Abstract

The situation of PM2.5 pollution in China is serious at present. Among 74 cities starting PM2.5 monitoring in 2013, about 92% cities have PM2.5 concentrations exceeding the state standard limit value. The most polluted areas in China are the Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei region, Yangtze River Delta region and the Pearl River Delta region. Some poisonous species contained in PM2.5 may have a direct influence on human health. Some research results indicate that diseases such as respiratory system and cardiovascular system are evidently affected by PM2.5 pollution. Moreover, PM2.5 concentration and chemical composition are directly related to lung cancer. Therefore, some key problems, like PM2.5 toxicology, exposure-response relationship and so on, should be further studied, and the health risk assessment on PM2.5 pollution must be strengthened as well.

Key words： air pollution; PM2.5; health; lung cancer
