Environmental pollution damages public health and affects economic development. Environmental regulation is the main way for the government to solve environmental pollution. So what type of environmental regulation works better for public health and economic development? Can environmental regulation have an influence on economic development through public health? To solve these problems, this research uses China’s provincial panel data from 2013 to 2017 to divide environmental regulation into command-control policy tools and economic incentive policy tools and uses the mediating effect model to examine the relationship among environmental regulation, public health and economic development. The results show that: (1) There is a positive correlation between economic incentive policy tools and economic development; while no significant relationship between command-control policy tools and economic development is founded; (2) The relationship between command-control policy tools and public health is not significant, while the relationship between economic incentive policy tools and public health is positive; (3) Public health does not play a mediating role between command-control policy tools and economic development but plays a partial mediating role between economic incentive policy tools and economic development. Therefore, the government should strengthen the use of economic incentive policy tools to promote public health and sustainable economic development.

“…McGartland et al ( 23 ) estimated the health benefits of environmental regulations and concluded that reductions in various environmental pollutants can have a beneficial effect on non-cancer health. Tang et al ( 24 ) came to the conclusion that environmental regulations have a significant co-benefit on high-quality environmental development and public health. However, some studies have also concluded that the policy effects of environmental regulation are limited.…”

Residents' health is the basic condition for economic and social development. At present, China's environmental pollution problem is becoming increasingly serious, which not only hinders sustainable economic and social development, but also poses a major threat to public health. Therefore, based on the carbon emissions trading policy implemented in China, this paper explores this policy's impact on residents' health using the DID model and illustrates the moderating effect of environmental pollution. The results show that (1) carbon emissions trading policies can promote the improvement of residents' health; (2) the effect is stronger for western regions and provinces with smaller population sizes after taking control variables into consideration; and (3) environmental pollution has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between carbon emissions trading and residents' health. This research serves as an important reference for expanding the scope of the policy pilot, reducing pollutant emissions, and improving the health of the population.

“…Therefore, we need to calculate the correlation between different indicators, from which we can select the appropriate characteristics for water quality assessment. Commonly used correlation analysis methods include Pearson correlation coefficient analysis ( Zhang et al., 2022a ), Granger causality analysis ( Tang et al., 2020 ), and grey relational analysis ( Wang et al., 2020 ). Most indicators affecting water quality are grey and localized.…”

Most of the water quality indicators that affect the results of river water quality assessment are gray and localized, thus the correlation between water quality indicators can be calculated using gray correlation analysis (GRA).However, GRA takes equal weighting for water quality indicators and does not take into account the weighting of the indicators. Therefore, this paper proposes a river water quality assessment method based on improved grey correlation analysis (ACGRA) andparticle swarm optimization multi-classification support vector machine (PSO-MSVM) for assessing river water environment quality. Firstly, the combination weights of water quality indicators were calculated using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)AHP and Criteria Importance Though Intercrieria Correlation (CRITIC)CRITIC, and then the correlation between water quality indicators was calculated for feature selection. Secondly, the PSO-MSVM model was established using the water quality indicators obtained by ACGRA as input parameters for water environment quality assessment. The river water environment assessment methods of ACGRA and PSO-MSVM were applied to the evaluation of water environment quality in different watersheds in the country. Accuracy, precision, recall and root mean square errorRMSE were also introduced as model evaluation criteria. The results show that the river water environment assessment methods based on ACGRA and PSO-MSVM can evaluate the water environment quality more accurately.
