Finally, modeling of exposures from various particulate matter sources shows that residential heating, cooking and environmental tobacco smoking are the most important sources of both individual and population exposure to particulate matter, producing exposures that are at least one order of magnitude higher than those from on-road vehicles and power stations. This suggests that exposure-based environmental regulation has significant potential to improve the efficiency of particulate matter management.

This suggests that exposure-based environmental regulation has significant potential to improve the efficiency of particulate matter management.
520 # $a First, this study finds that the reward structure within China's top-down bureaucratic system motivates local officials to devote most of their effort and resources to fulfilling targets set by upper-levels of government in a way that can best serve their bureaucratic goals.
520 # $a Second, this study finds that Chinese cities began to implement particulate matter control programs at per capita GDP levels of &sim;80 U.S. dollars. This very low threshold for environmental action is related to the considerable authority wielded by the central government during the early decades (1970s and 80s) of environmental protection.
520 # $a This dissertation advances understanding of local air pollution management in China through both descriptive and prescriptive analyses. A series of interviews with local officials in five case-study cities has provided new data on the forces that drive the implementation of air pollution control policies at the local level, and how these forces have evolved as China continues its transition to a market economy. Models of the costs and benefits of several key air pollution programs in the case-study cities provide a measure of China's willingness-to-pay to avoid air pollution damages. Finally, an analysis of alternative policy instruments for managing particulate matter explores the potential benefits of controlling human exposure rather than ambient concentration. These analyses are conducted in an integrated framework incorporating energy and environmental engineering, economics, public health and political theory. Four main conclusions are drawn.

This analysis finds that the cost-effectiveness of these programs ranges from
