“…Urbanization is a process of urban expansion caused by industrialization and economic development ( 14 ), and promotes economic growth by expanding demand ( 15 ). Industrialization intensifies the contradiction between environmental protection and economic growth and causes health problems, which reduce the harm of industrial waste gas emission to population health ( 16 ). Compared with rural areas, the positive effect of urbanization on health is reflected in the fact that cities have better employment opportunities and incomes, better educational and medical resources, and closer social ties ( 17 , 18 ).…”

This paper explores the relationship between urbanization rate and death incidence by applying panel threshold regression model to the inland provinces of China. The empirical results highlight that there is a nonlinear single threshold effect between urbanization and population health indicators. In China's inland provinces, the negative impact of urbanization on death rate is reduced when per capita GDP exceeds the threshold, that is, the positive impact of urbanization on population health is significantly weakened. Similarly, this result can also be applied to the north provinces, while there is a no threshold effect in south. These asymmetric effects are strongly related to geographical location, historical background, economic development conditions, and health policies. Therefore, in the urbanization process, while promoting the steady development of population urbanization, the government should also increase health investment to improve the system and mechanism, formulate policies to raise health awareness, protect residents' health and reduce the waste of health resources.

The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown supposedly provided a ‘window’ of reinstatement to natural resources including the air quality, but the scenario after the phased unlocking is yet to be explored. Consequently, here we evaluated the status of air quality during the 8th phase of unlocking of COVID-19 lockdown (January 2021) at three locations of North India. The first site (S1) was located at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana-PPCB; the second site (S2) at Yamunapuram, Bulandshahr-UPPCB; and the third site (S3) at Okhla Phase-2, Delhi-DPCC. The levels of PM2.5 showed a significant increase of 525.2%, 281.2%, and 185.0% at sites S1, S2 and S3, respectively in the unlock 8 (January 2021), in comparison to its concentration in the lockdown phase. Coherently, the levels of PM10 also showed a prominent increase of 284.5%, 189.1%, and 103.9% at sites S3, S1, and S2, respectively during the unlock 8 as compared to its concentration in the lockdown phase. This rise in the concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 could be primarily attributed to the use of biomass fuel, industrial and vehicular emissions, stubble burning considering the agricultural activities at sites S1 and S2. Site S3 is a major industrial hub and has the highest population density among all three sites. Consequently, the maximum increase (295.7%) in the NO 2 levels during the unlock 8 was witnessed at site S3. The strong correlation between PM2.5, PM10, and CO, along with the PM2.5/PM10 ratio confirmed the similar origin of these pollutants at all the three sites. The improvements in the levels of air quality during the COVID-19 lockdown were major overtaken during the various phases of unlocking consequent to the initiation of anthropogenic processes.

“…3 Indonesia tercatat pada tahun 2006-2020 memiliki 171 PLTU batu bara yang beroprasi dengan kapasitas 32.373 megawatt (Endcoal.org). Kenaikan emisi karbon sebesar 1% menambah jumlah pasien yang dirawat jalan sebesar 0,162% dan pasien yang rawat inap sebesar 0,162%, maka semakin bertambah emisi karbon akan semakin mengancam kesehatan masyarakat (Dong et al, 2021).…”

Prior studies on carbon emission disclosure have found conflicting results regarding the role of firm size, leverage, and financial performance in explaining carbon emission disclosure. This study attempts to probe the issue by introducing PROPER rating as mediating variable. Specifically, this study examines the role of PROPER rating in moderating the effect of firm size, financial performance, and leverage on carbon emission disclosure. Sample was selected from IDX for period of 2015-2019. As much as 150 firm observations were available for test of hypothesis. Using mediating regression analysis, results showed that company size is associated with PROPER rating. Leverage and financial performance have no effect on PROPER rating. In addition, while company size and leverage variable are associated with carbon emission disclosure, financial performs has no effect on carbon emission disclosure. PROPER rating can mediate the relationship between company size and carbon emission disclosure.
