Antibiotic pollution causes serious environmental and social issues. China is the largest antibiotic producer user in world, with a large share of antibiotics used agriculture. This study quantified agricultural emissions mainland 2014 as well critical drivers global supply chains. Results show that China's agriculture discharged 4131 tons antibiotics. Critical domestic chain are mainly located Central China, North East China. Foreign final demand contributes 9% leads to 5–40% each province....
China has committed to eradicating the forage-livestock conflict (FLC) by 2035 restore degraded rangelands. This commitment is accompanied China's rapid socioeconomic development, highlighting necessity analyze effects of transition on FLC changes. Here, we uncover multi-regional drivers The results show that during 2005–2015, economic structure cumulatively driven 24 Mt reductions. In particular, reduction final demand pastoral provinces three times non-pastoral provinces. mitigation...
Abstract Mercury exposure poses significant threats to human health, particularly in its organic form, methylmercury (MeHg). Diet is the main pathway for MeHg exposure, especially through seafood consumption. In this context, numerous studies have established concentration datasets assess MeHg-related health risks from However, existing are limited specific regions and short-term observations, making it difficult support continuous dynamic assessments of global risks. This study takes a...
Decoupling global economic growth from carbon emissions is essential for mitigating climate change while maintaining continuous growth. Traditional production-side decoupling analysis alone insufficient to capture the status between and value added throughout supply chains. This study investigates greenhouse gas (GHG) during 1995-2019 consumption income perspectives. We find that statuses of 17 regions (especially Russia, Australia, Malta) show significant differences across multiple For...
India is among the largest emitters of atmospheric mercury (Hg) in world. India's production activities have associated Hg emissions which can be attributed to final demands (e.g., purchases by households, governments, and private investments) nations driving upstream from demand perspective, or primary inputs labor capital supply) enabling downstream supply perspective. This study identifies key sectors that directly indirectly drove both perspectives during 2004-2014. While domestic was...
Abstract Rapid socioeconomic development has caused numerous environmental impacts. Human production and consumption activities are the underlying drivers of resource uses, emissions, associated impacts (e.g., ecosystem quality human health). Reducing requires an understanding complex interactions between system system. Existing studies have explored relationships among society, economic system, However, it is unclear about research progress in effects on potential directions future...
Achieving forest sustainability is a declared sustainable development goal (SDG 15). Measuring the safe operating space-planetary boundaries-of global forests essential to determine pressure and manage sustainably. Here, we quantify forestry planetary boundary (FPB) national boundaries. Results show that, in 2015, FPB was 7.1 billion m3 of stock increments. Global timber harvests account for 58.7% FPB. Timber 47 nations, mostly Africa Asia, have exceeded their Their boundary-exceeding...
Abstract Technological progress (TP) is a double-edged sword to global climate change. This study for the first time reveals rebound and mitigation effects of efficiency-related TP in value chains (GVCs) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The integrated depend positioning sectors GVCs. cost-saving upstream would stimulate downstream demand. produces stronger than potentials leads GHG emission increments (e.g. sector China petroleum coal products South Korea). In contrast, located trailing...
Abstract China is the largest atmospheric mercury (Hg) emitter globally, which has been substantially investigated. However, estimation of national or regional Hg emissions in insufficient supporting emission control, as location sources may have significant impacts on effects emissions. In this concern, high-spatial-resolution datasets China’s are necessary for in-depth and accurate Hg-related studies policymaking. Existing gridded constructed using population distribution proxy, limited...
Abstract Dietary methylmercury (MeHg) exposure increases the risk of many human diseases. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) is world’s most populous bay area and people there might suffer a high dietary MeHg exposure. However, lacks time-series spatial resolution dataset for in GBA. This study constructs (1 km × 1 km) GBA during 2009–2019. It first inventory each county/district GBA, based on concentrations foods (i.e., rice fish this study) per capita intake....
ABSTRACT Human activities interfere with natural Phosphorus (P) cycles by introducing increased levels of P emissions to air, land, and water. A supply-side analysis supply chains associated can provide insights into underlying economic transitions responsible for human-induced emissions. Taking the mainland China as case, this study constructs time-series physical input-output tables describe during 1949–2012. Subsequently, it identifies critical products influencing factors enabling...
