mitigate known exposures, extrapolate environmental remediation knowledge, and share lessons of effective risk communication from industrialized countries with less developed areas of the world. To facilitate this process, global health concerns resulting from environmental exposures need to be addressed universally. Additionally, the global scientific community must commit to working together ...

abstract this study shows the relationship between environmental pollution and economical growth by kuznets hypothesis which has drived from provincial data during 1375 - 1385. carbon monoxide pollution as environmental index and gross national product as economical index have been used. fix effects have been preferred to random effects based on f test for estimation of environmental kuznets cu...

This paper examines spatial variations in exposure to toxic air pollution from industrial facilities in urban areas of the United States, using geographic microdata from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Risk‐Screening Environmental Indicators project. We find that average exposure in an urban area is positively correlated with the extent of racial ...

Kazakhstan, like other former Soviet Republics, inherited a number of serious environmental problems. Air pollution is one of these serious problems, leading to significant environmental health effects on the population of Kazakhstan. This study provides a baseline analysis of health damages from air pollution, based on readily available information. Mean estimates of mortality risk attributabl...

In the past 30 years, China’s economy has experienced rapid development, which led to a vast increase in energy consumption and serious environmental pollution. Among the different types of pollution, heavy metal pollution has become one of the major environmental issues in China. A number of studies show that high level of heavy metal exposure is a frequent cause of permanent intellectual and ...

Extraction and transportation of oil in the Sea are one of the pollution sources in the Seawater. Caspian Sea contains about 100000 million barrels of oil. It also contains over 35000 millions cubic meter of flue gas. Daily extractions of crude oil and gas and transportation of them are the main pollution sources of the Caspian Sea. Many truck to carry goods and oil tankers to carry oil from po...

Mercury (Hg) has been used for millennia in many applications, primarily in artisanal mining and as an electrode in the chlor-alkali industry. It is anthropogenically emitted as a pollutant from coal fired power plants and naturally emitted, primarily from volcanoes. Its unique chemical characteristics enable global atmospheric transport and it is deposited after various processes, ultimately e...

Using complex networks and spatial econometric methods, we empirically test the extent to which a country’s influence and its position in an international investment network affect environmental quality as well as the country’s role in transboundary pollution transfer. The estimated results show that the ties connecting nodes together in an international investment network have significant impa...

High levels of pharmaceuticals, including fluoroquinolones (FQs), have been detected in the effluent from an Indian waste water treatment plant serving bulk drug production intended for the global market. Responses from short-term effluent exposure were studied in fish and rats through explorative analyses of hepatic mRNA abundance, enzyme activities and blood chemistry parameters. Exposure of ...

In December 1968, during its annual meeting, the American Association for the Advancement of Science convened a symposium on the Global Effects of Environmental Pollution. In the words of the organizer of this symposium, Mr. S. Fred Singer, the purposes "were to discuss the worldwide effects which may arise from local pollution and to try to uncover, if possible, hitherto unsuspected effects wh...
