My main research interest is demography and public health study based on Geographical Information System. I am particularly focused on the study of dynamic population estimation model and public health spatiotemporal analysis. I am working with Prof. Peter Bol on the spatial and temporal analysis of China’s Census and physical geographical features during the visit to the CGA, Harvard.

Geographic InquiryGeography is the study of the physical and cultural environments of the earth. What makes geography different from other disciplines is it’s focus on spatial inquiry and analysis. Geographers also try to look for connections between things such as patterns, movement and migration, trends, and so forth. This process is called geographic or spatial inquiry.

What’s Air pollution?• Air pollution is a mixture of natural and
man-made substances in the air we breathe. It is typically separated into two categories: outdoor air pollution (ambient air pollution) and indoor air pollution.
Outdoor air pollution
• Fine particles produced by the burning of fossil fuels
• Noxious gases (sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, chemical vapors, etc.)
• Ground-level ozone • Tobacco Smoke
Indoor air pollution
• Gases (carbon monoxide, radon, etc.)• Household products and chemicals• Building materials (asbestos,
formaldehyde, lead, etc.)• Outdoor indoor allergens (cockroach
and mouse dropping, etc.)• Tobacco smoke• Mold and pollen

Ask-Background
Very high levels of PM2.5 in a broad swath stretching from the Saharan Desert in Northern Africa to Eastern Asia. When compared with maps of population density, it suggests more than 80 percent of the world's population breathe polluted air that exceeds the World Health Organization's recommended level of 10 micrograms per cubic meter.

Air pollution is one of the great killers of our age. Polluted air was responsible in 2015 for 6·4 million deaths worldwide: 2·8 million from household air pollution and 4·2 million from ambient air pollution.

Ask-BackgroundHealth Effects of Air Pollutants
Air-quality indices make pollution seem less bad than it is——The Economist
Official indices also fail to capture patterns of variation within a day. These can be important—and people might be able to modify their behaviourif they understood them.
SMOKING a whole packet of cigarettes in a day once or twice a year would certainly make someone feel ill, but probably would not kill him. Smoking even one cigarette every day for decades, though, might do so. That is the difference between acute and chronic exposure, and it is a difference most people understand. What they may not understand is that the same thing applies to air pollution.

CONCEPTS OF HUMAN EXPOSURE TO AIR POLLUTION (Ott, 1982)
A definition is proposed in which the pollutant must come into contact with the physical boundary of the person. Then, exposure of person i to pollutant concentration c is viewed as two events occurring jointly: person i is present at a particular location, and concentration c is present at the same location.

Census 2010
The latest Sixth National Population Census of the People's Republic of China also known as the 2010 Chinese Census, was used in our analysis. This census revealed an official population for Beijing of 19,612,368.
Its urban area includes six districts (county level): Xicheng, Dongcheng, Haidian, Chaoyang, Shijinshan, and Fengtai. The total urban area comprises 1378 square kilometers with a 2010 census population of 11,683,213.
Acquire- Healthy dataRespiratory Infection Cases Data in Beijing
1057 cases were identified, of which, 917 were considered valid cases with supporting data. Data was entered into an acute respiratory infection data form included the date of diagnosis (Date/Clinic), duration of the illness in days (Duration), date of the respiratory illness onset (Date/Ill), place of residence (Add/Residence), and commuting locale (Add/Work).
Acquire- Healthy dataHospital Admission Data in Shenzhen
Hospital admission data was obtained from the Shenzhen Center for Medical Information. It contains 111,436 total respiratory hospital admission records (from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013) from 98 hospitals spread across the whole city area. These records contain the date of admission, age, gender, and discharge diagnosis from the tenth revision of the international classification of diseases (ICD-10) for each patient.

Number of cumulative exceedance days.
Areas south of Chang An Avenue and east of the Beijing-Chengde expressway seem to be the high risk areas with up to two weeks or more of exceedance days. A large area south of the 4th ring road accumulated 16–18 days during this 37-day monitoring period. In other words, for half of the time or more, the people living there were exposed to excessive PM2.5 pollution.
Human exposure
Analyze- Human exposure and Health effect
Statistically, over the duration of data collection, the cumulative exposed population is 160,561,842 (average daily exposed population is 4,339,509), representing 37.14% of Beijing's cumulative total urban population.The cumulative population exposed to hazardous levels of PM2.5 (AQI level 6) is
12,315,860 (average daily exposed population is 332,861), or 2.85% of the total.
Urban area between the second and fifth ring roads had generally high exposure. In contrast with the accumulated amount of exceedance days, the hotspots of accumulative exposed population were not just the areas to the south and southeast of Beijing; north to Chang An Avenue and west to the Beijing-Chengde expressway, there were also some census units in such hotspots of accumulated exposure.

Spatiotemporal analysis of ambient air pollution exposure and respiratory infections cases in Beijing
Respiratory infections cases 24H 48H 72H
>35μg/m3 288 340 415
>75μg/m3 170 212 249
>115μg/m3 123 120 56
Health effect
With the limited respiratory infections cases,the following conclusions were reached:
When the concentration of PM2.5 was relativelylow (greater than 35 μg/m³ and less than 115μg/m³) for several days, at least three days ofexposure were needed to cause acute respiratorydisease.
When the concentration of PM2.5 was relativelyhigh (greater than 115 μg/m³), only one day ofexposure was needed to cause infection.
These significant findings help define therelationship between PM2.5 exposure durationand concentration of PM2.5 with the developmentof acute respiratory disease.
Analyze- Human exposure and Health effect
Health effect
A Case Study of Shenzhen, China used the Generalized Additive Model (GAM) toreveal the Lag-response relationship between Air Pollution and RR for hospital admission of acute respiratory Infection.
Analyze- Human exposure and Health effect
Evidence from a case study of Shenzhen, China show that: Association between Air Pollution and Population Health Risk for Respiratory Infection are also in terms of gender and age groups.
The RR estimated for acute lower respiratory infection hospitalizations associated with PM2.5 tended to be smaller for females than males.The RR estimated for acute lower respiratory infection hospitalizations associated with PM2.5 tended to be smaller for cohort 15-64 than other group.
