Towards sustainable development: The role of the carbon emission trading scheme in improving energy enterprises' carbon performance.

Carbon emission trading scheme (CET) has become a vital environmental regulation driving sustainable development within enterprises. Simultaneously, given the substantial contribution of carbon emissions from Chinese energy industry to the overall carbon footprint, it is imperative for energy enterprises to improve carbon performance. Thus, using data from listed Chinese energy enterprises between 2009 and 2020, this paper examines the impact and mechanisms of CET on carbon performance through a difference-in-difference empirical test.

Factors associated with blood lead levels in children in Shenyang, China: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Although blood lead levels (BLLs) in children are gradually decreasing, low-concentration lead exposure can still exert adverse effects. We studied the factors that affect BLLs in children in Shenyang, China.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study by administering structured questionnaires on family demographics and food intake.

Association of prenatal factors and cord blood lead levels in China: A nested cohort cross-sectional study.

Background: Lead exposure all over the world has gradually declined. As fetuses are more prone to lead exposure, even to low levels of lead exposure, it is important to monitor blood lead levels (BLLs) in pregnancy.

Methods: We obtained data on BLLs in the third trimester of pregnancy from medical records and measured cord BLLs obtained from 121 mother-child pairs in Shenyang, China from September 2019 to February 2020.
