Using China's regional input-output table, the paper constructs indicators of manufacturing servitization, matches manufacturing servitization at the regional level with city data, and uses spatial econometrics to empirically analyze the impact of manufacturing servitization on urban sulfur...

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a typical pollutant that affects human health, climate, and environmental and ecological conditions. China has been experiencing high concentrations of SO2, particularly in urban areas, since the 1990s. In 2010, a "joint prevention and control" (JPC) policy was issued to...

Cap-and-trade has been promoted by economists due to its cost-effectiveness. However, cap-and-trade could also introduce the risk of environmental inequality by creating pollution concentrations in areas where emitting facilities purchase many allowances. To investigate this concern, I collect...

Air pollution is a global public health threat, responsible for more deaths annually than conventional lifestyle risk factors. While the link between particulate pollution and cardiovascular disease is well-established, evidence for gaseous pollutants remains limited. This study estimates the...

The aeration-oxidation method stated by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) in the Resolution OIV-OENO 591A-2018 is internationally recognized as one of the election technique for free SO 2 quantification in wine.The present work highlighted that an underestimation of the SO 2...

The development of more sensitive and accurate sensors is essential to monitor the levels of pollutant gases that are causing high damage to the biosphere. One of the most promising materials for such application is graphene, which, due to its extensive collection of properties, has shown itself...

Sulfur is an essential element widely required by living organisms, thus sulfur starvation caused by competition for sulfate transporters between chromate and sulfate would affect Cr(VI) reduction in bacteria. In this study, we investigated the effects of six different sulfur salts on Cr(VI)...

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) nanomaterials have attracted tremendous research interest in various fields, while the effects of eco-corona formation on the transformation mechanisms and ecological risk of TMDCs remain largely unknown. The effect of eco-corona formation...

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted significant attention as next-generation energy storage systems owing to their high theoretical specific capacity (1675 mAh g –1 ) and energy density (2567 Wh kg –1 ) . However, the low electrical conductivity of S and the dissolution of...

The hazardous waste sulfuric acid from alkylation process contains numerous organic pollutants and seriously threatens the ecological environment. Conventional pyrolysis process inevitably demands high investment and energy-extensive input, which constrains further large-scale applications....

Volatile organic sulfur compounds (VSCs) released by algae are of great significance in sulfur cycle, climate regulation and biological information transmission, and they are also the main compounds causing the taste and odor of freshwater. However, most of the previous studies focused on these...

Higher country taxes on noxious manufacturing emissions lead to substantial increases in firm R&D spending. The R&D response is driven entirely by the high-pollution firms most affected by emissions taxes. Pollution taxes increase the market value of R&D spending in polluting firms, even when...

This paper provides an overhaul of the contribution of exports to industrial sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in Chinese cities. My estimation strategy exploits the import demand shocks of export destination markets (net of their demand for Chinese products) as a plausibly exogenous source of...

Electric utilities can reduce sulfur dioxide emissions through a variety of strategies such as adding scrubbers, switching to low- sulfur coal, or shifting output between generating plants with different emissions. The cost of achieving a given emission target can be minimized using a market for...

Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 created a market for electric utility emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Recent papers have argued that flaws in the design of the auctions that are part of this market have adversely affected its performance. These papers incorrectly assume that...

We argue that marine fuel consumers and producers can reduce the uncertainty regarding their portfolios under environmental regulations aimed at air pollution reduction. Our results show that uncertainty can be reduced up to 72%. We also identify Gasoil futures as the universal hedging...

In developing countries widespread air pollution poses a major threat to public health calling for effective environmental regulation. This paper adds to a small literature on the health impact of different environmental regulations. Using data from eight waves of China Health and Nutrition...

This paper develops residual-based monitoring procedures for cointegrating polynomial regressions (CPRs), i.e., regression models including deterministic variables and integrated processes, as well as integer powers, of integrated processes as regressors. The regressors are allowed to be...

In our analytical general equilibrium model where two polluting inputs can be substitutes or complements in production, we study the effects of a tax on one pollutant in two cases: one where both pollutants face taxes and the second where the other pollutant is subject to a permit policy. In...

The purpose of this paper is to extend the dynamic resource allocation problem by including stock externalities like accumulated CO2 and SO2 emissions as well as flow externalities like waste of energy or pollutants which can be abated (SO2). The objective is to examine how the evolution of...

Is trade liberalization contributing to cleaner production amongst manufacturing firms? Theoretical predictions and empirical evidences are mixed. This study utilizes China's dual trade regime and China's WTO entry in 2001 to construct a unique micro dataset on manufacturing firms for China for...

This paper examines the role of a sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions quota introduced as part of China's 11th Five-Year Plan on internal movements of high-skilled labour across Chinese prefecture cities. Using data on migration flows calculated through changes in Hukou status, this study suggests...

This paper develops residual-based monitoring procedures for cointegrating polynomial regressions, i. e. , regression models including deterministic variables, integrated processes as well as integer powers of integrated processes as regressors. The regressors are allowed to be endogenous and...

The removal of high inlet concentrations of NOx (1000 ppm) and SO2 ( 500 ppm) from diesel engine off-gases was studied using hybrid electron beam technology, i.e. electron beam combined with a wet scrubber method. Five different wet scrubbing solutions were examined: 3.5% NaCl solution...

Is trade liberalization contributing to cleaner production amongst manufacturing firms? Theoretical predictions and empirical evidences are mixed. This study utilizes China's dual trade regime and China's WTO entry in 2001 to construct a unique micro dataset on manufacturing firms for China for...

Is trade liberalization contributing to cleaner production amongst manufacturing firms? Theoretical predictions and empirical evidences are mixed. This study utilizes China’s dual trade regime and China’s WTO entry in 2001 to construct a unique micro dataset on manufacturing firms for China...

Is a firm's ability to export an important determinant of environmental performance? To answer this question, we construct a unique micro dataset that merged two rich firm-level datasets for China for 2007. When combining this new dataset with well-received empirical specifications, we found...
