The sources and total emissions of 16 PAHs in China were studied. The total PAH emissions in China showed a decreasing trend between 2014 and 2020, from 39236.15 tons in 2014 to 35211.01 tons, with a 10.26% reduction in total emissions. During 2014-2020, household coal combustion has been as the...

Growth and development in middle- and low-income countries often come at an environmental cost, but is that trade-off always necessary? This study uses a computable general equilibrium model to estimate the macroeconomic and environmental impact of the world's most significant plurilateral trade...
