Abstract：Annual average concentrations of PM10 in 113 major Chinese cities and health data for urban residents nationwide in 2006 were collected to evaluate the health impacts of particulate air pollution on urban populations in 113 Chinese cities. The economic loss of heath damage due to particulate air pollution was then roughly estimated. Substantial health loss due to PM10 air pollution in 2006 was observed in these Chinese cities, including 299700 premature deaths, 92600 cases of chronic bronchitis, 7625100 cases of internal outpatients, 165900 and 89000 cases of hospital admissions for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases respectively. It was estimated that the total economic cost of health impact was approximately 341.403 billion Yuan, 87.79% of which was attributable to premature deaths.
