Clean Air Scorecard Helps Clear the Air in the People's Republic of China

Joshi, Vijay; Fu, Lu; Ajero, May | November 2013
Abstract
Air pollution has reached alarming levels in the People's Republic of China. In some cities, air pollution indices have reached 500, the highest level set by the country. ADB's application of the clean air scorecard in the Hangzhou and Jinan of the People's Republic of China (PRC) enabled the cities to assess and address their air pollution problems and spurred replication in other Asian cities.
