ClearDoes Individuals’ Perception of Wastewater Pollution Decrease Their Self-Rated Health? Evidence from China
Researchers found that individuals in China who perceive higher levels of local wastewater pollution report significantly lower self-rated health, using large-scale survey data from all 31 provinces to quantify the associations between environmental pollution perception and subjective health outcomes.
The Right to a Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment in Brunei Darussalam
This paper examines the legal dimensions of the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment within Brunei Darussalam's legal framework, following its formal recognition by the UN General Assembly in 2022.

Environmental Impacts on Human Health
This review examines the relationship between environmental conditions and human health through scientific, philosophical, and Islamic perspectives, comparing how environmental factors affect human wellbeing and how human activities in turn degrade the natural environment.
Physical Assessment of Marine Debris Along the Coast of Brunei Darussalam
This pioneer study of marine debris on beaches in Brunei Darussalam collected and categorized debris from four beaches along the 161 km South China Sea coastline. Plastic was a dominant debris type, with findings providing the first baseline data on coastal litter in this Southeast Asian nation.
Residential environment in relation to self-report of respiratory and asthma symptoms among primary school children in a high-polluted urban area
Researchers surveyed 658 Bangkok schoolchildren and found that living near garment shops, having pests at home, and having damp walls were each independently linked to higher rates of asthma and respiratory symptoms, underscoring how indoor and neighborhood environments directly affect children's lung health.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices toward Plastic Pollution among Malaysians: Implications for Minimizing Plastic Use and Pollution
Researchers surveyed Malaysians about their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding plastic pollution. The study found that while most people were aware of plastic pollution problems, there was a significant gap between awareness and actual behavior change. The findings suggest that education campaigns alone are insufficient and need to be paired with practical infrastructure and policy changes to reduce plastic use.
Public perceptions of climate change and health – A cross-sectional survey study
Researchers conducted a cross-sectional survey to assess public perceptions of the links between climate change and human health, examining awareness of how rising temperatures, extreme weather, air pollution, and environmental degradation affect morbidity and mortality. The study found variable levels of public understanding across demographic groups, with implications for health communication and climate policy engagement.
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices towards Plastic Pollution among Malaysians
Researchers assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward plastic pollution among 294 Malaysian respondents via an online survey, using descriptive statistics, KAP scoring, and cross-tabulation to evaluate variation across sociodemographic groups. The study found that while awareness of plastic pollution was present, gaps between knowledge and actual waste reduction behavior persisted across the surveyed population.
Novel concept for the healthy population influencing factors
This paper introduced a novel conceptual framework for identifying the factors that influence population health, integrating environmental, behavioral, and socioeconomic determinants. The framework is proposed as a tool for public health planning and health impact assessment.
Scale validation and prediction of environmental health literacy in Brazil
Researchers surveyed nearly 400 people in Brazil to measure environmental health literacy — how well people understand the links between pollution and human health — and found that education, income, age, and ethnicity were the strongest predictors of awareness levels. The findings can help policymakers design targeted communication strategies for communities most vulnerable to environmental health risks.
Knowledge and practice on green purchasing of personal care products among undergraduate students in Universiti Putra Malaysia
This survey studied how much university students in Malaysia know about environmentally friendly personal care products and whether knowledge influences purchasing behavior. Results revealed gaps between knowledge and practice, suggesting that education alone is insufficient to drive greener consumer choices.
