Incorporating the urban sprawl and its quadratic term into analytical framework of environmental Kuznets curve considers spatial threshold effects pollution, this paper used raster data haze PM2.5 concentrations in 283 cities mainland China to verify non-linear on pollution. It finds that: inter-city spillover effect pollution is significant, holds pollution; there an inversed “U” relationship ...

The environmental Kuznet curve (EKC) hypothesis suggests that at the initial stage of development, as economy grows, environ-mental degradation rises until a turning point is reached whereby pollution and begins to decline while continues grow (it follows an inverted U curve). Is applicable Sri Lanka? What factors are responsible for in This study seeks provide answers these fundamental questio...

The concept of industrial ecology have been applied to local and regional sustainability goals and policies in many countries. To promote the growth of green industry and the formation of a “recycle-oriented society,” the Taiwanese government also launched an ecoindustrial parks project in 2002. This research examines stakeholder perceptions of the environmental science and technology park (EST...

the concept of land use transition highlights that land use change is non-linear and is associated with other societal and biophysical system changes. changes in human systems has resulted in changes in the natural system such as changes in land use. land use change causes not only environmental factors like geography and topography are important, but social factors examined such as population ...

Carbon dioxide causes green house effect and has been considered as a pollutant source forsafe environment. Since combustion of fossil fuel may create tremendous amount of carbon dioxide,detecting any pollutant sources would be important to eliminate the origin of pollution sources.Evaluation of smoke dispersion generated by the power plant utilizing fossil fuel is the objective of thispaper. T...

Cadmium (Cd) pollution is a serious global problem, which causes irreversible toxic effects on animals. Freshwater crab, Sinopotamon henanense, is a useful environmental indicator since it is widely distributed in benthic habitats whereby it tends to accumulate Cd and other toxicants. However, its molecular responses to Cd toxicity remain unclear. In this study, we performed transcriptome seque...

Objective: Metal concentrations in 53 soil samples of Shahr-e-Babak were determined.  Methods: Assessment of enrichment factor and geo-accumulation index revealed higher degree of contamination of Cd, Pb, and Cu in soil samples. Moreover, results of metal fractionation study revealed high amount of Cd and Pb are associated in weakly bounds may lead to environmental risk of these metals.  Result...

Global anthropogenic sulfur emissions increased until the late 1980s. Existing estimates for 1995 and 2000 show a moderate decline from 1990 to 1995 or relative stability throughout the decade. This paper combines previously published data and new econometric estimates to show a 22% decline over the decade to a level not seen since the mid-1960s. The decline is evident in North America, Western...

This paper tests the validity of proximity as an estimate for environmental health hazard exposure, and suggests how it may be used as an indicator in future environmental health and justice research. Using geostatistics and geographic information systems, air pollution monitoring data in Hamilton, Canada are interpolated to obtain local estimates of total suspended particulates. These estimate...

Keeping aside the economic consequences, imposition of strict lockdown in order to break chain deadly infection SARS-CoV-2, has potentially improved global environmental quality by facilitating a significant reduction atmospheric pollution. In present study, level pollutants India viz., NO2, AOD, and PM2.5 before during 2020 were assessed compared using standard methods. The study revealed NO2 ...
