Abstract

Air pollution has been introduced as one of the important issues and concerns of today's human societies. Its impact on the economy and human health is very important and necessary. Epidemiological research shows that air pollutants can lead to cardiovascular diseases and ultimately heart attacks. The current research focuses on the principle that the use of renewable energy sources can help improve air quality and mortality caused by air pollution. In this research, the quantile regression method has been used for the data of RCEP member countries in the period from 2018 to 1996. The results show that in all quantiles, renewable energy is significant and negative, which can finally be concluded that the use of renewable energy in the management of air pollutants helps to reduce mortality and improve air quality. The results also show that an increase in GDP can lead to a decrease in deaths caused by air pollution; While the emission of CO2 and the rate of urbanization increases the mortality caused by air pollution.
