Spatial distribution and influencing factors of litter in urban areas based on machine learning - A case study of Beijing.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Littering in urban areas negatively affects their appearance, is harmful to the environment and increases pollution. It is a typical urban problem looming large upon Beijing and other megacities striving for liveability and harmony in economy, societ...

Assessment of medical waste generation, associated environmental impact, and management issues after the outbreak of COVID-19: A case study of the Hubei Province in China.

PloS one
COVID-19 greatly challenges the human health sector, and has resulted in a large amount of medical waste that poses various potential threats to the environment. In this study, we compiled relevant data released by official agencies and the media, an...

Prediction of direct carbon emissions of Chinese provinces using artificial neural networks.

PloS one
Closely connected to human carbon emissions, global climate change is affecting regional economic and social development, natural ecological environment, food security, water supply, and many other social aspects. In a word, climate change has become...

A spectral characteristic analysis method for distinguishing heavy metal pollution in crops: VMD-PCA-SVM.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
Exploring the characteristics and types of heavy metal pollution in crops has important implications for food security and human health. In this study, a method for distinguishing heavy metal-polluted elements in corn leaves was proposed. Based on th...

Identification of Potential PBT/POP-Like Chemicals by a Deep Learning Approach Based on 2D Structural Features.

Environmental science & technology
Identifying potential persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) substances from industrial chemical inventories are essential for chemical risk assessment, management, and pollution control. Inspired by the...

Comprehensive evaluation of benefits from environmental investment: take China as an example.

Environmental science and pollution research international
With the rapid development of social economy and the increasing environmental pollution in China, the government's environmental investment has been gradually increasing, and an effective evaluation system is required to study the benefits from envir...

Development of AOP relevant to microplastics based on toxicity mechanisms of chemical additives using ToxCastâ„¢ and deep learning models combined approach.

Environment international
Various additives are used in plastic products to improve the properties and the durability of the plastics. Their possible elution from the plastics when plastics are fragmented into micro- and nano-size in the environment is suspected to one of the...

Solving visual pollution with deep learning: A new nexus in environmental management.

Journal of environmental management
Visual pollution is a relatively new concern amidst the existing plethora of mainstream environmental pollution, recommending the necessity for research to conceptualize, formalize, quantify and assess it from different dimensions. The purpose of thi...

A coupled multivariate statistics, geostatistical and machine-learning approach to address soil pollution in a prototypical Hg-mining site in a natural reserve.

Chemosphere
The impact of mining activities on the environment is vast. In this regard, many mines were operating well before the introduction of environmental law. This is particularly true of cinnabar mines, whose activity has declined for decades due to growi...
