Explaining Environmental Kuznets Curves: How Pollution Induces Policy and New Technologies [PDF]

Production often causes pollution as a by-product.Once pollution problems become too severe, regulation is introduced by political authorities which forces the economy to make a transition to cleaner production processes.We model this transition as a ...

Selective Electrochemical NOx Reduction to N2 for Sustainable Ammonia Energy Systems

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Selective electrochemical NOx reduction to N2 offers a promising route to mitigate combustion‐derived NOx emissions in ammonia energy systems. This Perspective links *NO‐mediated pathways, the key intermediate role of N2O, and low‐coverage limitations to the origins of limited N2 selectivity, establishing tandem catalysis and microenvironment ...

Unravelling the Worldwide Pollution Haven Effect [PDF]

This paper tackles the “pollution haven” argument by estimating the pollution content of imports (PCI). The PCI is then decomposed into three components: (i) a “deep” component (i.e.

Species dependent accumulation and transformation of 8:2 polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters in sediment by three benthic organisms

Environment International, 2019
Sediment is a major sink for 8:2 polyfluoroalkyl phosphate diester (8:2 diPAP) in the environment. In the present study, three representative benthic organisms, including carp (Cyrinus carpio), loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) and worm (Limnodrilus ...

True Closed‐Loop Recyclable Hydrogels Enabled by Imine Boronic Ester Crosslinking

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Subtle molecular differences in imine boronic ester crosslinkers profoundly influence hydrogel properties. 2‐formylphenylboronic acid crosslinkers form previously undisclosed 3‐amino‐benzoxaborole heterocycles, enhancing elasticity despite lower crosslinking density compared to their 4‐formylphenylboronic acid counterparts.

Cornus Mas L. Seed‐Derived Biosorbent for Methylene Blue Removal: Surface Characterization and Biosorption Performance

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Cornus mas L. seeds are transformed into a high‐performance biosorbent through chemical modification, effectively removing methylene blue from aqueous solutions. Comprehensive characterization and optimization reveal a maximum biosorption capacity of 71.71 mg g−1, establishing this sustainable, cost‐effective material as a promising solution for ...

Environmental regulation incidences towards international oligopolies: pollution taxes vs emission permits [PDF]

The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether the choice between two instruments of environmental policy (pollution taxes vs emission permits) affects the market shares in the presence of imperfectly competitive product markets.

Migration Behaviour of the Combined Pollutants of Cadmium and 2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-Hexabrominated Diphenyl Ether (BDE-153) in Amaranthus mangostanus L. and Their Toxicity to A. mangostanus

Applied Sciences
The effects of different concentrations of cadmium and 2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexabrominated diphenyl ether (BDE-153) on the growth and related physiological and biochemical indexes of Amaranthus mangostanus L. (amaranth) were studied.

Turning Humidity Into Function: Heterojunction Interfaces for Dual‐Mode Removal of Nonpolar Vapors

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A wire‐grown MIL–88B(Fe)@Fe3(PO4)2 heterojunction converts ambient humidity into a functional mediator for nonpolar VOC purification. Water forms a hydration layer that enhances cyclohexane uptake while simultaneously promoting •OH generation, resulting in synergistic adsorption–photocatalysis under humid conditions.

Environmental regulation and revealed comparative advantages in Europe: is China a pollution haven? [PDF]

The relocation of more polluting industries in poorer countries due to gaps in environmental standards is known as the pollution haven effect, whereby the scale and the composition of output change across countries.
