China, which has resulted in serious local air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Because both carbon dioxide (CO₂) and air pollutant emissions mainly stem from fossil energy use, a co-control strategy is simulated and compared with single control in China, using an integrated assessment model ...

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD), the leading cause of death globally, might be developed or exacerbated by air pollution, resulting high burden to patients. To date, limited studies have estimated the relations between short-term exposure to air pollution and CHD disease burden in China,...

Background: Exposure to ambient air pollution is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) may mediate cardiovascular effects of exposure to air pollution. This study aims to investigate whether circulating miRNAs mediate the associations...

Ozonation process has been widely applied in water and wastewater treatment, such as for disinfection, for degradation of toxic organic pollutants. However, the utilization efficiency of ozone is low and the mineralization of organic pollutants by ozone oxidation is ineffective, and some toxic...

Air pollution remains one of the major health threats around the world. Compared to adults, foetuses and infants are more vulnerable to the effects of environmental toxins. Maternal exposure to air pollution causes several adverse birth outcomes and may lead to life-long health consequences. Given...

Natural vegetation has been proved to promote water purification in previous studies, while the relevant laws has not been excavated systematically. This research explored the relationships between vegetation cover and water quality indexes in Liaohe River Basin in China combined with...

The toxic effects of micro(nano)plastics are long-standing, flourishing and fadeless as a research topic because of its' underlying threats to the ecology and human health. Nevertheless, in most of the existing studies, some model organisms are exposed to micro(nano)plastics at a high concentration ...

The rising level of environmental pollution in China indicates that the current pattern of economic development is unsustainable. Therefore, ensuring environmental quality places higher requirements on China's economic development pattern from the perspective of sustainability. At the same time,...

With the increasing shortage of land resources, countries around the world gradually develop and use marine resources. Therefore, the marine economy has gradually become an important pillar of our national economy, which will gradually expand the scale of marine resources development. With the...

In order to select the atmospheric environment hotspot grids in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding regions, the monthly haze days and mass concentrations of the PM_2.5, NO₂, SO₂ were retrieved using satellite observation. Based on the retrieved results of these four items, firstly, the...
