And, although not covered in this study, exposure to indoor air pollution also affects low-income groups disproportionately, as they tend to be more dependent on polluting, low-cost fuels such as charcoal, kerosene, or firewood for cooking and lighting. Air pollution is one of the world’s ...
notably particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 µm (PM2.5), has been unequivocally linked to a spectrum of adverse health outcomes. A nuanced understanding of the relationship between them is crucial for implementing effective policies.
Non-point-source pollution simulation has been considered as a cost-effective and time-efficient method for assessing pollution situation and selecting management practices.AnnAGNPS model created by Ministry of Agriculture of USA has been widely used for non-point pollution management worldwide.In China...
Incorporating our empirical estimates into a stage-structured population model, we discover that the dynamic effect of nighttime light on future generations of sea turtles is likely to be much larger, with a cost of approximately $2.8 billion for Guadeloupe alone. More generally, our study provides...
a scientist at the Indian Institute of Technology in the central city of Kanpur. He told Reuters news agency the salt mixture will include silver iodine to help produce rain. It is to be sprayed on clouds over a 100 square kilometer area. Agrawal said the project will cost about $120,000...
Research into the health effects of air pollution is ongoing. Medical conditions arising from air pollution can be very expensive. Healthcare costs, lost productivity in the workplace, and human welfare impacts cost billions of dollars each year. In many countries in the world, steps are being ...
Moreover now a days the land disposal of sewage waste water is being considered as a cost effective disposal with minimal environmental impact (Visesman and Hammer 1985) and also as an efficient measure of abatment of pollution of streams and rivers. However, the reuse of manicipaI and ...
One of the aims of this strategy is that by 2030, all plastic packaging placed on the EU market has to be either reusable or recyclable in a cost-effective manner. While some authors point out that today a large portion of food packaging consists of multilayer plastics that are not (yet)...
yet there is vast uncertainty about how these pathways will advance or derail the nation’s energy equality goals. We present a framework for investigating how decarbonization pathways, driven by a least-cost paradigm, will impact air pollution inequality across vulnerable groups (e.g., low-income...
(priority control of the ISI sector) could generate 5.4 times higher reduction in population-weighted toxic potency-adjusted PM2.5exposure among polluting industries in China. Furthermore, the marginal abatement cost per unit of toxic potency-adjusted mass of ISI-emitted PM2.5is only a quarter of ...
