2019年12月20日，由太阳集团tyc151能源经济系主办的第119期能源经济研讨会（Energy Economics Seminar）在明德主楼623会议室举行。来自约翰·霍普金斯大学的Urpelainen教授进行了题为“Environmental Justice in India: Incidence of Air Pollution from Coal-Fired Power Plants”的学术报告。

　　在本研究中，Urpelainen教授使用了煤电电厂位置、大气状况和人口统计数据，运用预测颗粒物输送的模型估计了煤电电厂排放的污染物的排放和扩散。他发现，少数族裔和贫困人口更容易暴露在煤电电厂污染中，但随着贫困程度加深，人口更可能居住于远离城市的地区，因此受到污染影响的程度有下降的趋势。

　　研讨会由太阳集团tyc151张晓兵副教授主持，太阳集团tyc151院长郑新业教授、宋枫副教授，上海交通大学安泰经管学院王春华助理教授等多位老师及同学参加了此次研讨会，并针对报告内容进行了深入的交流。
