Abstract The related health burden was calculated by using the surface NO2 data from remote sensing at 0.1 degree during 2007~2020. The relationships between regional developments and health burden were explored using a random effect model. The NO2-related mortality usually occurred in the core economic areas of each province. The NO2 exposure was responsible for 301,873 deaths in 2020. The deaths increased by 23,790 during 2007~2013 and decreased by 80,478 during 2013~2020. The environmental Kuznets curve was found between gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and all-cause deaths. The economic growth will lead to an increase in NO2-related deaths in most cases. The increasing trend slows down for regions with higher GDP per capita. The urbanization follows a linear relationship with increased deaths. The results could provide insight into the sustainable developments for different regions in China.
