Human health risk from groundwater consumption: A case study in the Apaaso-Tafo Community in the Bono East Region of Ghana by Emmanuel Okyere, Ethel Bentil, Nana Adwoa Kusi-Addai, Lawson Mensah

“…In the Bono East region of Ghana, 94 % of solid waste and 89 % of wastewater are disposed of on the roadside without treatment, posing a contamination risk to water resources. Despite the potential for GW contamination in the region, few researchers have assessed GW quality, and none has evaluated the human infectious risk from GW consumption. …”

Pastoral livestock farming constraints and adaptation strategies in response to institutional reforms in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of West Africa by Basnewindé Ilboudo, Alhassane Zaré, Alhassane Zaré, Innocent Charles Emmanuel Traoré, Innocent Charles Emmanuel Traoré, Loyapin Bondé, Reginald Tang Guuroh, Reginald Tang Guuroh, Reginald Tang Guuroh, Oumarou Ouédraogo

“…Data was also taken on pastoral constraints related to land reforms, protected area governance, and alternative adaptation strategies developed to address constraints.Result and discussionThe changes highlighted are the challenge to the pastoral zone and the appropriation of pastureland by other users inducing range shrinkage, inaccessibility to water resources, and farmer-herders conflicts. In response, some livestock farmers drive their herds out of the country, while others illegally graze in protected areas. …”

Influencing Mechanisms of Ecosystem Services on Net Carbon Sink Efficiency and Spatial Differentiation Thereof: A Case Study of the Shanghai Metropolitan Area by Haoyang SONG, Min WANG

“…In addition, the spatial spillover effects of ecosystem services are innovatively revealed according to ecosystem service flow conduction mechanisms.ResultsResearch results are summarized as follows. 1) During the 11 years from the 2010 to 2020, the growth of carbon dioxide emissions in the Shanghai Metropolitan Area gradually slowed down, while the net primary productivity of vegetation continued to increase, and the areas with high carbon emissions and high carbon sinks were partially overlapped; in addition, the net carbon sink efficiency of some core nodes, such as Shanghai City, maintained a steady improvement, effectively driving neighboring cities to reduce carbon emissions and increase carbon sinks; meanwhile, the areas with improved net carbon sink efficiency have some similar characteristics and can be divided into 2 types: areas with high production value, high carbon emissions, and high carbon sinks, and those with medium-high production value, low carbon emissions, and medium-high carbon sinks. 2) The four ecosystem services have significant spatial heterogeneity and relatively stable changes over the 11-year period, with the high values mainly distributed in the southwestern part of the area with high vegetation cover and the area around the Taihu Lake with concentrated water resources, while the low values mainly distributed in the concentrated urban construction areas and near the regional traffic arteries, and the total amount of the four ecosystem services has shown fluctuating characteristics. 3) Regarding the spatial decomposition effects of ecosystem services on net carbon sink efficiency, there are differences in the coefficients, directions and significance of the spatial effects of different ecosystem services. …”
