在揭示中国能源消费的环境影响的基础上,利用因子分析方法对1990~2005年间中国环境质量与公众健康的总体水平进行了评价,并对环境质量与公众健康的作用进行了实证研究。研究结果表明,环境质量与公众健康状况具有相似的波动性协同变化趋势,环境质量及其构成要素对公众健康存在单向因果关系。调整能源结构,促进能源消费结构的“绿色化”;加强能源消费的健康风险识别,全面实施污染物综合消减;运用市场化手段促进能源消费环境成本内部化仍然是控制污染物质的排放、改善中国环境质量与提高公众健康水平的重要途径。
The effects of energy consumption on the environment in china were explored. Whole levels of the environment quality and public health in China from 1990 to 2005 were evaluated by factor analysis and the relationship between the both sides was studied empirically. The results show that the environment quality and public health have similar undulate collaborative evolution trend. The environment quality and its inscapes have one-way causal relationship to public health. Proposed are some policy recommendations, including adjusting the energy structure, promoting the energy consumption structure trends to be "green", strengthen the health risk identification of energy consumption, entirely implementing the pollution comprehensive abatement and adopting marketable methods to promote energy consumption internalization of environmental costs, to improve our envi ronment quality and public health.
