Abstract Due to continuous industrial and economic developments, humanity in the world is living a life that requires more energy than ever before. As a result, the environmental burden associated with energy production is also increasing. In particular, the degree of atmospheric environmental load in these days specifically in northeast Asia has been so serious that it affects the daily life of the general public beyond academical interest. High concentrations of ultrafine particles and ozone are the major examples of atmospheric issues we are facing in these day. In this presentation, we will discuss the connection between the energy industry and contemporary air pollution issue through the latest academic knowledge from atmospheric view.
