Objective: This study explores the moderating effect of green space on the association between atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) mortality.
Methods: Data on CCVD mortality, PM, meteorological factors, and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) of green spaces in Ningxia from 2010 to 2020 were collected. A time-series generalized additive mixed-effect model (GAMM) was applied to analyze the exposure-response relationship between PM and CCVD mortality.

Air pollution has become a major challenge to global urban sustainable development, necessitating urgent solutions. Meteorological variables are key determinants of air quality; however, research on their impact across different urban gradients remains limited, and their mechanisms are largely unexplored. This study investigates the dynamic effects of meteorological variables on air quality under varying levels of urbanization using Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, as a case study.

Climate change brings intense hurricanes and storm surges to the US Atlantic coast. These disruptive meteorological events, combined with sea level rise (SLR), inundate coastal areas and adversely impact infrastructure and environmental assets. Thus, storm surge projection and associated risk quantification are needed in coastal adaptation planning and emergency management.

In April 2023, a major dust storm event in Lanzhou attracted widespread attention. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the causes, progression, and dust sources of this event using multiple data sources and methods. Backward trajectory analysis using the HYSPLIT model was employed to trace the origins of the dust, while FY-2H satellite data provided high-resolution dust distribution patterns.

Purpose: Myopia (short-sightedness) is an emerging WHO priority eye disease. Rise in prevalence and severity are driven by changes in lifestyle and environment of children and young people (CYP), including less time spent in bright daylight and more time spent on near-vision activities. We aimed to systematically map the literature describing direct, objective measurements of the visual environment of CYP.
