Although many variables that have adverse impacts on the sustainable environment are investigated from many aspects, some variables are missing. In this study, it will be simultaneously focused on the relation between refugees, governance, sustainable environment, economic growth, energy consumption, and supplementary explanatory variables, HDI, the trade deficit, and financial development, for Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Jordan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Sudan, and Uganda using the panel quantile autoregressive distributed lag (PQARDL) and causality methods for the 1996-2019 period. Long-run coefficients found by PQARDL method showed the evidence of the long-run relationship between the sustainable environment, refugee population, governance, economic growth, energy consumption, and explanatory variables. Both traditional and Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) causality tests determined the evidence of a unidirectional causality from political and economic governance to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and deforestation, as well as a unidirectional causality from refugees to GHG emissions and deforestation.

Identifying key factors that control the chemical evolution of groundwater along groundwater flow direction is essential in ensuring the safety of groundwater resources in upper watersheds and lower plains. In this study, the ion ratio, multivariate statistics, and inverse geochemical modeling were used to investigate and explore the chemical characteristics of groundwater and factors driving the formation of groundwater components in the plain area of Deyang City, China. The chemical type of groundwater in the area was dominated by the HCO-Ca type, and the variation in groundwater chemical composition was mainly affected by water-rock interaction and human interference.

Microplastics (MPs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are ubiquitous contaminants in environments, yet their co-occurrence and interactions remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we confirmed the concurrent presence of MPs and PFASs and their distinct distribution patterns in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) through a comprehensive sampling and analysis effort. Significant correlations ( < 0.

Background: Pharmaceuticals are expected to improve human and animal health, but improper management and regulation have led to adverse effects such as reproductive disorders, antibiotic resistance, and biodiversity loss in ecosystems. Their presence in the environment poses significant risks, including a reduction in biodiversity, reproductive issues, and the development of antimicrobial resistance. This review aims to examine the occurrence and sources of pharmaceuticals in the environment and their ecotoxicological and regulatory aspects, with a focus on Ethiopia.

The development of catalytic technologies for sustainable energy conversion is a critical step toward addressing fossil fuel depletion and associated environmental challenges. High-efficiency catalysts are fundamental to advancing these technologies. Recently, field-effect facilitated catalytic processes have emerged as a promising approach in energy and environmental applications, including water splitting, CO reduction, nitrogen reduction, organic electrosynthesis, and biomass recycling.

Understanding Atlantic tropical forests' ecological dynamics and carbon storage potential in Cameroon is crucial for guiding sustainable management and conservation strategies. These forests play a significant role in carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation. This study aimed to fill existing knowledge gaps by characterising plant communities, assessing the vegetation structure, and quantifying the potential of carbon stocks.
