The Relationship

China has undergone rapid urban expansion in recent decades. At the same time, environmental pollution and its risk to public health have increased. However, the relationship between urban land-use changes and health is ambiguous and insufficiently understood. Based on a typical city-scale case—namely, Changzhou, China—this research aimed to interpret the evolution of health risks alongside land-use change during the process of urbanization. We gathered data from multiple sources, including population mortality data, socioeconomic data, remote-sensing images, data for the points of interest of enterprises, and relevant information on environmental health events and cancers. The results showed that Changzhou’s urbanization was typical insofar as it was characterized by massive growth in industry, a rapid increase in the urban population, and urban land expansion. Health risks related to environmental pollution increased considerably with urban land expansion over time, and they increased with proximity to the pollution. The results from a generalized linear model confirmed that Changzhou’s urbanization triggered increasing health risks. Our study interpreted the relationship between urban land expansion and health risks from a spatiotemporal perspective. It can be used as a reference for urban planning and policymaking with regard to urban environmental health.

Land Economic

Economic development, environmental protection and land resources are important components in sustainable cities. According to the environmental Kuznets curve, developing countries are prone to environmental pollution problems while developing their economies. At the same time, as urbanization progresses, the problem of inadequate land resources and land use efficiency in China is coming to the fore. Although China is a developing country, it began to actively implement environmental protection measures years ago in an effort to transform itself into an innovative country. Therefore, as an economic and policy pioneer region, can eastern China benefit from all three aspects of land–economy–environment at the same time? Or will the increase in land economic efficiency (Land_EcoE) and the improvement of environmental pollution occur simultaneously? With the characteristics of land use efficiency and other concepts, this study combines economic factors and land factors to establish a Land_EcoE evaluation system. On the basis of mapping the spatio-temporal evolution of carbon emissions and Land_EcoE, and discussing the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics and correlation between them initially and visually by means of geographic data visualization, this study uses the data of 84 prefecture-level cities and municipalities directly under the central government in eastern China from 2011 to 2017 to test the research hypotheses from a quantitative perspective. Specifically, this study analyzes the correlation between Land_EcoE and environmental pollution by constructing a panel regression model. The conclusions show that, in general, the increase in Land_EcoE in eastern China is associated with the increase in carbon emissions. For a group of prefecture-level cities with the most developed economies in eastern China, the increase in Land_EcoE is correlated with the decrease in carbon emissions. Based on this research, this study proposes a series of policy implications on how to promote simultaneous economic–land–environmental benefits.

Joint Policy

This paper presents a linear-programming model for the formulation of a joint policy for land use and environmental pollution. The theoretical framework is an extension of the residential-location model originally suggested by Herbert and Stevens (1960). Environmental policy is introduced by setting environmental standards which can be spatially differentiated. According to the characteristics of the diffusion process and of the discharge location of the residuals into the environment, these standards can be expressed as the permissible concentration of pollutants, the total allowable pollutant emission, or the required treatment of the residuals. The model considers the locational choice of the various urban activities as well as the available technological alternatives for residual treatment. In the analysis of the dual it is shown that a policy which uses environmental standards can efficiently be implemented by using a system of emission or pollution licenses, performance standards, and zoning restrictions.

Suitable Area

Suitability of industrial land use in Nanfen District of Benxi City, a famous industrial-mining town in China, was evaluated in terms of niche fitness model. Results indicated the most suitable, sub suitable, barely suitable and unsuitable area for industrial land use in Nanfen was 91.23 km2, 182.72 km2, 182.08 km2 and 162.97 km2, respectively. Spatially, the most suitable and sub suitable areas were mainly distributed in urban area, and barely suitable areas were chiefly located in Xiamatang town, however, unsuitable areas were mostly scattered in Sishanling town. Industrial activity should be arranged in the most suitable area, so as to match actual resource niche and minimize environmental pollution and ecological damage.

Oleh karena itu dimanfaatkan dengan teknologi biogas. Tujuan kegiatan adalah menangani limbah ternak babi guna mengatasi pencemaran lingkungan sekaligus meningkatan kesadaran dan ketrampilan masyarakat dan penyelesaian masalah ekonomi dari segi pemanfaatan limbah sebagai biogas. Metode kegiatan yakni penyuluhan, demplot, dan pendampingan. Hasil kegiatan adalah melakukan instalasi biogas, penyuluhan manajemen pemelihaaan ternak dan pemanfaatn feces sebagai pupuk, demplot pengisian digester dan pembukaan lahan untuk penanaman sayuran dan rumput, dan pendampingan pemanfaatan sludge.  Kesimpulannya kegiatan menghasilkan keuntungan berupa pemanfaatan feces menjadi biogas, mengurangi dampak polusi, meningkatkan pemanfaatan lahan, dan menghasilkan keuntungan serta diharapkan akan mendorong peran pemerintah dalam optimalisasi teknologi zero waste pada peternak babi dan hewani lainnya di NTT. Kata kunci: Babi, Biogas, Demplot, Feces                                                         Abstract The maintenance of pigs in the Watu Kusa and Het Fen groups does not pay attention to the waste causing pollution. Therefore it is utilized with biogas technology. The objective of the activity is to handle pig livestock waste in order to overcome environmental pollution as well as to increase community awareness and skills and solve economic problems in terms of waste utilization as biogas. Method of activity that is counseling, demplot, and mentoring. The result of the activity is to install biogas, counseling the management of livestock maintenance and stool utilization as fertilizer, demplot filling digester and clearing land for vegetable and grass planting, and sludge utilization assistance. In conclusion, the activities resulted in the advantages of using feces into biogas, reducing the impact of pollution, increasing land use, and generating profits and expected to encourage the government's role in optimizing zero waste technology in other pig and animal breeders in NTT. Keywords:  Pig, Biogas, demonstration Plots, Waste

Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
