Background: The emergence of a quantity of mega cities accompanying China’s economic boom has led to enormous increases in resource consumption and a variety of pollution especially emissions of air pollutants. Pressure-based government assessment mechanism is the driving force for the transfer of environmental pollution from urban to rural areas. Methods: Descriptive and analytical statistics were used for the data analyses based on a national survey The 3rd Survey on the Status of Chinese Women in 2010 jointly conducted by the All China Women's Federation and the China Statistical Bureau in 2010 and 24741 samples were selected. Results: Among urban residents, 67.21% of them reported their total health was good, 1.35% lower than the rate of rural counterparts; 25.88% reported their total health was general, nearly 3% higher than the rate of rural counterparts; 6.91% reported their total health was poor, 1.63% lower than the rate of rural counterparts. The study also found the rate of urban residents perceiving air pollution (35.67%), water pollution (17.96%), garbage pollution (25.05%), noise pollution (32.05%) was higher than that of rural counterparts, respectively. Perceived air, garbage and noise pollution all had a significantly negative impact on urban residents’ health while none of perceived pollution had a significant impact on rural residents’ health. Conclusions: Rural residents perceived little about impacts of environmental pollution on health, which may create risks and vulnerability of the rural environment and the livelihood of these residents. Great attention should be paid to the impacts of environmental pollution on health for not only urban residents but also rural residents, which will highly improve the support of “green development” among the public in China.
