Abstract:Abstract. During the last 30 years Chinese economy has increased rapidly. The pollution of air in many Chinese cities exceeds both national and international standards due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and increased energy consumption. At
“…Regarding the physicochemical conditions of the water resources present in the proposed corridor, it was observed that the margin of the water course has an anthropized riparian forest, which causes modi cation of the characteristics and the quality of the resource. In addition to causing siltation in the stretch with access to the river, temperature is a factor with the potential to control the concentration of dissolved oxygen and prevent bacteria from consuming the existing oxygen; and stretches with inadequate values should be monitored frequently ( Due to the pH presenting alterations in the analyzed sections, acidi ed freshwater environments may be related to natural characteristics of the environment or may be suffering the in uence of acid rain (Beaune et al 2018;Mohajan 2018). These occur in spaces with a predominance of urbanized areas and rural properties, which may reveal an effect of their activities and may be related to the increase in heavy metals affecting aquatic organisms (Bobkova et al 2015;Zhang et al 2018).…”
The Atlantic Forest, in the state of Bahia, Brazil, is a fragmented hotspot that faces challenges in order to overcome environmental degradation. Ecological connectivity is one strategy that may mitigate environmental impacts. The objective of the study was to develop a spatial proposal for an ecological corridor between the forest fragment of the UFSB Sosigenes Costa University Campus, the private Natural Heritage Reserve Estação Veracel and the Pau Brasil National Park, as well as understand the mechanisms for the implementation of an ecological corridor that involves different government sectors in possible public-private support strategies. The topographic, socioeconomic, ecological and legal characteristics were evaluated in a geographic information system. Using the minimum cost method, the potential areas were modeled for a spatial mapping of connectivity between the areas. The proposed corridor has a length of 9.78 km, a width of 978.70 m and a total area of 942.70 ha. Due to a predominance of anthropogenic activities, mitigation strategies would be required for its implementation. Public-private partnerships can promote forest connectivity and mitigate threats to the stability of local ecosystems, inside and outside of conservation units, and permanent preservation areas should be prioritized as a source of forest connectivity.

“…These gasses have the ability to cause damage in the CCUS system especially to the production equipment and pipelines by either turning sour on its own or by reacting with water to produce corrosive sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) (De Visser et al 2008;Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2015;Schwartz 1989;SNC-Lavalin Inc 2004). Usually, when fossil fuel or coal is combusted, it will produce a high concentration of these acidic gas which if it is release to the atmosphere, it can cause acid rain (Mohajan 2019). Thus, a strong and stable storage are needed to prevent leak, as it will release toxic gases to the atmosphere and endanger everything in the surrounding (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2015; SNC-Lavalin Inc 2004).…”

Deployment of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technologies to mitigate climate change and overturn CO2 emissions growth would require transformational changes comprehensively. The primary focus of this manuscript is on the impurities standards and limitation that can ensure project feasibility in the long run. There is a need in the industry for guidance on purity analysis prior to capture, shipment, and storage of carbon dioxide. This is because the cost to capture and separate the stream is proving to be very costly that can make the project to be unfeasible to operate. Following this further, this manuscript discusses the previous research and best practices that establish standards for acceptable impurities that might present in the stream and its effects towards the CCUS system. Consequently, this manuscript also provides better understanding on the impurities effects towards CCUS technology system in general. Understanding these limitations, may provide cost effective solution for CCUS problems that revolves around the impurities in CO2 stream. Impurities can affect some components of the carbon capture and storage process. It is clear that even a little number of impurities can cause the carbon dioxide stream properties to change. There are two primary factors discussed in this manuscript that affect how a CCUS system responds to a CO2 stream that contains impurities: a physical and chemical effects.
“…The strategic shift from emission control to air quality management is evident in China's three decades of air pollution progress. The worsening acid rain problem in China was fixed in 2007 by regulating sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions [11]. Since 2013, control activities on numerous precursors and sectors have aimed to lower PM2.5 concentrations, signalling a shift in focus from emissions to air quality.…”
Section: Progress Of Air Pollution In Chinamentioning
This paper examines the relationship between economic development and air quality in China. After introducing the economic development process and air quality situation in China, a comprehensive literature review is carried out, in which several works that document research on the link between economic growth and pollution are examined critically. The findings of this study lend credence to the Environmental Kuznets Curve, which shows a correlation between rising levels of air pollution and expanding economies. After conducting research and analysis of China's economic growth after reforms, it was discovered that economic growth was a major contributor to environmental pollution. In addition, it contributed to the rise of the middle class, which increased the use of polluting fossil fuels. The study suggests that non-renewable energies, electric cars, and industrial technologies be implemented to reduce air pollution. Additionally, the study indicates that research be conducted regarding how responsible development can be achieved without necessarily having a negative impact on ecological environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
