The mechanism-specific injury mortality burden associated with heatwave in China in a warming world Open
Numerous studies have investigated the impact of heatwaves on non-accidental mortality, yet the association and burden of heatwaves on mechanism-specific injury mortality remain underexplored. This study collected 257,267 injury-related fa…

Projecting future minimum mortality temperature in China Open
Minimum mortality temperature (MMT) increases with global warming due to climate adaptation, which is crucial for the precise assessment of mortality burden attributed to climate change. Nevertheless, forecasting future MMT poses a challen…

The trends of non-accidental mortality burden attributed to compound hot-dry events in China and its provinces in a global warming world Open
CHDEs would significantly increase mortality with higher risk for females, the elderly and people living in humid areas. Mortality burden has significantly increased during historical observation and will keep relatively steady since mid-2…

The association between long-term exposure to ambient formaldehyde and respiratory mortality risk: A national study in China Open
This study suggested that long-term HCHO exposure may significantly increase the risk of RESP mortality, leading to a substantial mortality burden. Targeted measures should be implemented to control ambient HCHO pollution promptly.
