After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
The rapid process of industrialization and FDI in China over the past few years has resulted in degradation in air quality. This paper studies the effect of FDI and air pollution to health in China using the panel data of 30 cities from 2003 to 2006. The results show that FDI and SO2 has significantly positive effect to the mortality, while PM10 and NO2 doesn´t have such significant effect, and there is obvious regional effect with SO2 in eastern region, PM10 and NO2 in middle region, and PM10 in western region has a significant impaction to mortality, so we should do different regional measures to improve the level of health.
