ABSTRACT
This research provides a general review of the photochemical smog status in Beijing. Most of its
primary pollutants come from vehicle emissions for transport and fuel combustions for industrial
and domestic energy uses. Due to the limited data, the scope of health impact is extended to
China, and it has been found that high ground-level ozone exposures lead to higher morbidity
and mortality for both cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. The environmental
consequences in Beijing are characterized by vegetation impairs. Particularly, crop damage
could lead to economic losses.
