This article systematically reviews the significant progress China has made in the field of air pollution health risk assessment since 2013, including the establishment of the national monitoring network, the improvement of relevant laws and formulation of technical guidelines. The paper focuses on an in-depth discussion of the current core challenges: the disconnection between health risk and decision-making, the lack of a multi-sectoral coordination mechanism, the imperfection of the technical system (particularly for mixed exposures and emerging pollutants), and the novel risks posed by global climate change. Based on this analysis, we prospectively propose fundamental pathways to advance the field: 1) constructing a robust management mechanism and coordination framework; 2) promoting the integration of the full environmental health risk assessment process into the decision-making pipeline (an "assessment-management interaction" paradigm); and 3) strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration and leveraging innovative technologies to refine the technical assessment system.
本文系统回顾了自2013年以来中国在空气污染健康风险评估领域取得的重大进展，包括国家监测网络的建立、相关法律的完善以及技术指南的制定。本文重点深入讨论了当前的核心挑战：健康风险与决策脱节、缺乏多部门协调机制、技术体系不完善（特别是对于混合暴露和新兴污染物）以及全球气候变化带来的新风险。基于此分析，我们前瞻性地提出推动该领域发展的基本途径：1）构建强有力的管理机制和协调框架；2）促进将整个环境健康风险评估过程纳入决策流程（“评估-管理互动”范式）；3）加强跨学科合作并利用创新技术完善技术评估体系。
