Abstract

This research examines the relationship between nuclear energy and environmental quality in Pakistan from 1971-2020 with the help of Fourier ARDL. In 2020, the use of fossil fuels, CO2 emissions, and the population had increased by 203.02%, 211.61%, and 101.18%, respectively, compared to 1990. This rise in contamination has caused a strain on the air quality in the country. To mitigate this, the use of nuclear energy increased from 0.18% in 1990 to 2.34% in 2020. The findings suggest that nuclear energy could be an effective policy for Pakistan if they want to improve its environmental quality. Additionally, it is projected that the detrimental externalities linked to pollution can be minimized in a year. Furthermore, with a 318% rise in energy imports in 2020 compared to 1990, it is vital for Pakistan to responsibly raise its utilization of nuclear energy to lessen its dependence on foreign energy sources and promote environmental quality. The economic repercussions of nuclear energy use in Pakistan are controversial; some studies suggest this increased usage might be impeding economic growth, while other studies suggest the opposite. This analysis seeks to examine the link between nuclear energy production and environmental damage using an appropriate method and scope.

利用傅里叶ARDL探索巴基斯坦核能与环境的相互作用

本研究借助傅里叶ARDL分析了1971-2020年巴基斯坦核能与环境质量之间的关系。2020年，化石燃料使用量、二氧化碳排放量和人口分别比1990年增长203.02%、211.61%和101.18%。污染的增加对这个国家的空气质量造成了压力。为了缓解这种情况，核能的使用从1990年的0.18%增加到2020年的2.34%。研究结果表明，如果巴基斯坦想要改善其环境质量，核能可能是一项有效的政策。此外，预计与污染有关的有害外部性可以在一年内减少到最低限度。此外，与1990年相比，巴基斯坦2020年的能源进口增长了318%，因此，负责任地提高核能利用率以减少对外国能源的依赖并促进环境质量至关重要。巴基斯坦使用核能的经济影响是有争议的;一些研究表明，这种使用量的增加可能会阻碍经济增长，而另一些研究则相反。这项分析力求以适当的方法和范围审查核能生产与环境破坏之间的联系。

期刊介绍： Acta Montanistica Slovaca publishes high quality articles on basic and applied research in the following fields: geology and geological survey; mining; Earth resources; underground engineering and geotechnics; mining mechanization, mining transport, deep hole drilling; ecotechnology and mineralurgy; process control, automation and applied informatics in raw materials extraction, utilization and processing; other similar fields. Acta Montanistica Slovaca is the only scientific journal of this kind in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe. The submitted manuscripts should contribute significantly to the international literature, even if the focus can be regional. Manuscripts should cite the extant and relevant international literature, should clearly state what the wider contribution is (e.g. a novel discovery, application of a new technique or methodology, application of an existing methodology to a new problem), and should discuss the importance of the work in the international context.
