Abstract
Construction diesel machinery, an important part of the non-road diesel mobile machinery, is a significant source of particulate matter (PM) and other harmful air pollutant emissions. To protect the ecological environment and human health, the Non-road Mobile Diesel Engine Emission Standard for stage IV in China will be implemented at the end of 2022 with the purpose of stricter controls on various emissions. This paper measures the health effects of the standards by evaluating the health benefits from four types of China IV construction machinery for residents in Beijing in 2023 due to the PM2.5 emission reduction. The evaluation results show that the implementation of this stringent standard for non-road diesel mobile machinery has a significant positive effect on the residents’ health. To further develop the effectiveness of this upcoming standard and maximize health benefits, more supporting policies should be taken into consideration to prompt more vehicles to meet the standard provide technical support for manufacturers.
