Notes: Each dependent variable represents annual average concentration (ppb or μg/m3). The mean values of the dependent variables in regulated areas in the pre-intervention period are reported in brackets. The meteorological control variables include the number of days with rainfall of over 1 mm, the number of days with a maximum wind speed of over 10 m/s, and the percentage of sunshine hours in a year. ***, **, and * represent statistical significance at the 1%, 5%, and 10% levels, respectively. Standard errors clustered at the monitoring station level are in parentheses.
