Himalayan Journal of Sociology & Anthropology-Vol. III Pollution of Seti River in Pokhara An Anthropological Perspective Amrit Kumar Bhandari Abstract Seti River is one of important components of the ecology of Pokhara so it holds a great significance for maintaining ecological balance and fulfilling different types of needs of people here. But only a few people are aware of its real value whil...

Abstract Environmental policies are characterized by salient short-term costs and long-term benefits that difficult to observe attribute the government's efforts. These characteristics imply citizens’ support for environmental is highly dependent on their trust in capability implement solutions commitment investments those policies. Using novel survey data from Mexico City, we show government p...

Limited data suggest that outdoor air pollution (such as ambient air pollution or traffic-related air pollution) and indoor air pollution (such as second-hand smoking and biomass fuel combustion exposure) are associated with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but there is insufficient evidence to prove a causal relationship at this stage. It also appears that outdo...

The health effects of air pollution include increases in Air pollution on Pdient visits in &be 1 severity and incidence of asthma. exacerbation of COPD. increase California faces both increasing air temperatures as well as air pollution. This conclusion is being drawn by many non-scientists who simply observe daily atmospheric conditions: more hot days exist in many areas of California and many...

There are increasing concerns regarding the delivery, movement and presence of non-indigenous or invasive species into marine and estuarine areas. Such introductions can be on a large scale such as the movement to higher latitudes of species as the result of global warming. Alternatively, such species can be introduced into a marine or estuarine area as the result of small-scale events, such as...

In this paper, we propose a simplified pollution adaptive mesh generation algorithm using singular elements. The algorithm based on the element pollution error indicator concentrate on boundary nodes. The automatic mesh generation method is fo llowed by either a node-relocation or a node-insertion method. The boundary node relocation phase is introduced to reduce pollution error estimates witho...

BACKGROUND The invasion of habitats by non-indigenous species (NIS) occurs at a global scale and can generate significant ecological, evolutionary, economic and social consequences. Estuarine and coastal ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to pollution from numerous sources due to years of human-induced degradation and shipping. Pollution is considered as a class of disturbance with anthropo...

We analyse the interdependence between green attitude and equilibrium development of environmental quality in an endogenous growth model. Individuals take only part of their impact on pollution into account, hence there is a negative externality of capital accumulation on environmental quality. Increasing wealth or increasing pollution enhance green attitude and reduce the externality, because ...
