Abstract A study of the dispersed composition of dust for various types of repair in warehouses has been carried out. The data on the concentration of dust emissions inside the premises were obtained. The dependence of the dust concentration on the distance from the place of work, the size of the emitted particles, the area of the room and the time spent on the work is built. An assessment is given of the impact of reconstruction work in warehouses on environmental pollution by dust emissions. The concentration and ratio of PM2.5 to PM10 particles were calculated to determine dustiness and negative impact on the environment.

Based on the panel data of 224 prefecture-level and above cities in China from 2003 to 2016, this paper empirically studies the impact of urban sprawl on air pollution and introduces a mediating effect model to test the mediating role of vehicle ownership concerning the impact of urban sprawl on air pollution. The research in this paper arrives at three conclusions. First, urban sprawl has a significant positive effect on air pollution, and this conclusion is still valid after solving the endogeneity problem and conducting a robustness test. Second, the results of mediating effect test show that urban sprawl indirectly affects air pollution through the partial mediating effect of vehicle ownership. By removing the mediating effect, urban sprawl has a significant negative impact on air pollution, indicating that the mediating effect of vehicle ownership is higher concerning the impact of urban sprawl on air pollution. Third, further panel quantile regression results show that the higher the level of air pollution, the weaker the mediating effect of vehicle ownership and the stronger the direct effect of urban sprawl on air pollution. These conclusions can provide some empirical support for solving the air pollution problems caused by urban sprawl in China.

Abstract The article focuses on the selected aspects of introducing a resolution by a self-government of a province, which allows to determine the acceptable types and quality of fuels. The impact of polluted air on human health is significant. The actions carried out by the local authorities should be aimed on seeking effective air protection remedies; nonetheless, the scale of these activities seems to be still insignificant. One of the legal mechanisms is introducing resolutions determining the acceptable types and quality of fuels by a self-government of a province in order to protect the health of Polish residents and reduce the negative impact of air pollution on the environment. The question, however, is whether such resolutions could be audited with respect to the execution of such a resolution and whether they effectively lead to air quality improvement.

China’s “industrial restructuring” has expanded the proportion of the tertiary industry in the economy and promoted the development of local tourism. The ongoing “industrial structure upgrading” is intended to make the industry bigger and stronger, which will promote the growth of local tourism. As a tourist resort, nature reserves have been attracting a large number of tourists and have great development potential and economic value. Under this situation, various management agencies of nature reserves have successively carried out tourism activities and carried out tourism development and construction. However, there is no doubt that both tourism activities and development will have an impact on the ecological system of nature reserves. The existing legal system of nature reserves in China emphasizes the prohibition of behaviors that directly destroy the ecological environment and ignores the impact of human tourism activities. The continuous increase in the number of tourism in our country, brought on nature reserves of rich tourist income at the same time, a large number of facts show that tourism has become a source of environmental pollution, so it is necessary for tourism environmental pollution the main way to do a summary and its particularity, summing up the basic law of tourism affect the environment, thus provide the basis for strengthening the environmental protection from the point of view of tourism management. The emergence and development of tourism culture is inseparable from the influence of the environment, and tourism culture also affects the environment. The negative effects and negative effects of tourism culture development on the environment are becoming more and more evident, which has aroused people’s general concern. In recent years, the negative impact of tourism and cultural activities on the environment has been paid much attention to by many scholars at home and abroad. This paper discusses the impact of tourism activities on nature reserves, and discusses the causes of this problem, so as to analyze the strategies to ensure the harmony and order of nature reserves in tourism activities.

Recently, behavioral finance researchers have produced many articles about moods effect on financial market. Weather factors and sports sentiments have a significant impact on moods and then the moods affect financial market. Air pollution also has an effect on financial market. This paper's hypothesis is that air pollution has a meaningful negative impact on the stock market in South Korea. This paper uses the Granger Causality for checking the significances and the Vector Auto-Regression model and the Impulse Response Function for investigating its impact according to time. Furthermore, this paper uses the 2SLS method for resolving endogeneity problems and checking robustness. If the level of air pollution increases 100 ??/?3, then the stock return reduces 0.42 after one day, and then recovers. The effect is significant at the 1% level and similar with the 2SLS method. Finally, this paper introduces air pollution momentum strategy that maximizes the cumulative return and measures the key variable's performance.

The Impact

While economic growth has been the main goal of countries around the world, environmental problems such as air pollution have also arisen. Since the increase in economic uncertainty is limiting production capacity and consumers’ marginal propensity to consume, which reduces CO2 emissions, economic policy uncertainty has become one of the most important factors affecting CO2 emissions. COVID-19 has demonstrated that economic policy uncertainty reduces the enthusiasm of market participants, which, in turn, reduces energy demand and CO2 emissions. In order to further study the impact of economic policy uncertainty on air pollution, this study uses a panel model to empirically test the data for a sample of 15 countries covering the period from 1997 to 2019. According to the empirical results, we find that the economic policy uncertainty has a significant negative impact on per capita CO2 emissions. That is, the higher the uncertainty of economic policy, the lower the per capita CO2 emissions of countries. What’s more, this negative effect is larger in emerging market countries than in advanced countries.

