This study develops a spatial visualization model to estimate carbon emissions in Southeast Asia using calibrated nighttime light data, with DMSP-OLS (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Operational Linescan System) and NPP-VIIRS (National Polar-orbiting Partnership Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) standardized through polynomial regression and machine learning to ensure consistency. Emissions in Southeast Asia increased by 2.51 times from 1992 to 2022, shifting from gradual to rapid growth. Validation against Open-source Data Inventory for Anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> (ODIAC) and Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) shows strong agreement in high-emission urban areas but discrepancies in low-emission rural regions due to data sparsity and satellite sensor limits. Spatial analysis reveals that major Southeast Asian cities and their peripheries exhibit robust, sustained growth, while rural, less-developed areas show slower trends, highlighting persistent urban-rural disparities. These urban regions demonstrate a “circular economy advantage”, where per-unit-area carbon emissions steadily rise in economically advantageous zones. Despite high model accuracy, uncertainties persist due to variations in regional economic activities and the limitations of satellite-based emission proxies. Forecasts suggest elevated emission levels in major cities will continue, while changes in other areas remain relatively minimal. Consequently, achieving a low-carbon economy in Southeast Asia requires a top-down approach, emphasizing infrastructure enhancement, resource and energy optimization, and fostering a sustainable, circular socio-economic system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":"4 2","pages":"Article 100150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143922725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Upon comprehensive evaluation of updated NBSAPs of 47 parties and updated national targets of 126 parties, we proposed pathways that could better inform the updating processes. First, the essential elements of the goals and targets of the GBF applicable to national circumstances should be equivalently translated into national policies and instruments. Second, when specific national circumstances do not match with those essential elements, parties need to determine their own national biodiversity targets based on their situation but in a way that maintains and reflects the ambition of the GBF. Furthermore, the key factors that promote the success of biodiversity conservation are highlighted in terms of the target alignment with the GBF, the ownership enhancement, and the capacity building. We anticipate that these measures could facilitate immediate actions to update the NBSAPs to align with the GBF at the highest level while remaining cost-effectiveness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":"4 2","pages":"Article 100147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143922958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Annual concentrations of BTEX were estimated using a chemistry-climate model, and the associations between BTEX and incident overall and 18 site-specific cancers were investigated with Cox proportional hazard models. We also fitted restricted cubic splines to explore the exposure-response relationships. The study sample comprised 409,579 participants [mean age 56.2 (8.11) years; 219,315 (53.5%) females]. Over a mean (SD) follow-up period of 11.2 (2.64) years (4,597,164 person-years), 60,777 overall incident cancer cases occurred. The results showed significant associations between overall cancers and benzene [HR 1.93 (95% CI: 1.89, 1.96)], toluene [1.25 (1.23, 1.26)] and xylene [1.11 (1.10, 1.12)].

For xylenes (a summation of ethylbenzene, m/p-xylene, and o-xylene in the model), significant associations with multiple myeloma, hepatobiliary tract, thyroid, or connective soft tissue were not observed.

This review explored the known effects of aging on MNPs and identified several key perspectives. Firstly, aging can alter the environmental fate and transport of MNPs due to changes in their surface properties. This alteration accelerates their accumulation in specific habitats like oceans and soils, resulting in increased bioaccumulation by organisms. In addition, aged MNPs interact differently with living organisms than their pristine counterparts by influencing the attachment of biofilms and other microorganisms in aquatic ecosystems. Moreover, the aging processes of MNPs exhibit adverse effects on aquatic and terrestrial organisms via increasing the bioavailability and potential toxicity of MNPs as degradation products are released. Last but not least, the biodegradation potential of MNPs can be altered by the aging process, thus affecting their degradation rates and pathways in the environment. However, there are still knowledge gaps regarding the natural aging behaviors of MNPs, such as the aging mechanisms of different types of plastic, the influence of environmental factors, the release of pollutants, and even the effects of aging on their transformation in different ecosystems. Therefore, a great contribution can be made to sustainable plastic use and environmental preservation by studying the natural aging of common MNPs and their subsequent biological effects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":"4 1","pages":"Article 100138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143474250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
