We leverage the timing of coalmine accidents to examine the effect of coal mining on air pollution. Safety regulations … pollution data at the county-day level with the dates of accidents to show that on average, suspending coal mining reduces local … air pollution by 8%. Changes in the level of coal consumption do not drive this reduction. We also find significant …
