Air pollution, particularly PM2.5 pollution, has been a pressing issue in Shijiazhuang, a city in Hebei Province, China, characterized by high levels of PM2.5 concentration over the past years. This research paper delineates the historical trends and various factors influencing PM2.5 concentration in Shijiazhuang, including meteorological, geographical, and human factors. The paper further explores a range of strategies to mitigate PM2.5 pollution, focusing on policy interventions and technological solutions. Policy interventions encompass stricter emission standards for industries, promotion of green transportation, and sustainable agricultural practices. Technological solutions highlight the introduction of air purifiers in public spaces, development of cleaner industrial technologies, and the promotion of electric vehicles and public transportation systems. Grounded in recent research findings, the paper offers a comprehensive approach to reducing PM2.5 environmental pollution in Shijiazhuang, aiming to foster a healthier and more sustainable habitat for its residents.
