Table 3.

Explanation of the co-coordinate system.

Point distribution Implication
First quadrant Reducing both air pollutants and CO2 emissions.
Second quadrant Reducing air pollutant emissions while increasing CO2 emissions.
Third quadrant Increasing both air pollutants and CO2 emissions.
Forth quadrant Reducing CO2 emissions while increasing air pollutant emissions.
Origin No effect on air pollutants or CO2.
Positive half-axis of horizontal coordinate Reduces CO2 emissions while having no effect on air pollutant emissions.
Negative half-axis of horizontal coordinate Increase CO2 emissions while having no effect on air pollutant emissions.
Positive half-axis of vertical coordinate Reduces air pollutant emissions while having no effect on CO2 emissions.
Negative half-axis of vertical coordinate Increase air pollutant emissions while having no effect on CO2 emissions.
