When it comes to conducting research, two commonly used methods are literature reviews and

environmental scans. Both techniques play crucial roles in gathering information and understanding
existing knowledge within a particular field or topic. However, they differ significantly in their
approach and scope.

A literature review involves systematically examining scholarly sources such as books, journals, and
articles to identify and synthesize existing knowledge, theories, and research findings relevant to a
specific research question or topic. This process requires critical analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of
the literature to identify gaps, contradictions, and areas for further investigation. Literature reviews
are essential for establishing the theoretical framework of a study, providing context for research
findings, and identifying research gaps that warrant further exploration.

On the other hand, an environmental scan involves collecting and analyzing data from various
sources to assess the external factors and trends that may impact an organization, industry, or
community. Environmental scans typically include gathering information from sources such as news
articles, reports, government publications, and social media to identify emerging trends,
opportunities, threats, and challenges. This process helps organizations stay informed about changes
in their operating environment and make informed decisions to adapt and respond effectively.

While both literature reviews and environmental scans serve important purposes in research and
decision-making, they require different skills, approaches, and methodologies. Literature reviews
require a thorough understanding of research methods, critical thinking, and analytical skills to
evaluate and synthesize existing literature effectively. On the other hand, environmental scans require
proficiency in data collection, analysis, and interpretation to identify relevant trends and patterns in
the external environment.

Writing a literature review or conducting an environmental scan can be a challenging and time-
consuming task, requiring extensive research, analysis, and writing skills. Many individuals and
organizations struggle to effectively conduct these tasks due to time constraints, lack of expertise, or
difficulty accessing relevant resources.

However, in laboratory and field experiments, it has been seen to produce increased plant growth (
78 ). Summarizing the aforementioned in order to design an effective air quality control strategy,
several aspects must be considered: environmental factors and ambient air quality conditions,
engineering factors and air pollutant characteristics, and finally, economic operating costs for
technological improvement and administrative and legal costs. Quantitative and qualitative research

Environmental pollution is not a new phenomenon, yet it remains the worlds's greatest problem
facing humanity, and the leading environmental causes of morbidity and mortality. Section 3
introduces the data collection, empirical methods, and variables. Still exporting it according to the
indicator of betweenness centrality, the detailed information we get is shown in table 9. Table 9.
Literatures listed by betweenness centrality indicators (Top 10). We used the Lancet Commission's
definition of pollution (Landrigan et al. 2018 ). In the context of this paper, “impacts” are
understood as any noticeable effects or changes wholly or partially resulting from the spread of
environmental pollution. Available online at: (accessed October 6, 2019). 124. CopenhagenClimate

the one hand, given the population explosion and rapid urbanization, energy consumption and the
volume of long-distance energy transnational transportation has increased rapidly, and energy
accidents, such as the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 and the nuclear leak of Fukushima
Daiichi in Japan, are occurring frequently. Loss of hunting or fishing activities can mean loss of
physical activity as well, with resulting health impacts (Hoover 2013 ). Yang X, Wang L (2008)

pollution have not only an important economic impact but also a societal impact due to absences
from productive work and school. The study also highlights the strengthening effect of government
environmental regulation on the impact of public environmental concern. Particulate matter contains
tiny liquid or solid droplets that can be inhaled and cause serious health effects ( 55 ). For
determining the field survey, are in applied forest edges associated. Once called upon, the selected
team must provide an answer immediately.
The lack of diversity in decision-making processes often sidelines the concerns of marginalized
communities. Due to its fast industrial development and overpopulation, China is one of the Asian
countries confronting serious air pollution problems ( 10, 11 ). For more information about PLOS

next month — though it could come out later. The results of keyword clustering and co-citation
information in the literature indicate the natural-social dimensions of LP research, such as the use
and quality of air, land, and water, as well as urbanization and environmental policies. Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may be induced following air pollution, increasing morbidity
and mortality ( 99 ). In China, public participation mechanisms in environmental governance are still

advocacy, indigenous communities have also worked for policy changes to gain local control over
natural resource management, which has been argued to increase IPs' abilities to address pollution
more effectively (Verbrugge 2015; Dare and Daniell 2017 ). For example, many IPs participated in
Canada's Arctic Environmental Strategy to include a Northern Contaminants Program (Selin and
Selin 2008 ). Although the recent focus on institutional and policy reforms has led to a higher focus
on environmental discussion, little is known about the status of research on the Pollution. (PDF)

air pollution and health. Column (1) shows the results of the univariate analysis, indicating that the
estimated coefficient of public environmental awareness is -0.009, which is statistically significant at
the 1% level. Air pollutants absorbed by the human skin may contribute to skin aging, psoriasis,
acne, urticaria, eczema, and atopic dermatitis ( 111 ), usually caused by exposure to oxides and

undertaken to ascertain the future worth of projects and the returns they would yield. In their work,
the scholars, Emily North and Rolf Halden of Arizona State University, summarize relevant research
findings on the benefits, dangers, disposal of, and future innovative potential for plastics.
Synopsizing, a global prevention policy should be designed in order to combat anthropogenic air
pollution as a complement to the correct handling of the adverse health effects associated with air
pollution. Specifically, a 1% increase in public environmental concern leads to a 0.009% reduction in
environmental pollution. A bibliographical survey was undertaken to systematically review the

smog in the troposphere ( 63 ). In order to understand the impact of global forces on regional land
pollution, it is necessary to capture visible or invisible information related to LP using information
geography and statistical methods or approaches, which include information geography methods
such as remote sensing, GIS, and also methods such as qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). Yet
instead of spending taxpayer time and money determining how to address smog impacting local

authors find that China’s recent straw recycling policy has effectively improved the country’s air
quality. III. Impacts of energy policies and regulations on pollution and health Due to the negative
impacts of energy accidents and consumption on pollution and health, more and more energy-related
policies and regulations are established by governments to alleviate the negative effects of air quality
on health. Flow for the literature review example humphreys cites a recent, impact. Conducting an

on LP mainly presents two types of characteristics: one part of the literature takes LP as an
independent variable to explore the impact of LP on social and economic development and
ecosystem services, and the other part of the literature takes LP as the dependent variable to explore
the impact of spatial environmental factors on LP. Climate is the other side of the same coin that

not successful, her legal theory would lay the groundwork for environmental justice cases to come.
As stated already, long-term exposure is associated with deleterious effects on the cardiovascular
system ( 3, 5 ). Beyond the devastating public health impacts this pollution causes, emissions from
upwind states can make it nearly impossible for downwind states to meet the health-based national
air quality standards. From the perspective of the time evolution of keywords, if the frequency of
