On 20 December 2015, a mountain of construction waste collapsed in Shenzhen, north of Hong Kong. The man-made landslide destroyed 33 buildings, killed 69 people, and left 8 others missing ([ 1 ][1]). This disaster occurred only 4 months after the chemical explosions in a hazardous material storage

Historical and future emission of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from gas-fired combustion in Beijing, China

It is found that emissions of primary HAPs exhibited an increasing trend with the rapid increase in natural gas consumption, and stricter emission standards must be established to mitigate the associated air pollution and health risks caused by gas-fired combustion.
