The high environmental pollution load caused by the massive pollutant emissions and the accumulation of endogenous and cross-regional pollution has become an important obstacle to the current ecological civilization construction in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) in China. Taking the YREB...

Environmental pollutants such as heavy metals, nano/microparticles, and organic compounds have been detected in a wide range of environmental media, causing long-term exposure in various organisms and even humans through breathing, contacting, ingestion, and other routes. Long-term exposure to...

Exposure to air pollution or lack of physical activity (PA) increases the risk of insomnia. However, evidence on joint exposure to air pollutants is limited, and the interaction of joint air pollutants and PA on insomnia is unknown. This prospective cohort study included 40,315 participants with...

Background: Evidence for a potential link between air pollution and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is inconsistent, and the modified effect of genetic susceptibility on the relationship between air pollution and RA has not been well studied. Objective: Using a general population cohort from the UK...

In order to further improve the effectiveness of environmental pollution control and improve the quality of the atmospheric ecological environment, this article discusses regional environmental pollution control from the perspective of sociological theories and methods. Therefore, the article...

Fiscal decentralization is considered to be an important factor affecting government environmental governance, but the relationship between fiscal autonomy and environmental pollution has not been systematically explained. This study explores the institutional logic of urban environmental ...

Background: Air pollution has become a significant public health concern. During exercise, many physiological factors are thought to increase the effects of air pollution. Air pollution most affects lung function and respiratory symptoms. We investigated the association between lung function,...

Due to the diversity of pollution types, previous assessment methods have mostly been based on local conditions. In addition, polluted regions may transfer pollutants to other areas via general circulation of the atmosphere, surface or groundwater flows, and trade. This means that polluted regions...

The present study explores the impact of tourism on environmental pollution using a comprehensive set of air pollutants, namely CO₂, CO, NO_x, SO₂, PM_2.5, and PM₁₀, in a multivariate framework under the context of the Mediterranean countries. The panel cointegration tests indicate that there is a...

Microplastics and Nanoplastics (MNPLs) pollution has been recognized as the important environmental pollution caused by human activities in addition to global warming, ozone layer depletion and ocean acidification. Most of the current studies have focused on the toxic effects caused by plastics...
