“…Similarly, there are sharp 185 peaks in sedimentation rate in Chapman's Pond (CHAP) in the early--1980s and at Marton Mere 186 (MARM) in the 1950s probably derived from waste disposal at these sites. Marton Mere is also located in an area of early factory--based industrialisation and urbanisation 210 and was greatly affected by historical coal burning and by waste from local metal production and 211 manufacturing entering the drainage system to which it was connected (Stobart, 2004). Therefore, 212 the start of the Hg increase in the lake may reflect regional industrial development of factory--based 213 industry, trade and transport systems produced by a locally integrated economy between 1700 and 214 1760 (Stobart, 2004 The differing historical influences to which the lakes have been subjected result in a variety 233 of temporal patterns in both the Hg concentration and flux profiles (Figures 2 and 3) since the 1850s.…”

9Sediment cores and soil samples were taken from nine lakes and their catchments across England 10 with varying degrees of direct human disturbance. Mercury (Hg) analysis demonstrated a range of 11 impacts, many from local sources, resulting from differing historical and contemporary site usage 12 and management. Lakes located in industrially important areas showed clear evidence for early Hg 13 pollution with concentrations in sediments reaching 400 --1600 ng g --1 prior to the mid--19th century. 14 Control of inputs resulting from local management practices and a greater than 90% reduction in UK 15Hg emissions since 1970 were reflected by reduced Hg pollution in some lakes. However, having 16 been a sink for Hg deposition for centuries, polluted catchment soils are now the major Hg source 17 for most lakes and consequently recovery from reduced Hg deposition is being delayed. 18 19 Capsule abstract 20Urban and suburban lake sediments across England reveal mercury pollution by local industry and 21 urbanisation, while catchment inputs have become the major source of Hg for most lakes. 22 23

The potential contribution of the textile sector is not limited to the local economy but it also represents a country’s image in the global market. It carries the initial boom for most emerging nations in their journey towards improved economic growth. The present study employs Quantile on Quantile regression, which is a unique methodology and has the tendency to establish the relationship between variables that are non-linear in nature across various quantile distributions. Moreover, the method stated helps in explaining the asymmetric response in the quantiles of economic growth of the countries studied caused by the quantiles of the textile and clothing industry. The quarterly data ranges from 1990 to 2018, and findings therefrom endorse the presence of a positive relationship between TTC and economic growth in all Asian Countries studied. In addition to this, the direction of the relationships in the quantiles was also evaluated by Granger causality, which revealed the presence of bidirectional causal effects in all countries, excluding Japan, Pakistan and Turkey, where it was found as uni-directional. Lastly, based on the findings, the government and policy making institutions are recommended for the introduction of certain programs that will incentivize and provide subsidies to potential investors, thus relaxing the competition for new entrants in the TTC sector.
