Abstract
Global urban air quality and human health are under significant threat from air pollution. China, with its successful “Clean Air Act,” offers valuable expertise in mitigating air pollution over the past decade. The Belt and Road countries in the Indochina Peninsula confront severe air pollution from sources such as biomass burning. This pollution interacts with organic volatiles emitted from the Southeast Asian tropical forests, impacting the ecosystem and climate in the region. China is actively promoting the Belt and Road South-South Cooperation Initiative on climate change. The time has come for China to share its expertise in air pollution mitigation to the Belt and Road countries, with emphases on talent development, technical service export, and intergovernmental research cooperation. This initiative not only reduces cross-border air pollution transmission but also benefits local health in the broader Indochina region.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
