چکیده
This manuscript investigates the effect of atmospheric transport and trade on air pollution mortality in China. The topic is interesting and important. The approach is new and robust. The paper presents a good interdisciplinary study and is written. A few minor correction may need to be made. 1. Abstract: “33% of China’s air pollution deaths. . .”, it is suggested to provide the number of premature deaths besides the percentage. 2. ðİŘű0 is the counterfactual concentration in equation (1). The authors should declare the value of ðİŘű0 adopted in this study. 3. China also imports intermediate and finished goods from other regions. The authors should describe the calculation of international imports in methods.

Atmospheric mercury can be considered a ‘hot topic’. The problem of global mercury pollution is a focus of several international conventions such as the UNEP mercury program and the UN-ECE Long-Range Transport of Atmospheric Pollution Convention Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air pollution (HTAP). Major scientific questions are the oxidization processes of elemental mercury, global and ...
