease caused by urbanization was the largest.

  • Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of 2014 Dengue Outbreak
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of 2014 Dengue Outbreak in Guangdong, China Received: 23 August 2017 Mattia Sanna 1, Jianyong Wu2,3,4,5, Yanshan Zhu2,3,4,5, Zhicong Yang6, Jiahai Lu2,3,4,5 & Accepted: 22 December 2017 Ying-Hen Hsieh1,7 Published: xx xx xxxx The record-breaking number of dengue cases reported in Guangdong, China in 2014 has been topic for many studies. However, the spatial and temporal characteristics of this unexpectedly explosive outbreak are still poorly understood. We adopt an integrated approach to ascertain the spatial- temporal progression of the outbreak in each city in Guangdong as well as in each district in Guangzhou, where the majority of cases occurred. We utilize the Richards model, which determines the waves of reported cases at each location and identifes the turning point for each wave, in combination with a spatial association analysis conducted by computing the standardized G* statistic that measures the degree of spatial autocorrelation of a set of geo-referenced data from a local perspective. We found that Yuexiu district in Guangzhou was the initial hot spot for the outbreak, subsequently spreading to its neighboring districts in Guangzhou and other cities in Guangdong province. Hospital isolation of cases during early stage of outbreak in neighboring Zhongshan (in efort to prevent disease transmission to the vectors) might have played an important role in the timely mitigation of the disease. Integration of modeling approach and spatial association analysis allows us to pinpoint waves that spread the disease to communities beyond the borders of the initially afected regions.
