“…Frontiers in Environmental Science frontiersin.org 2005, coupled with the decision of the Chinese State Council to strengthen environmental protection in line with the Scientific Outlook on Development, these policies signify the incorporation of air pollution control into considerations of economic development (Van Vuuren et al, 2006). Some studies have explored the effectiveness of these policies (Cirman et al, 2009).…”

Introduction: The uncertainty associated with PM2.5 pollution hinders the economic high-quality development and threatens public health. Industrial agglomeration stands as a critical factor in regional economic and environmental governance, and the current studies about its impact on PM2.5 pollution are mostly limited to a specific industry or unidirectional influence.Methods: Our study constructed spatial econometric models to analyze the effect of three major industrial agglomerations on PM2.5 pollution, based on evidence from 110 prefecture-level cities of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in 2005–2019.Results: The results show that: 1) The three major industrial agglomerations and PM2.5 pollution present different spatiotemporal characteristics and show prominent positive spatial autocorrelation and agglomeration effect. 2) The primary industrial agglomeration contributes to a decrease in PM2.5 pollution and exhibits negative spatial spillover effects. A nonlinear relationship is observed between the secondary industrial agglomeration and PM2.5 pollution. The tertiary industrial agglomeration results in an increase in PM2.5 pollution. 3) The effects of secondary industrial agglomeration on PM2.5 pollution exhibit varying degrees of ‘inverted U-shape’ curves in the upstream, midstream, and downstream cities. The midstream cities are the first to reach the inflection point of agglomeration. 4) Industrial agglomeration affects PM2.5 pollution through three mechanisms, including scale expansion effect, technological spillover effect, and population scale effect.Discussion: Based on the empirical findings, this study provides scientific support and decision-making reference to improve the positive impacts of industrial agglomerations on PM2.5 pollution.

“…In 1970, the word "environment" was frequently used in Japan because pollutants such as Mercury, CO and NO 2 , resulted in societal problems [3] and the Clean Air Act in 1970 in the USA reduced air pollution from industry [2]. The effect of air pollution on global warming was then widely discussed since 1980 and the Kyoto protocol, which was an attempt to reduce gas emission, commenced to act in 2005 [4]. After 5 years of implementation of the Kyoto protocol, the world is surprised by the quick spread of serious respiratory infection diseases which then prompted WHO to announce a pandemic [5].…”

The high rate of land conversion may jeopardize natural resources vital to Balinese culture, as well as the forest’s ability to maintain a healthy environment. Agroforestry is thought to have a significant environmental benefit in terms of reducing air pollution and respiratory diseases. This research aimed to find a solution to reduce air pollution that is harmful to people’s health. Relevant articles were found by searching through databases such as Google Scholar, Research Gate, Wiley Online Library, and others. According to the findings, respiratory diseases have been increasing and these have been linked to rising air pollution, implying that air pollution facilitates viral infections. Forest cover should be increased to help reduce air pollution caused by fossil fuel combustion from road traffic. It is proposed that increasing the production of tolerant crops in mixed culture with trees can help to maintain tree cover. Agroforestry is becoming an important complement to the native forest in terms of protecting people from air pollution and respiratory disease. Keywords: agroforestry, tree protection against air pollution, land conversion, deforestation

“…The problem on climate change that tends to be more severe with impacts against people throughout the world is caused by increased content of greenhouse gas caused by human's living activities (Sugsaisakon & Kittipongvises 2021;Tian et al 2019;Uttaruk & Laosuwan 2018). Consequently, various countries have paid attention to and realized to prevent and solve this problem leading to the establishment of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC 2021) and Kyoto Protocol defining reduction of emission based on Common but Differentiated Responsibilities (Cirman et al 2009;Grubb, Vrolijk & Brack 1999;Nordhaus & Boyer 1999). Developed countries must set the goals to reduce emission of greenhouse gas whereas developing countries with no goal on emission reduction can participate in voluntary emission reduction based on Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) (Adhikari et al 2008;Aisen, Li & Dejuan 2011;Chantrawongphaisal 2015;Pablo 2007).…”

Currently climate change and global warming have significant impact on the environment toward biodiversity and human quality of life. Major cause derives from human activities that produce greenhouse gas emission especially the diffusion of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. One way to address global warming is to increase the absorption potential of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. The best natural method is forest adsorption whereby trees absorb carbon dioxide and store it in the form of biomass through photosynthesis. Therefore, forests are a highly efficient source of carbon sinks. The main objective of this research was to implement a methodology for greenhouse gas reduction and carbon sequestration assessments in forest sector according to Thailand's standards known as the Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (T-VER). According to climate change, reduction of greenhouse gas process will use methodology of T-VER-METH-FOR-01 Version 2 (Sustainable Forestation) and T-VER-TOOL-FOR/ AGR-01 Version 2 (Calculation for Carbon Sequestration). The Baseline Sequestration/Emission and Project Sequestration/ Emission as well as plant diversity assessment in project area as greenhouse gas activity will be used for the calculation. The results of this development of prototype project could be used for concluding content of greenhouse gas from 134.72 ha of the research area and it was shown that Baseline Sequestration was 19,618.95 tCO 2 e. When calculating Project Sequestration for 10 years, carbon content could be increased by 27,617.95 tCO 2 e calculated to be 800.61 tCO2e/yr. Therefore, total Project Sequestration was 8,006.13 tCO 2 e.
