“…Since the annual average concentration of PM 2.5 in this study was obtained from the nationally controlled ambient air quality monitoring sites, indoor and outdoor exposure were not distinguished, and the chemical compositions of indoor and outdoor air were not analyzed. Meanwhile, distinguishing between indoor and outdoor exposure of the population and studying the harm of different chemical compositions of PM 2.5 to human health are both the focuses and difficulties of future research [52]. With continuous research refinement, the management departments could cooperate with academic research institutions to develop a localized health effects database of residents' air pollution exposure.…”

On the basis of PM 2.5 data of the national air quality monitoring sites, local population data, and baseline all-cause mortality rate, PM 2.5 -related health economic benefits of the Air Improvement Action Plan implemented in Wuhan in 2013-2017 were investigated using health-impact and valuation functions. Annual avoided premature deaths driven by the average concentration of PM 2.5 decrease were evaluated, and the economic benefits were computed by using the value of statistical life (VSL) method. Results showed that the number of avoided premature deaths in Wuhan are 21,384 (95% confidence interval (CI): 15,004 to 27,255) during 2013-2017, due to the implementation of the Air Improvement Action Plan. According to the VSL method, the obtained economic benefits of Huangpi, These economic benefits added up to 64.35 billion RMB (95% CI: 45.15 to 82.02 billion RMB), accounting for 4.80% (95% CI: 3.37% to 6.12%) of the total GDP of Wuhan in 2017. Therefore, in the process of formulating a regional air quality improvement scheme, apart from establishing hierarchical emission-reduction standards and policies, policy makers should give integrated consideration to the relationship between regional economic development, environmental protection and residents' health benefits. Furthermore, for improving air quality, air quality compensation mechanisms can be established on the basis of the status quo and trends of air quality, population distribution, and economic development factors.

“…Environmental problems have become a serious social risk that need to be urgently solved all over the world. The public's voluntary pro-environmental behavior, including that of youths, is critical to achieve environmental sustainability [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Moreover, because college students will be the leaders of society and decision makers of public institutions, understanding their environmental concerns and behavior has great value for policymakers who want to improve environmental policy compliance and governance [7].…”

Mixed evidence exists regarding the relationship between environmental risk perception and pro-environmental behavior. This study uses an existing online survey conducted by the Center of Ecological Civilization (CEC) of China University of Geosciences from December 2015 to March 2016 and examines how cultural bias influences environmental risk perception and behavior. We found that an individual's pro-environmental behavior is not only influenced by environmental risk perception, but also by his or her cultural worldviews. Built on culture theory (CT), our empirical results suggest that young Chinese people are more located in "high-group" culture, where egalitarian culture and hierarchical culture dominate. The higher scores of hierarchical and egalitarian cultures of Chinese youth, the more likely they are to protect the environment. Moreover, the relationship between cultural worldviews and pro-environmental behaviors are mediated by perceived environmental risks. culture influences pro-environmental behavior directly. This study also tries to test the generalizability of CT by applying CT to non-Western countries.This paper uses an existing online survey conducted by the Center for Ecological Civilization of China University of Geosciences (CEC) from December 2015 to March 2016. Our sample includes 8084 students from 152 universities in 30 provinces across China, who were surveyed on the Internet. This research makes contributions in four aspects. First, this large-scale data allows us to map the distribution of environmental risk perception and pro-environmental behavior among young people in China. Second, this paper is the first research testing the influence of individuals' cultural worldviews on pro-environmental behavior in China. More specifically, we test the effects of culture worldviews, environmental risk perception and other control variables, including knowledge and demographics, on pro-environmental behavior. Third, this paper analyzes how the relationship between risk culture and pro-environmental behavior is mediated by an individual's cultural bias. Fourth, Douglas (1982) used the "grid-group" framework to analyze how the relations between individuals and society determine people's perception of risk. CT was then introduced by Wildavsky to study politics in the United States and was applied to many western countries [23]. However, there is only a few pieces of research on China [21,22]. This study will contribute to improve CT's generalizability by applying CT to Chinese context and providing some implications for measuring culture based on existing research.The paper starts with a review of CT and its application in China. Based on the theory and existing research on the relationships among cultures, environmental risk perception, and pro-environmental behavior, we suggest three sets of research hypotheses in Section 2. Section 3 introduces data, variables, and methods used to test our hypotheses. Section 4 describes the result of our data testing and examines its robustness. Section 5 is t...

The etiology and pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) have not yet been clearly described. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the onset and progression of PD. Some pesticides have been demonstrated to be associated with PD by many previous studies and experiments, and an increasing number of researchers have paid attention to this area in recent years. This paper aims to explore the knowledge structure, analyze the current research hot spots, and discuss the research trend through screening and summarizing the present literature. Based on 1767 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection and PubMed database, this study carried out the analysis from the keywords, cited references, countries, authors, and some other aspects by using Citespace. The hot topics, valuable articles, and productive authors in this research field could be found after that. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to specifically visualize the relationship between pesticide exposure and PD, and forecast research tendency in the future.
