The authors conducted a household survey in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, to understand the extent to which climate change perceptions and the sociodemographic characteristics of households influence their reported mitigation performances and their perceived mitigation efforts.
The authors examined associations between the sociodemographic composition of Gulf Coast census tracts and the density of petrochemical facilities that reported releases in the month following Hurricane Harvey by calculating a Hurricane Harvey petrochemical hazard density index (PHDI) based on the locations of 42 facilities with reported releases along the Texas Gulf Coast and using sociodemographic data from the American Community Survey to examine census tract-level social inequalities in PHDI (n = 1099 tracts).
Existing research on the relationship between economic growth and environmental impact has produced mixed results. Also, there has been a lack of attention on the effect of population, and per capita measures are used rather than total pollution.
This paper explores the impacts of climate change and human activities on the structure and functioning of ecosystems, with emphasis on quantifying the magnitude and distribution of carbon (C) pools and C sequestration in China’s terrestrial ecosystems.
Relationships between population, environment and industrial processes are reciprocal and vary according to the geographic and time scale on which they occur. The reciprocal impacts between population, environment, and industrial activity may occur from a local to global scale and may emerge over the short-term or long term. In all instances they are mediated by social and economic factors. As a result, the formulation of policy which responds to these characteristics requires the coordination, collection and integrated analysis of multisectoral information at global and local levels.
The paper examines how the health risk from industrial toxins varies by the 19 most commonly used residential segregation measures using segregation measures for the 331 Metropolitan/Primary Metropolitan (M/PMSA) in the continental United States.
The paper examines associations between air toxics risk estimates from multiple pollutant sources and grade point averages among a representative, population based sample of 1895 fourth and fifth graders in El Paso, Texas, USA.
This study used four data sets (i.e., census, environmental, geographical, and GHG emission data) for seven metropolitan cities and 155 county equivalents to analyze how population dynamics affect GHG emissions.
In this paper, land use change patterns over 35 years were analysed to show the impacts of urbanization with respect to continued growth and to examine the capabilities of integrating remote sensing and GIS in studying the spatial coastal land use changes.
In this paper, the model is analyzed using stability theory of differential equations with rsults showing that increase in human population intensify the depletion in concentration of dissolved oxygen in a water body.
