Summary: The rapid expansion of the aquaculture industry has raised concerns about water pollution from aquaculture production facilities (APFs). However, the existing regulatory tools lack specific capabilities for estimating aquaculture-related pollution, especially from mariculture non-point sources (NPS). Therefore, there is a need for a guidance document to compile and summarize estimation methods.

Summary: This paper estimates the long-term effects of early childhood exposure to toxic chemicals, particularly airborne metals, on school-level standardized test performance. The study finds that higher levels of airborne toxicity, specifically chromium, during early childhood are associated with worse educational outcomes a decade later.

Summary: The study reveals that manufacturing facilities are more inclined to reduce toxic emissions into the environment under conditions of water scarcity, particularly in terms of reducing toxic releases into water. Additionally, water scarcity compels manufacturing facilities to undertake more technical and input modifications when facing difficulties, in order to decrease toxic emissions.

Summary: Environmental sustainability means meeting current needs without compromising future generations. This study examines the role of environmental management accounting and environmental proactivity in connecting pollution prevention strategies to environmental sustainability. The results show that pollution control initiatives increase the usage of environmental management accounting, which positively impacts environmental sustainability. The study highlights the importance of implementing pollution prevention strategies, integrating environmental management accounting practices, and fostering environmental proactivity for improved sustainability in SMEs.

Summary: Toxic chemicals have detrimental effects on the environment, climate, and human health, and their distribution is currently unfair across different regions. This study utilizes toxic release data in 2017 and extends the U.S. multi-regional input-output model to analyze the production and consumption-based accounting of toxic release by states and the inter-regional transfer of embodied toxic release. The findings demonstrate that the production-based toxic release is concentrated in central states and the Great Lakes Region, while consumption-based accounting shows more equal distribution across regions.

Summary: The release of toxic gases in urban environments is influenced by the structure of the city and its interaction with wind patterns, with vulnerability dependent on the city's topology and historical evolution. This study opens the door to assessing air pollution issues from a morphological perspective.

Summary: The study focused on the manufacturing sector of Pakistan and found that energy consumption and financial development intensify environmental degradation, while foreign direct investment and globalization help mitigate it. The study also confirmed the asymmetric relationship between energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

Summary: Additive manufacturing (AM) has advantages over conventional manufacturing, such as reduced lead times and material waste. This research compares wire + arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) with conventional forging in terms of their environmental impact on the production of a Ti6Al4V component. WAAM shows a 50% reduction in carbon emission, 40% reduction in energy consumption, and 55% reduction in material waste compared to forging.

Summary: Disparities in toxic water pollution from industrial facilities in urban Mexico are found to be more prevalent in marginalized and increasingly marginalized neighborhoods. However, there is no evidence for a relationship between toxic water pollution and indigenous race. The study suggests that environmental disparities may be driven by collective action, community pressure, and Coasian bargaining, rather than political economic or amenity-based sorting mechanisms.

Summary: This study examines the short-term effect of China's City Air Pollution Prevention and Control Program (CAPPCP) on firm exports. The findings indicate that the program has significantly reduced firm exports, especially for non-state-owned firms, small-scale firms, and firms in highly polluting industries.

Summary: Based on provincial panel data from 2004 to 2020, this paper theoretically analyzes and empirically tests the mechanism of environmental regulation affecting pollution emissions and the mediating effect of manufacturing technology's progress. The study found that manufacturing production technology has a crucial role in promoting the reduction of pollution emissions, and the progress of manufacturing technology acts as a crucial intermediary variable for environmental regulation to promote pollution reduction. These research conclusions have been tested and validated. Moreover, the study suggests policy recommendations such as promoting the upgrade of manufacturing technology and introducing environmental regulation policies to support innovation in energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies in the manufacturing sector.

Summary: The Chinese government has established the Environmental Complaint Reporting System to monitor and manage industrial water pollution in a timely manner. Empirical results suggest that increasing pressure to improve environmental quality would prompt the government to prevent industrial water pollution.
