“…The eco‐transportation seekers (cluster1) recognize major constraints which may justify their willingness to use eco‐friendly transportation during their stay. This suggests that a negative perception of a destination's AQ stimulates visitors to act in an environmentally sustainable way, such as using public transportation or giving priority to less polluting vehicles, which corroborates the results found by Gu et al (2015) and Jokar et al (2020). However, these findings are contrary to those of Wu and Geng (2020), who report a negative effect of air pollution on the willingness to implement pro‐environmental behaviors at a destination.…”

“…Specifically, the willingness to pay more taxes to improve the environment or the propensity to adopt environmentally friendly transportation were related to the perception of air pollution. Jokar et al (2020) evidenced that pro‐environmental behaviors tended to increase according to people's perception of air pollution, specifically by engaging in environmental protection actions or higher propensity to pay for improved AQ, as in Gu et al (2015). Similarly, Sheng et al (2020) concluded that perceiving poor AQ improves one's intention to contribute to environmental protection.…”

“…The literature argues that the adoption of pro‐environmental behaviors is induced by people's perception of AQ conditions (Gu et al, 2015; Jokar et al, 2020; Ming et al, 2022; Sheng et al, 2020; Wu & Geng, 2020). However, no unanimity was found among these studies.…”

Due to the growing awareness concerning environmental problems, specifically air pollution, it is crucial to understand the relationship between perceptions of air quality and the pro‐environmental behaviors of visitors. This study segments visitors based on self‐reported pro‐environmental behaviors. A survey was carried out in Portugal (N = 602). Three clusters with different pro‐environmental profiles emerged: eco‐transportation seekers; environmentally committed visitors; and environmentally insensitive visitors. Differences were detected among the clusters regarding pro‐environmental behaviors at home, environmental attitudes, perception of the destination air quality, and perception of the impact of air quality on health, as well as sociodemographic and travel characteristics.

“…Considering that most of the above-mentioned factors, especially the increasing rate of overweight/obesity, cesarean section, lifestyle modification and air pollution, are present in our community [62][63][64] , it is suggested that the interaction of the factors might result in a higher incidence rate of type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, the role of each factor separately should be evaluated in future studies.…”

Aims/Introduction We aimed to determine the incidence trend of childhood type 1 diabetes mellitus in Isfahan province over a period of 12 years. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, children aged <20 years at the time of type 1 diabetes mellitus diagnosis, from March 2007 to March 2019, were included. The crude and adjusted incidence rate of type 1 diabetes mellitus is calculated as the number of cases per 100,000 person‐years by the period. The cumulative, age‐ and sex‐specific incidence rates were also calculated. Age‐specific incidence rates were calculated for age and sex groups. Results A total of 1,954 (983 boys and 971 girls) cases of type 1 diabetes mellitus were identified. The mean age at diagnosis in all studied populations was 9.89 (standard deviation 4.76). There were no significant differences between the proportion of boys and girls in different years (P = 0.12) and different age groups (P = 0.19). The average annual percent change of incidence rate for the total population, for girls and boys, was 6.9%, 6.7% and 6.3% respectively. The type 1 diabetes mellitus incidence rate had a significant trend to be increased from 2007 to 2019 (P < 0.001, t = 3.6). Conclusion Our findings showed that currently our region is considered a region with a high incidence rate of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Although we have had fluctuations in the incidence rate over the 12 years, the overall trend is increasing.

“…Individuals’ perceptions and acceptable risk levels of smog pollution can prompt individual behavioral changes and play a vital role in individuals’ response to health risks (Huang et al , 2017). Previous studies have illustrated that smog risk perception can lead to positive individual behavioral changes (Huang and Yang, 2020), such as reducing exposure to smog pollution (Kim et al , 2020) and improving pro-environmental behavior (Jokar et al , 2020). As a form of disastrous weather, smog pollution significantly affects firms’ normal operations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the main effect of top executive smog risk perception on green innovation and to examine the mediating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the positive relationship between smog risk perception and green innovation along with the moderating role of smog knowledge. Design/methodology/approach A theoretical framework is developed based on the upper echelons theory to argue that top executive smog risk perception can be closely related to green innovation. Hierarchical analysis is conducted using a sample of eight firms in China. Findings Hypothesis testing indicates that physical health risk perception and mental health risk perception positively affect green innovation, and that these effects are positively mediated by CSR. In addition, smog knowledge moderates the relationship between physical health risk perception and green innovation. Research limitations/implications The findings extend current studies on green innovation by highlighting the role of top executives’ perceptions beyond studying top executives’ attributes. The findings suggest that top executives should actively respond to smog pollution and fulfill CSR. Originality/value Previous studies have suggested that top executives’ demographic characteristics are the determining factors of green innovation. This empirical paper fills a gap in the literature by exploring the impact of top executive smog risk perception on green innovation within the framework of the upper echelons theory.
