Overview of air pollution in typical basin of China under the target of carbon neutrality

Sichuan Basin (SCB) is a typical basin in southwest China and a traditional smog-prone area. Control of air pollution in this area is particularly critical in achieving China’s carbon emission peak and carbon neutral goals. It is characterized by high population density, heavy transportation, rapid...

Control of air pollution in this area is particularly critical in achieving China’s carbon emission peak and carbon neutral goals. It is characterized by high population density, heavy transportation, rapid industrialization, complex topography, and meteorological conditions.
