The article presents calculations of probability of human exposure to atmospheric ecotoxicants based on the use of probit function for technogenic environmental accidents having already occurred in the small cities of Armyansk, Balashikha and Sibay. For example, the dependence of the probability of human exposure on the time of exposure to H2S toxicant near the Kuchino waste landfill (Balashikha, Moscow region) in the case of 5 to 625 times the maximum permissible H2 S concentrations (MPC) has been obtained. With 60% probability, a human as a bioindicator will feel the impact in 1000 s at 5 MPC, and in 1 s – at 625 MPC with the same probability. Similar calculations have been made for SO2 and other toxicants. The SO2 hazard level is lower than that of H2 S, so the time interval for exposure to ecotoxicants is longer. In the absence of appropriate devices for monitoring gases at potentially dangerous objects, the considered assessment method can be used for predictive tasks to assess the likelihood of exposure of human health to toxicants at different levels of air pollution and to make management decisions on the advance preparation of means to protect the population. The introduction of the best available technologies, like in the European countries, can increase the level of environmental safety in Russia

The Impact

A poluição do ar é influenciada por fatores naturais e antropogênicos. Quatro pontos de monitoramento (veicular, comercial, residencial e background urbano (BGU))da poluição do ar em São Paulo foram avaliados durante 16 anos, revelando diferenças significativas devidoao uso do solo em todas as escalas temporais. Na escala diurna, as concentrações de poluentes primários são duas vezes mais altas nos pontos veicular e residencial do que no ponto BGU, onde a concentração de ozonio (O3) é 50% mais alta. Na escala sazonal, as concentrações de monóxido de carbono(CO) variaram em 80% devido ao uso do solo, e 55% pela sazonalidade.As variações sazonais ede uso do solo exercem impactos similares nas concentrações de O3 e monóxido de nitrogênio (NO). Para o material particulado grosso (MP10) e o dióxido de nitrogênio(NO2), as variações sazonais são mais intensas do que as por uso do solo. Na série temporal de 16 anos, o ponto BGU apresentou correlações mais fortes e significativas entre a média mensal de ondas longas (ROL) e o O3 (0,48) e o MP10 (0,37), comparadas ao ponto veicular (0,33 e 0,22, respectivamente). Estes resultados confirmam que o uso do solo urbano tem um papel significativo na concentração de poluentes em todas as escalas de análise, embora a sua influência se torne menos pronunciada em escalas maiores, conforme a qualidade do ar transita de um sistema antropogênico para um sistema natural. Isto poderá auxiliar decisões sobre políticas públicas em megacidades envolvendo a modificação do uso do solo.

Firm Entry And Exit

The impact of environmental regulation has been an important topic. Based on the Chinese Custom Database and China City Statistical Yearbook, this paper investigates the effect of environmental regulation on export values and explores potential mechanisms and heterogeneous effects. Taking advantage of China’s first comprehensive air pollution prevention and control plan, the Air Pollution Control in Key Zones policy, as a quasi-natural experiment, we employ the difference-in-differences method to examine the causal relationship between environmental regulation and exports. We find the statistically significant and negative effect of environmental regulation on exports at the city level. Moreover, we find that the potential mechanism is the change in export values caused by firm entry and exit, especially by exiters, rather than the change in the number of exporting firms in the city caused by firm entry and exit. In addition, we find the heterogeneous effects of environmental regulation based on the differences of environmental policy across cities and the Broad Economic Categories classification.
