Environmental risk factors have been implicated in adverse health effects. Previous epidemiological studies on environmental risk factors mainly analyzed the impact of single pollutant exposure on health, while in fact, humans are constantly exposed to a complex mixture consisted of multiple ...

It is meaningful to study how China can maintain the sustainable utilization of natural resources and the continuous improvement of environmental conditions while ensuring the stable development of the economy and society. In this study, a new indices system was proposed for the analysis of nexus...

Background: Air pollution is one source of harm to the health of residents, and the impact of air pollution on health expenditure has become a hot topic worldwide. However, few studies aim at the spatial spillover effects of air pollution on the health expenditure of rural residents (HE-RR),...

The preparation of adsorbents with eco-friendly and high-efficiency characteristics is an important approach for pollutant removal, and can relieve the pressure of water shortage and environmental pollution. In recent studies, much attention has been paid to the potential of hydrothermal...

Differences in leaf surface microstructure characteristics can lead to differences in the ability of trees to capture suspended particulate matter (PM). The influence of changes in leaf surface microstructure caused by growth and environmental pollution on the PM capture ability is poorly...

Biochar has shown large potential in environmental remediation because of its low cost, large specific surface area, porosity, and high conductivity. Biochar-assisted advanced oxidation processes (BC-AOPs) have recently attracted increasing attention to the remediation of organic pollutants from...

Air pollution is very harmful to the industrial production and public health. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the air pollution and release air quality levels to provide guidance for public production and life. In most previous studies, pollutant data were directly used for predictions, which ...

Soil pollution has become an important environmental issue worldwide. Various pollutants in soils may harm human health through the food chain. At present, the commonly used remediated methods mainly include thermal treatment, electrokinetic remediation, stabilization/solidification, soil washing,...

Background: Urban environmental air pollution has become a serious public issue in China. However, the potential adverse effects of different air pollutants on liver function are still unclear. We aimed to explore the associations of air pollutants exposure with liver function, and analyzed...

To alleviate the ecological and environmental problems caused by rapid urban development, China has formulated and implemented the new-type urbanization strategy. However, there is insufficient empirical research on the specific relationship between new-type urbanization and air pollution....
