摘要

Driving restrictions is one policy that Beijing enforces to alleviate traffic congestion and air pollution. Based on a before-after comparative research design with general additive models (GAM), we evaluated the effects of Beijing's driving restriction policy on air pollution and public health. The results showed that driving restrictions significantly lowered the risk of hazardous pollution and brought valuable health benefits. Moreover, the health effects of the driving restriction policy were stronger in the cold season, for females and for residents above 65 years old. The findings imply that driving restrictions in Beijing offer substantial environmental and health benefits.
