Green human resource management and the enablers of green organisational culture: enhancing a firm’s environmental performance for sustainable development
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper examined the relationship between green human resource management practices, the enablers of green organisational culture, and a firm's environmental performance, and found that proenvironmental HRM practices including hiring, training, appraisal, and incentivisation support the development of green organizational culture.

Optimal site selection of electric vehicle charging station by using fuzzy TOPSIS based on sustainability perspective
Sen Guo,Sen Guo,Huiru Zhao +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method to consider some subjective but important criteria for EVCS site selection to reflect the ambiguity and vagueness due to the subjective judgments of decision makers.

A review of current knowledge concerning PM 2. 5 chemical composition, aerosol optical properties and their relationships across China
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed and summarized existing field studies conducted after the year 2000 in terms of geographical, interannual and seasonal distributions of PM2.5 chemical composition and its impact on aerosol optical properties across China.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of natural and anthropogenic factors on haze pollution in Chinese cities: A spatial econometrics approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied exploratory spatial data analysis and the spatial Durbin model (SDM) to analyze the spatial distribution and variation pattern of the AQI and quantitatively estimate the contributions and spatial spillovers of different natural and anthropogenic factors on the air quality of 289 prefecture-level cities in 2014.

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution
C. Arden Pope,Richard T. Burnett,Michael J. Thun,Eugenia E. Calle,Daniel Krewski,Kazuhiko Ito,George D. Thurston +6 more
TL;DR: Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.

Lung cancer mortality and exposure to atmospheric aerosol particles in Guangzhou, China
Xuexi Tie,Dui Wu,Guy Brasseur +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed 52-year historical surface measurements of haze data in the Chinese city of Guangzhou, and showed that the dramatic increase in the occurrence of air pollution events between 1954 and 2006 has been followed by a large enhancement in the incidence of lung cancer.

Important role of ammonia on haze formation in Shanghai
Xingnan Ye,Zhen Ma,Jiachen Zhang,Huanhuan Du,Jianmin Chen,Hui Chen,Xin Yang,Wei Gao,Fuhai Geng +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a similar variation of hygroscopic growth factor distribution was observed for Aitken mode particles and accumulation mode particles, implying that the enhancement of fine particles was caused by local atmospheric processing.
