Air pollution is more than an environmental or health issue. Our findings suggest that Chinese citizens exposed to more industrial sulfur dioxide (SO) and dust emissions are less likely to be satisfied with environmental administration. Chinese citizens living with poorer air quality also tend to be dissatisfied with law enforcement. Last, perceptions of air pollution are affected by measured industrial emissions and shape citizen satisfaction. In sum, this paper provides evidence that air pollution corrodes citizen satisfaction via environmental perceptions. This improves understanding of the political costs of environmental degradation and the underlying mechanism.
空气污染不仅仅是一个环境或健康问题。我们的研究结果表明，暴露于更多工业二氧化硫（SO）和粉尘排放的中国公民不太可能对环境管理感到满意。空气质量较差的中国公民也往往对执法不满。最后，对空气污染的看法受到工业排放量的影响，并影响公民的满意度。总之，本文提供了证据表明，空气污染通过环境认知来腐蚀公民满意度。这提高了对环境退化的政治成本和潜在机制的理解。
