Public health effect and its economics loss of PM_2.5 pollution from coal consumption in China

China's energy structure is based on coal resource and it accounts for main proportion in the primary energy consumption. Coal consumption produces PM_2.5 pollution, which seriously affects public health. Considering that there are few studies on the effect PM_2.5 pollution produced by coal consumption, this paper uses the Poisson Regression model to estimate the impacts on public health and the economic loss of PM_2.5 pollution produced by coal consumption using the data in 2015. Based on these results, the paper also predicts the impacts on public health effect and its economic loss caused by PM_2.5 pollution from coal consumption under the baseline scenario and total coal consumption control scenario in 2020 and 2030. Finally, based on the research conclusions, suggestions are proposed to reduce the public health economic loss from PM_2.5 pollution caused by coal consumption.
