It is essential to control and resolve the dilemma of deteriorating soil health due to pollution of heavy metals. The contribution of sources and relative sources of heavy metals...

Environmental regulations can oen lead to leakage due to the increased cost. In this paper, we investigate the carbon leakage induced by the air pollution control policy that focuses on PM2.5 mitigation in China – Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Air Pollution. We employ a one-to-one...

This study investigated the production of natural nitrogen doped carbon from expired fresh milk for use in a supercapacitor electrode. The material was prepared by hydrothermal carbonization followed by sequential KOH-H3PO4 activation. Carbon modified with KOH at a ratio of 1:1 had the largest...

Having constructed a unique dataset of consumption-based CO2 emissions for 17 different types of fossil fuels, 46 sectors and 7 industrial processes at the city level for 285 Chinese prefectures and municipalities, we assess the causal impact of China’s Low-carbon City Pilot (LCCP) on...
