Larger reduction in VCDs of gaseous pollutants is detected in areas with relatively
high pollution levels including Eastern China and the PRD region. The result
indicates that the challenges of air quality improvement in China have been
expanding to less-developed regions and that the conditions in those areas should
be strongly stressed by the future national strategy of air pollution control. Transportation is expected to play an increasingly important role in regional air pollution,
with the emissions from stationary sources gradually controlled.
