Environmental contaminants monitoring is one of the key issues in understanding and managing hazards to human health and ecosystems. In this context, aptamer based electrochemical sensors have achieved intense significance because of their capability to resolve a potentially large number of problems and challenges in environmental contamination. An aptasensor is a compact analytical device inco...

Considering that the coordination of economic development and environmental protection has become a worldwide concern and that China's environmental pollution and ecological destruction are mainly attributable to limitation of its future economic development, this paper presents a discussion on the symbiotic relationship between the economic development and environmental protection. The present...

Dyella ginsengisoli strain LA-4 can efficiently degrade environmental pollutants such as biphenyl and azo dyes. Here, we present a 4.55-Mb draft genome sequence of strain LA-4, which may provide further insights into the molecular mechanism in environmental pollution remediation.

this study investigates the effectiveness of the kriging interpolation model and the emission weighted proximity model (ewpm) in assessing relative exposure risk of air pollution using results from the american meteorological society/epa regulatory model (aermod) as benchmarks. we used simulated exposure risk to so2 in the dallas area in texas in this evaluation. results suggest that the relati...

Exposures to environmental pollutants during windows of developmental vulnerability in early life can cause disease and death in infancy and childhood as well as chronic, non-communicable diseases that may manifest at any point across the life span. Patterns of pollution and pollution-related disease change as countries move through economic development. Environmental pollution is now recognize...

The rapid industrial development that began in the 1950's created environmental problems which consequently led to health hazards among residents of heavily polluted areas in Japan, such as Minamata Disease and Yokkaichi Asthma. Faced with these situations, the Japanese national government and local environmental authorities exerted much efforts to control pollution as well as to provide soluti...

The important issues of China’s environmental pollution and its internal reasons have been explored by means of the software MATLAB which has been widely applied to the economics fields due to its powerful mathematical and graphical functions. The impact of local government’s behavior on environmental pollution has been evaluated and, an empirical analysis based on China’s 30 provincial data fr...

  The main purpose of this study is to estimate the maritime transportation elasticities of the environmental pollution and economic growth in Iran within the short-run and long-run to find out the relationships among maritime transportation, environmental pollution and economic growth. The lagged endogenous model (a dynamic log-linear model that we used) is estimated using two distinctive ...

Environmental pollution is now a serious problem in many developing countries. One approach to combat the problem is to implement various pollution control policies. However, due to a lack of adequate quantitative models, the economic impacts and effectiveness of many pollution control policies are still unknown. This article uses the computable general-equilibrium (CGE) approach to develop an ...
