Abstract

What is already known about this topic?

Residential air pollution can cause a large disease burden, and residential air quality is directly influenced by residential fine particulate matter (PM_2.5). Residential PM_2.5 pollution is of critical concern in China given that the characteristics and influencing factors of residential PM_2.5 in China are not clear.

What is added by this report?

This study focuseed on residential PM_2.5 concentration of 12 cities with the on-site investigation in 2018, and provided the latest characteristics and potential influencing factors of residential PM_2.5 under general living scenarios in China.

What are the implications for public health practice?

This study suggested that the control of residential PM_2.5 pollution should be reinforced with revised indoor air quality standards under obvious spatial diversity.
