“…Research and development (R&D) refers to systematic and creative activities in the field of science and technology aimed at increasing knowledge and the use of knowledge for new applications. The efficiency of science and technological services is conducive to pollution control [ 65 ]. Gross domestic product (GDP) refers to the final products produced by all residential units in a country during a certain period of time.…”

Haze pollution in China is very serious and has become the source of mortality, affecting the health and lives of residents. The Chinese government adopts different policy measures to reduce haze pollution. The impact of different types of environmental regulations on haze pollution has become a hot topic for academics and government departments. Based on panel data from 2005–2017, this paper studies the effect of different types of environmental regulations on haze pollution in 30 provinces of China using a panel quantile model. The results show that when haze pollution changes from a low quantile to a high quantile, the marginal impact of command-and-control environmental regulation on haze pollution changes from 0.122 to -0.332. Command-and-control environmental regulation can reduce haze pollution, but its impact is not significant. The main reason for this finding is that environmental law enforcement is not strict. The marginal impact of economically restrained environmental regulation on haze pollution changes from -14.389 to 49.939. Economically restrained environmental regulation can reduce haze pollution in low quantiles, but not in high quantiles. The collection of sewage charges fees is far less than the total profit, which has no deterrent effect on enterprises. The marginal impact of public participation in environmental regulation on haze pollution changes from 0.154 to -0.002. Public participation in environmental regulation cannot reduce haze pollution in low quantiles, but can in high quantiles; however its impact becomes insignificant. This study reveals the quantile-based discrepancy in the effect of environmental regulation on haze pollution, and offers a new perspective for research on the effects of environmental regulation.

“…Participating in agricultural technology training, social networks and information acquisition [35,36] may increase farmers' willingness to participate in the treatment of residual film [37] and reduce the use of agricultural film. In addition, technological innovation [38,39], environmental regulations [40] and industrial upgrading [41] can also reduce environmental pollution and promote green and sustainable development of agriculture.…”

The use of agricultural films, pesticides, and fertilizers has increased in China, leading to the degradation of the agricultural ecological environment. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2010 to 2021, this paper takes agricultural film usage as the threshold variable to study the impact of pesticide and fertilizer usage on agricultural development. The research results show that a single threshold effect of agricultural film usage is significant. When agricultural film usage is both a core and threshold variable, that is lower than the threshold value, every 1% increase in agricultural film usage will reduce agricultural output value by 0.9862%, and the impact is significant. When agricultural film usage crosses the threshold value, every 1% increase in agricultural film usage will increase agricultural output value by 1.1843%, and the impact is significant. When pesticide usage is the core variable, regardless of whether agricultural film usage is below or above the threshold, pesticide usage promotes agricultural development. Its impact is significant. When fertilizer input is a core variable, regardless of whether agricultural film usage is below or above the threshold, the use of fertilizers hinders agricultural development. The impact of fertilizer input on agricultural development is significant. Through empirical testing, this paper explores the deep relationship between agricultural film usage, pesticide usage and fertilizer input on agricultural development. These can effectively allocate agricultural production factors, transform the mode of agricultural economic growth, achieve the coordinated development of the ecological environment and agricultural economy and provide data support for the formulation of agricultural green development policies.

“…The higher the per capita GDP is, the higher the economic level. The more attention that is paid to environmental quality, the more conducive it is to ecological environmental protection [55] and to the health of residents. The industrial structure can effectively improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental pollution [56], and the optimization of the proportion of secondary industry can promote green economic development and effectively improve air quality [57,58].…”

Large-scale air pollution has an impact on the health and travel of residents in China. First, this article uses the gravity model and finds that China’s air quality presents a typical spatial correlation network. The network structure has changed from complex to simple, indicating that China’s air quality is gradually improving. Second, this paper uses spatial simultaneous equations to study the effect of air quality on residents’ health. The results show that an increase in the air quality index of local and surrounding provinces will have a significant impact on the health of residents. The absolute and relative air quality affects the lives of residents. The decline in the health of residents from the previous period will prompt the government to adopt various pollution reduction policies, which will improve air quality in the current period. Based on the empirical research conclusions, this article makes policy recommendations.
