Air pollutants do not discriminate between the rich and the poor, the politician and the "average Joe." They put everyone's health and economic prosperity at risk, creating future costs that are difficult to calculate. Yet many people, including some in China, are concerned that addressing environmental challenges will jeopardize economic growth. In The Economics of Air Pollution in China, leading Chinese economist Ma Jun makes the case that the trade-off between growth and environment is not inevitable. In his ambitious proposal to tackle severe air pollution and drastically reduce the level of so-called PM 2.5 particles-microscopic pollutants that lodge deeply in lungs-Ma Jun argues that in targeting pollution, China has a real opportunity to undertake significant structural economic reforms that would support long-term growth. Rooted in rigorous analyses and evidence-based projections, Ma Jun's "big bang" proposal aims to mitigate pollution and facilitate a transition to a greener and more sustainable growth model. 606 $aAir$xPollution$xEconomic aspects$zChina 606 $aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects$zChina 606 $aEnvironmental policy$xEconomic aspects$zChina 606 $aSustainable development$zChina 615 0$aAir$xPollution$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a363.739/20951 700 $aMa$b Jun$f1964-$01503775 702 $aMa$b Damien 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798890803321 996 $aThe economics of air pollution in China$93732380 997 $aUNINA
