Mosquito and global dengue cases in a warming world
Dengue presents a significant global health challenge, affecting 50–100 symptomatic infections every year and placing immense strain on healthcare systems in tropical and subtropical regions. However, future projections of dengue infections in a warming world remain unclear. We used the support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) models with Aedes mosquitoes and dengue records from 1960 to 2019 to comprehensively assess the e…
Interpreting complex relationships between urban and meteorological factors and street-level urban heat islands: Application of random forest and SHAP method
Rising heavy precipitation amid decreasing typhoon contribution in Southeast Asia
Understanding long-term precipitation changes in Southeast Asia (SEA) is important because the region is highly vulnerable to precipitation-related disasters. This study examines typhoon and non-typhoon heavy precipitation over SEA during 1960–2024 using a typhoon track dataset and three high-resolution precipitation products. Results show a significant decrease in typhoon-precipitation contribution to total precipitation across the entire SEA, b…
When firms merge, do carbon emissions fall? Insights from China’s manufacturing sector
Manufacturing mergers and acquisitions (M&A) represent a market-driven mechanism for corporate restructuring that facilitates technology transfer, resource reallocation, and the exchange of management knowledge between heterogeneous corporate owners. Unlike complex multi-departmental carbon policies, M&A networks may offer a more manageable pathway for diffusing cleaner production methods across urban systems. This study examines how manufacturin…
Detecting thresholds in the health impact of the urban built environment
Pollution acceleration before braking: Evidence of environmental deterioration from the anticipated steel restriction policy in China
This research employs China’s steel restriction policy as a backdrop to investigate environmental policies’ unintended and counterproductive effects. Using high-resolution satellite-derived data and panel Difference-in-Differences regression, we found that the air pollution concentration in cities implementing the steel restriction policy is 5.688 μ g/m 3 higher than in control group cities. Additionally, the growth rate of air pollution in these…
An analysis of roadside particulate matter pollution and population exposure over the Pearl River Delta region of China under clear-sky condition using new ultra-high-resolution PM 2.5 satellite-retri…
Roadside air pollution is one of the serious air pollution problems in urban areas. Even though roadside air pollution has been reported to cause adverse human health impacts, the spatial distribution of roadside air pollution in a large urban agglomeration has yet to be fully assessed. This study aimed to analyse roadside fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) pollution and the population exposure in 11 cities in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region of…
Impacts of transboundary air pollution and local emissions on PM 2.5 pollution in the Pearl River Delta region of China and the public health, and the policy implications
Despite a downward trend in pollutant levels because of a series of emission control policies, the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region continues to suffer from a high number of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) events and the resultant public health impacts. To effectively control PM 2.5 in the region, a comprehensive understanding of source contribution and PM 2.5 responses to various emission species is critical. We applied the Community Multiscale …
Impacts of sectoral emissions in China and the implications: Air quality, public health, crop production, and economic costs
China has experienced considerable economic losses from a severe deterioration in air quality. To solve this, a comprehensive understanding of the impacts and sources of air pollution is necessary. This study aimed to quantify the environmental and human health impacts of PM 2.5 and O 3 pollution from the six major emission-producing sectors in China. We utilized a chemical transport model to simulate the air quality impacts engendered by sectora…
Global, regional and local health impacts of civil aviation emissions
Aviation emissions impact surface air quality at multiple scales—from near-airport pollution peaks associated with airport landing and take off (LTO) emissions, to intercontinental pollution attributable to aircraft cruise emissions. Previous studies have quantified aviation’s air quality impacts around a specific airport, in a specific region, or at the global scale. However, no study has assessed the air quality and human health impacts of avia…
Quantifying the climate impacts of albedo changes due to biofuel production: A comparison with biogeochemical effects
Lifecycle analysis is a tool widely used to evaluate the climate impact of greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the production and use of biofuels. In this paper we employ an augmented lifecycle framework that includes climate impacts from changes in surface albedo due to land use change. We consider eleven land-use change scenarios for the cultivation of biomass for middle distillate fuel production, and compare our results to previous estim…
