We started this book with the goal to describe science reform efforts to help solve the sustainability crisis. Remember—some change will be required, as, by definition, an unsustainable system cannot continue along its current ways. Whether the change is planned and orderly or forced and chaotic...
The emergence of the idea led to the rise of environmental agencies, regulations and environmental studies, and to environmental science as new, integrated academic disciplines. It was in 1956 that the very first bachelor of science in environmental studies was awarded, at the Stat...

The behavior can also be defined as a series of actions made by an individual, organism, system, or artificial entity in relation to itself or its environment [29]. It is the computed response of a system or organism to various stimuli or inputs—whether internal or external, and done con...
Ahead of his 75th birthday, A. R. (Ravi) Ravishankara, Professor in the Departments of Chemistry and Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University, reflects on his career in atmospheric chemistry as well as his contribution to combatting the depletion of the ozone layer. ...
(broadly defined, an EDC is an exogenous substance, one that comes from outside the body, that interferes with natural hormones in the body). Other EDCs, such asDDTanddiethylstilbestrol, have been associated with congenital (birth) defects, reducedfertility, and diseases such asobesity,diabetes ...
Microplastics, defined as the plastic material with a size of < 5mm, have been widely attracting attention due to the high mobility and strong affinity toward pollutants. Microplastics concentrate in soil through plastic film breakage, landfill and atmospheric deposition. Microplastics can migrate downwar...
Economic policy uncertainty (EPU) could be defined as ambiguity and/or vagueness in economic policies, and it has been escalating since the turn of twenty first century. The recent events, e.g., financial crisis, Brexit, US-China trade war, and COVID-19 pandemic have surged the EPU world...
Conclusion Our findings suggest a positive correlation between the NHHR and an increased prevalence of stroke, potentially serving as a novel predictive factor for stroke. Timely intervention and management of the NHHR may effectively mitigate stroke occurrence. Prospective studies are required to validate...