Экономическое развитие всех регионов основано на доступе людей к товарам и услугам, которые обеспечиваются современной транспортной инфраструктурой. Автомобильный транспорт является основным способом транспортировки грузов и населения. В то же время положительные аспекты использования транспорта тесно связаны с такими негативными аспектами, как загрязнение окружающей среды и отрицательным влиянием на здоровье человека. На территории Республики Северная Осетия - Алания наибольший вклад в загрязнение окружающей среды вносит деятельность предприятий цветной металлургии и автотранспорта. Более 30 предприятий находится в промышленном узле г. Владикавказа, и их деятельность в той или иной мере связана с загрязнением атмосферного воздуха. Значительный вклад в загрязнение воздуха вносит автотранспорт, количество которого в г. Владикавказе, по данным Федеральной службы государственной статистики, за последние 20 лет увеличилось более чем в 2 раза. Цель исследования. Изучение основных источников загрязнения окружающей среды автомобильным транспортом, исследование взаимосвязей между уровнем загрязнения среды, интенсивностью движения и экологическим классом автомобильного транспорта. Установление показателя загрязнения окружающей среды автомобильным транспортом, характеризующего степень воздействия на окружающую среду и здоровье населения. Методы исследования. В ходе настоящей работы были собраны и проанализированы все имеющиеся данные по динамике объемов выбросов от стационарных источников и автотранспорта на территории РСО-А за 1997–2015 гг. Указанные данные обрабатывались с помощью корреляционного и регрессионного анализов. Результаты работы. Результаты исследований позволили установить, что прослеживается прямая зависимость или тренд между плотностью потока машин и загрязнением воздушной среды. Установлено, что выбросы от автомобильного транспорта на порядок превосходят стационарные источники. Предложен суммарный показатель Zатм загрязнения атмосферного воздуха, рассчитываемый как сумма отношений концентрации отдельных загрязнителей к соответствующим значениям ПДК за вычетом количества используемых показателей. The economic development of any country is based on the access of population to goods and services that are provided by modern transport infrastructure. Currently, road transport is the most common way of transporting goods and people. At the same time, the positive aspects of using transport are closely related to such negative aspects as environmental pollution and negative impact on public health. On the territory of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, the largest contribution to environmental pollution is made by the activities of non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises and vehicles. More than 30 enterprises are located in the industrial hub of the city of Vladikavkaz, and their activities to one degree or another are associated with atmospheric air pollution. A significant contribution to air pollution is made by motor vehicles.Their number in Vladikavkaz has more than doubled over the past 20 years, according to the Federal State Statistics Service. Aim. Study of the main sources of pollution of an urbanized area by road transport. The research and identification of the relationship between the level of environmental pollution, traffic intensity and the ecological class of road transport and the establishment of an indicator of environmental pollution by road transport, characterizing the degree of impact on the environment and safety of the population. Methods. In the course of this study, all the available data on the dynamics of emissions from stationary sources and vehicles on the territory of North Ossetia-A for 1997–2015 were collected and analyzed. These data were processed using correlation and regression analyzes. Results.The research results made it possible to establish that there is a direct relationship or trend between the flow density of cars and air pollution. It was found that emissions from road transport exceed stationary sources by an order of magnitude. A total indicator Zatm of atmospheric air pollution is proposed, calculated as the sum of the ratios of the concentration of individual pollutants to the corresponding MPC values minus the number of indicators used.

The Impact

The rapid economic development of China and the industrial shift from its eastern to western provinces have resulted in significant negative impacts on the environment. Recently, tourism has emerged as an alternative for economic and environmental development, but it is a double-edged sword. Without the required measures to protect environment, the opportunity cost of tourism is environmental degradation. The western part of China holds a significant advantage for the development of travel and tourism (T&T), due to One Belt One Road (OBOR), unique ancient culture and spectacular variety of natural scenic spots. This region is among the less explored and less developed, but important, parts of China. Taking this point into consideration, this paper aims to examine the impact of tourism on the environmental pollution of five provinces located in the heart of OBOR over the period of 1991–2016. To explore this link, we used the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) approach and Gregory-Hansen test for robustness check. We applied the Zivot-Andrews unit root test to deal with structural breaks in data. Our results confirm a negative impact of tourism on environment for Ningxia, Qinghai, Gansu, and Shanxi. However, tourism improves the environmental quality of Xinjiang. The negative impact of energy consumption and GDP growth is significant than tourism. Our findings suggest that the relationship varies for different provinces in the same region depending on the specific provincial features and government policies. Furthermore, tourism development has great potential to improve the economic and environmental sustainability in these provinces.

The problem of nature protection for the Vinnytsia region, most of the territory of which is experiencing almost uncontrolled intensive economic activity, is very relevant. Natural conditions and resources of Vinnytsia region are diverse and unique, the issue of their rational use is still insufficiently studied. Preservation of modern nature, increase of its riches, is impossible without research of available resources in the territory. Diagnosing minerals, the presence of rare plants, all available resources will help us to better understand the current situation and predict the future state of nature in the region, the possibility of its reconstruction not only by preserving but also creating new environmental facilities. Modern development of human activity is often harmful to the environment due to the growth of urban planning, industrial production, traffic. Therefore, there is pollution of water, air, soil, which negatively affects the health of the population, poses a threat to the environment, exacerbates environmental problems. Environmental pollution by industrial waste has a negative impact on the quality of natural resources, reducing their productivity or making them unusable, which reduces the economic potential of the region and the enterprise. The influence of the ecological factor on the production potential is manifested in the action of environmental pollution on the economic resources of the enterprise, reducing the efficiency of their reproduction and use. Such an impact is observed mainly at the stage of use and during the reproduction and development of production potential. The economic resources of the enterprise are exposed to the polluted environment in the form of industrial waste. As a result, the number of functioning resources decreases, their qualitative characteristics change. Reducing the number of resources and their quality indicators leads to a shortage of resources over time and to a change (decrease) in overall productivity. Thus, the real fund of time of equipment use decreases, labor productivity, equipment capacity, return of material and raw materials decreases (Lukyanikhin 2018).
