This paper finds that the enforcement intensity of environmental regulations (ER) is not consistent among cities. The effects of strict ER on air pollution in local city are the inverted-U-shape curve. The effects of more stringent ER in adjacent cities <i>j</i> on air pollution in city <i>i</i> are the U-shape curve. The more stringent ER in local city may lead to the decrease in agglomeration of manufacturing sectors (AM), thereby reducing air pollution. The polluting firms may shift production from neighboring cities <i>j</i> with stringent ER to city <i>i</i> with lax ER, thereby leading to the increase in AM, which aggravate air pollution in city <i>i</i>. The more stringent ER in local city <i>i</i> may lead to the increase in agglomeration of productive service industry (AS), thereby reducing air pollution. To avoid the transfer of polluting industrial sectors, the paper suggests that the more stringent implementation of ER should become nationwide actions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"21 3","pages":"2585 - 2604"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13762-023-05143-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43537940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated the content and spatial distribution of heavy metals (HM) and key oxides in a partially abandoned experimental arable land in Salekhard city (Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, Russia). The concentrations of 11 elements (oxides): strontium (Sr), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), manganese oxide (MnO), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), iron oxide (Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) and titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) in the 0–10-cm layer were determined. The spatial correlation of elements was assessed using semi-variogram analysis. The results showed that Sr, Pb, As, Zn, Ni, Co, MnO, Cr, V, Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and TiO<sub>2</sub> contents ranged from 160 to 247 mg/kg, 4 to 30 mg/kg, 7 to 18 mg/kg, 35 to 80 mg/kg, 17 to 29 mg/kg, 0 to 16 mg/kg, 333 to 499 mg/kg, 71 to 140 mg/kg, 73 to 117 mg/kg, 2.8 to 4.6% and 0.5 to 1%, respectively. We found that approximately all properties exceeded the background values, but the average values of almost all elements did not exceed the maximum permissible concentrations levels, except for arsenic.

In the present paper, the MG dye removal from aqueous solutions by nickel oxide (NiO) is investigated; used NiO has been prepared using the precipitation method. Structural characterization and properties of the adsorbent were performed via various physicochemical methods such as X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and N<sub>2</sub> adsorption/desorption measurements. The results revealed that the maximum adsorption capacity and removal rate were 800 mg/g and about 99%, respectively. On the other hand, the adsorption kinetics follows the pseudo-second-order model. However, thermodynamics showed that: (i) Δ<i>S</i>° > 0 indicated an increase of disorder in the solid/liquid interface, (ii) Δ<i>H</i>° > 0 confirmed the endothermic nature of the adsorption process, and (iii) Δ<i>G</i>° < 0 demonstrated the spontaneous nature of MG adsorption. The calculated adsorption energies MCS/SAA <i>E</i><sub>Gas</sub> = − 409.638 kcal and <i>E</i><sub>Aqueous</sub> = − 416.856 kcal confirmed that the MG removal by adsorption on NiO is theoretically and experimentally favorable. In addition, MG molecules are adsorbed in a planar orientation on the NiO surface sites; the optimal interfacial contact is achieved. Finally, a mechanism was proposed to explain the adsorption of MG dye onto nickel oxide.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"21 3","pages":"3037 - 3052"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44173827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
