This paper studied the health risk of air pollutants SO2, NO2 and PM10 in all the districts and counties of Beijing with exposure-response analysis. Different ecological risk areas based on health risk of air pollutants are recommended in Beijing. The result shows that SO2 and NO2 brought a relatively low health risk, while PM10 brought a relatively high health risk. Air pollutants health risk exists in all the districts and counties of Beijing, and most ecological conservation development zones are low risk areas, while urban functional center zones, urban functional development zones and new urban development zones are mainly in medium risk level.
