Thesis (Ph.D.)--Princeton University, 2004.

Population growth, urbanization and economic development are contributing to increased energy consumption in China. One of the unintended consequences is poor air quality due to lack of environmental controls. What's lacking in current policy decision making is an adequate understanding of the link between energy consumption and technologies, air pollution and related environmental impacts. This linkage is necessary for societal costs to be properly incorporated into future energy and environmental policies in China. This thesis examines the extent to which grain production and public health have been compromised due to elevated air pollution and recommends potential energy and air pollution control strategies to minimize potential environmental damages.

520 $a Population growth, urbanization and economic development are contributing to increased energy consumption in China. One of the unintended consequences is poor air quality due to lack of environmental controls. What's lacking in current policy decision making is an adequate understanding of the link between energy consumption and technologies, air pollution and related environmental impacts. This linkage is necessary for societal costs to be properly incorporated into future energy and environmental policies in China. This thesis examines the extent to which grain production and public health have been compromised due to elevated air pollution and recommends potential energy and air pollution control strategies to minimize potential environmental damages.
520 $a China, Japan and South Korea are presently on the cusp of substantial losses of agricultural production. Although crop damages due to air pollution were modest in 1990, crop damages could increase by 30% to 80% in 2020. These countries can achieve substantial increases in future agricultural production through reduction of surface ozone concentrations and/or use of pollution-resistant crop cultivars.
520 $a The total health damages due to year 2000 anthropogenic emissions from Zaozhuang, China accounted for 4--10% of its GDP. If all the health damages resulting from coal use were internalized in the market price of coal, coal prices in 2000 should have been double the actual prices. With no control actions taken between 2000 and 2020, the health damages due to anthropogenic emissions from Zaozhuang are projected to increase by a factor of 4 and to account for 8--16% of Zaozhuang's GDP. End of pipe controls could reduce the potential health damages of anthropogenic emissions from Zaozhuang by 20%, and a coal gasification based polygeneration energy system could reduce the potential health damages of anthropogenic emissions by 50% with only 24% penetration. The environmental costs associated with ozone are small compared to those of particulate-related health benefits. Thus China would benefit more by placing its control focus on particulates and even more by progressively pursuing advanced coal technologies which deals with the root cause of air pollution---coal burning while allowing China to continue to utilize its abundant coal resources.
