“…In Southern China, the CO emissions decreased in the PRD but increased in eastern and western Guangdong Province and southern Guangxi Province. Guangdong government proposed the macrocontrol strategy of "Bi-transfer" in which the eastern and western wings of Guangdong and the mountainous area of northern Guangdong actively undertake industrial transfer in the PRD to solve the problem of unbalanced regional economic development and promote ecological civil civilization (Bian et al, 2019;Jing et al, 2017;X. Yin et al, 2017).…”

China has implemented active clean air policies in recent years, and the spatiotemporal patterns of major pollutant emissions have changed substantially. In this study, we construct a regional air pollution data assimilation system based on the WRF/CMAQ model and ensemble Kalman filter algorithm to quantitatively optimize gridded CO emissions using hourly surface CO measurements over China. The Multi‐resolution Emission Inventory of China CO emission inventories in December 2012 and 2016 are treated as prior emissions, and the CO emissions in December 2013 and 2017 are optimized using the CO observations of December of 2013 and 2017, respectively. The results show that in both periods, assimilation of CO observations significantly improves the CO simulations and emission estimates. Assimilation increases the CO emissions in most areas of mainland China, especially in northern China, and the spatial patterns of the increases in the two periods are similar. Overall, the posterior CO emissions in December 2017 are 17% lower than those in December 2013. Large emission decreases are mainly found in most key urban areas and developed regions, and emission increases are mainly located in their surrounding areas and certain central and western regions, which might reflect the emission migration from developed regions or urban areas to developing regions or surrounding areas. These changes are not found in the prior emissions but are basically consistent with the emission control strategies and industrial transformation and upgrade phenomena in recent years, indicating that our CO assimilation system could successfully capture the temporal and spatial variations.

“…Unlike prior studies, we use sector-level data instead of firm-level data in this study. We collect the required data from different Chinses statistical yearbooks as they can represent the reliability and authority of data [96]. Many scholars conducting similar research also collect the required data from different statistical yearbooks (e.g., [74,97]).…”

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between environmental performance (EP) and financial performance (FP) from the perspective of technical innovation in Chinese industrial sectors. We also consider industrial heterogeneity and take temporal variations of the link into account. We collect the required data from different Chinese statistical yearbooks from 2004 to 2015. We use an aggregated index of environmental pollutants as a proxy for EP and return on assets as a proxy for FP, and we employ research and development expenditure to capture technical innovation. The empirical results indicate that industrial heterogeneity exists and the EP-FP link varies in different industrial groups. There is no evidence that the EP-FP link becomes more positive and more significant over time. Furthermore, the mediation effect of technical innovation and environmental pressures can jointly affect the link. Finally, technical innovation partially mediates the EP-FP link but only in Chinese light-polluting sectors not in heavy-polluting sectors. The mediating role of technical innovation has a great impact on shaping the EP-FP link. When technical innovation partially mediates the focal link, apart from the indirect link, the direct EP-FP link is likely to be positive. If not, the direct EP-FP link is likely to be negative.

“…It is possible to apply the following formula, which allows to consider the optimum ratio of volumes of pollution and the territory under the enterprise in order to search of the objective decision: hs = (1) where hs -the specific admissible volume of pollution, accepted as constant value; Z -total amount of pollution on the considered enterprise; S -area of the territory of the considered enterprise. Applying this formula for determination of admissible volumes of pollution or the area of various enterprises, we can divide the results three main groups, corresponding to the main options of reconstruction transformation of industrial zones.…”

Abstract. The authors consider a relevant problem of preservation and improvement of the ecological situation in large and medium industrial cities. Recently the cities suffer because of the increasing pollution. While motor transport is being transferred to the electric power, expand application of renewable types of energy, the industrial enterprises present a great danger. Even though the enterprises throw out many substances to the environment, it would be wrong to estimate them only as a negative phenomenon. They work for people and for the economy of the state. Three integrated options, describing the most typical situations, in which there are production objects during functioning and development, are considered in the article. The most often found schemes of planning of the production territories, relating to industries, which are historically placed in the cities, are analysed. The mechanism of distribution of pollution in these territories is considered. The generalized measures for each option of reconstruction transformations are offered.
