“…Meanwhile, regional nitrogen emissions and depositions also increased [60][61][62]. This changed the compositions of acid rain [63,64] and brought a new challenge for the regional eco-environment and the regional economies [26,65,66]. (Tables 3-5) and related subsectors transferred from the south to the central and north (Figure 6 and Table 6).…”

Abstract:The impact of manufacturing transfer in Jiangsu province, China, on the spatial-temporal variations of SO 2 emissions is investigated using estimated sector-specific SO 2 emissions, and , respectively. The paper reveals that structure adjustments should be executed in a timely manner in the manufacturing transfer-in process so that the transfer-in regions can benefit from the economic boom without bearing a deteriorated environment.

“…In addition, it is worthwhile noting that, after 2009, air pollution related incidents started to exceed water pollution incidents. As we know, in recent years, China has continuously suffered from large-scale haze [37,38] and PM2.5 excessive atmospheric events [39], and in many cities, the air quality has continually deteriorated [40][41][42][43]. Moreover, chemical plant explosion accidents have intensified the air pollution.…”

Spatial-temporal hotspot pattern analysis of environmental pollution incidents provides an indispensable source of information for the further development of incident prevention measures. In this study, the spatial-temporal patterns of environmental pollution incidents in China in the period of 1995-2012 were analyzed, using the Spatial Getis-Ord statistic and an Improved Prediction Accuracy Index (IAPI). The results show that, in this period, the occurrence of environmental incidents exhibited a dynamic growth pattern but then dropped and continued to drop after the year 2006, which was considered a crucial turning point. Not coincidentally, this corresponds to the year when the State Council issued its National Environmental Emergency Plan, and following the examination of major incidents, special actions were taken to strengthen the control of incidents and emergency responses. The results from Getis-Ord General G statistical analysis show that the spatial agglomeration phenomenon was statistically significant after 1999 and that the level of spatial agglomeration was rising, while the Getis-Ord Gi * statistical analysis reveals that environmental pollution incidents were mainly agglomerated in the Pan Yangtze River OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 14386Delta and Pan Pearl River Delta regions. Accordingly, the spatial-temporal hotspot pattern based on the IAPI values at the provincial scale could be categorized into: stable hotspots, unstable hotspots, and cold-spot areas. The stable hotspots category was further divided into three subtypes: industrial distribution type, industrial transfer type, and extensive economic growth type. Finally, the corresponding measures for sustainable management were proposed: stable hotspots were classified as essential regions requiring the immediate prevention and control of environmental pollution incidents; unstable hotspots were characterized by their need for ongoing and continual prevention measures, and cold-spots were those areas that required strengthened environmental monitoring. Meanwhile, it was identified that a multi-level environmental pollution incident emergency response and regional (incident) joint control plan needed to be well prepared and carried out effectively. To prevent environmental pollution and the regional transfer of pollution from incidents, measures towards achieving regional environmental planning, environmental risk prevention, environmental emergency monitoring and adequate emergency responses must be efficiently implemented.

“…Researchers have examined the correlation between per capita number of statemonitored enterprises and other socio-economic indices to show the negative impacts of sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ) industrial air pollution on agricultural development in the regions (Wei et al, 2014). Nandy et al (2014) have also studied the adverse effects mainly morphological damages viz.…”

Air pollution is a matter of great concern in the globe. Generally air pollutant generates from industries, automobiles, etc. and the primary pollutants may easily convert to secondary pollutants. Both of these pose serious threat to the plant community viz. crops, vegetables and avenue plant species are depending on the emission pattern, atmospheric transport and leaf uptake and on the plant's biochemical defense capacity. An impact caused by air pollutants depends not only upon its concentration, but also on the duration (acute and chronic exposure) and combination of air pollutants. Biomonitoring on plant species is an easy tool to know bioindicator species in which exposure of air pollutants can easily be identified. The present review deals with past and present research works of major gaseous pollutants emissions and their impact on crop, vegetables and tree species performance from available literatures.
