The program triggered cascading behavioral changes such as stronger avoidance of outdoor pollution exposure and increased spending on protective products. These behavioral responses mitigated the mortality impact of air pollution. Conservative estimates indicate that the program&rsquo;s health benefits outweigh the costs by an order of magnitude. The findings highlight the benefits of improving public access to pollution information in developing countries which often experience severe air pollution but lack pollution data collection and dissemination.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2013, China launched a landmark program to monitor air quality and disclose real-time data.
