“…Institutional barriers such as lack of facilities, inadequate policies, poor communication, or lack of incentives were also found to hinder effective waste management in Thailand ( Yukalang et al, 2017 ), while others have also argued that situational factors can adversely influence one's controllability and environmental concern regarding a behavior ( Francis et al, 2004 ; Takács-Sánta, 2007 ). Like our findings, they suggest that institutional support and incentives (including infrastructures such as waste disposal facilities) are vital to encourage pro-environmental behaviors ( Carducci et al, 2021 ). As such, people would only dispose of their used face masks properly if the authorities provided crucial infrastructures.…”

“…The first one is linked to the type of relationship among health expenditures, environmental degradation, and the population’s health status. Most prior works have examined either the incidences of CO2 emissions on health outcomes [e.g., ( 4 , 9 , 10 , 19 )], effects of health expenditure on health status [e.g., ( 13 , 14 , 16–18 )], or the nexus between health expenditure and environmental quality [e.g., ( 15 , 20–22 )]. However, to the knowledge of the authors, no earlier study has considered these concepts in one study.…”

IntroductionHuman health and well-being are intimately related to environmental quality. In this respect, the present study contributes to the existing health economic literature by examining whether public and private health expenditures (PPHE) moderate the incidences of environmental degradation on the health status in Saudi Arabia, particularly disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and infant mortality.MethodsUsing the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) method.Results and DiscussionThe empirical results revealed that (i) unconditional positive impacts of CO2 emissions on increasing DALYs and infant mortality; (ii) conditional negative impacts of public health expenditures on DALYs and infant mortality in all the estimated models, whereas global and private expenditure contribute only on reducing infant mortality; (iii) public health expenditure is more effective than private health expenditure in reducing infant mortality; (iv) the effects of the interactions between the indicators of both health expenditures and CO2 emissions on DALYs and infant mortality are negative and significant only for the specifications relating to public health expenditures, indicating that this later could be employed as a policy or conditional variable that moderates the adverse impacts of carbon emissions on the population’s health status. Generally, the study presents an overview of environmental health change’s effects and examine how these effects may be reduced through increasing health spending. The study provides recommendations for addressing health status, health expenditures, and carbon emissions, all of which are directly or indirectly linked to the study.

“…Forty years after the Benzene decision, there is growing awareness in the US about the need to address the ruling and somehow revise it 47 . For this reason, an optimal solution for both European and Non-European agencies is not simply to emulate foreign arrangement, but rather to work together and elaborate standards and common approaches that could lead to a shared legal framework for chemical mixtures 21,48 .…”
