Di(2-ethylhexhyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used plasticizer that has adverse effects on ecosystems and human health. However, data about its stocks, flows, emission rates, as well ecological risks are generally unknown in China, one of the world's largest producers chemicals including DEHP, limiting sound management chemicals. Herein, dynamic material flow analysis, coupled with multimedia environmental model risk was performed to fill gap DEHP China mainland from 1956 2020. Results...
Global demand for polyurethanes (PUs) has steadily been increasing. However, knowledge about PUs' anthropogenic cycles and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remains incomplete, hindering effective decision-making. This study employs dynamic material flow analysis to trace PU in China (accounting 45% of the global market 2022) from 1958 2022, combined with scenario pollution mitigation. Given technological advancements production processes, volume PUs 2022 was 11 times that 2000. The in-use...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a high-production-volume plastic chemical, with ∼98% of its usage in China allocated to producing polycarbonate and epoxy resin, fugitive release threatens ecosystems. However, knowledge anthropogenic cycles, environmental emissions, ecological risks remains incomplete, hindering effective lifecycle management. Herein, material flow analysis, multimedia modeling, risk assessment were integrated comprehensively map BPA dynamics China. Results reveal ∼ 90-fold increase...
As the impact of emerging pollutants (EPs) on human health and ecosystems becomes significant, attention is being drawn to treatment EPs. Unlike conventional (e.g., chemical oxygen demand, biochemical SO2, NO x , etc.), EPs have relatively short history use production, or their hazards be identified only recently, thus are largely beyond scope current laws regulations environmental pollutants. Synthetic chemicals unintentionally released substances constitute an important source diverse...
Perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS) are regarded as a category of chemicals with persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. Understanding dynamic flows, stocks, emissions PFOS on macro spatial temporal scale can help provide scientific basis for their sound management. In this work, material flow analysis (d-MFA) model was built to characterize analyze the cycles in mainland China over period 1985-2019. Flows, environmental were calculated sensitivity uncertainty results then analyzed....
This article provides an overview of global economy by looking into various trade agreements between countries. By examining the effect brought globalization, we mainly focusing on development under representative integration. Based statistic collaboration, both positive economic effects and negative drawbacks are demonstrated. We also look association level openness financial market, further analysis role playing structure.
