  • Perceived Value Influencing the Household Waste Sorting
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Perceived Value Influencing the Household Waste Sorting Behaviors in Rural China Ying Ma 1,2, Mansoor Ahmed Koondhar 1, Shengke Liu 1, Huiling Wang 1 and Rong Kong 1,* 1 School of Economics and Management, Northwest A&F University, No. 3 Taicheng Road, Yangling 712100, China; [email protected] (Y.M.); [email protected] (M.A.K.); [email protected] (S.L.); [email protected] (H.W.) 2 School of Economics and Management, Xi’an Shiyou University, No. 18 Dianzi Road, Xi’an 710065, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 25 July 2020; Accepted: 19 August 2020; Published: 21 August 2020 Abstract: Waste sorting is the cardinal measurement to solve the problem of low efficiency of rural environmental governance and to alleviate environmental pollution by reduction, recycling, and harmlessness in rural areas. However, non-excludable and non-rival features of public goods easily cause a wide free-rider problem, which results in a low frequency of participation in the waste sorting of rural people. Based on the theory of the utility maximization of the rational economic man, this paper investigates survey data of 688 farm households in three cities and three counties of Shaanxi Province to explore the effect of the perceived value on the household waste classification behavior based on cost-benefit analysis. The results show that perceived benefit and perceived cost are important perceived value factors affecting farmers’ participation in waste sorting. Specifically, the spiritual benefit of the perceived benefit has a significantly positive impact on classification behavior, while the time cost, physical cost, and material cost of the perceived cost have a negative impact on waste classification behavior.

CORAR is comprised of representatives of the major manufacturers and distributors of radiopharmaceuticals, radioactive sources, and research radionuclides used in the U.S. for therapeutic and diagnostic medical applications and for industrial, environmental and biomedical research and quality control. Radiophamaceuticals and radionuclides are used world wide with immense benefit to society. Although non-radiometric methods are being sought, much essential biochemical and medical research today depends on the application of radionuclides often in the form of labelled compounds. It is interesting to note that in the past twenty-five years most Nobel prizes in medicine and physiology were awarded for research which could not have been conducted without radioactive materials. In addition to benefits accruing from research, the quality of health care is also strongly enhanced by diagnostic and treatment methods using radiopharmaceuticals and radioactive sources. Some medical treatments and diagnostics can only be done using radionuclides. Currently, when other methods are available, they are less safe, less accurate and/or are more costly than the radiometric method. An unavoidable by-product of the manufacture and use of these essential radioactive products is the generation of mixed waste. Although manufacturers and users continue to seek methods to avoid the production of mixed waste, it is unlikely that mixed waste will be entirely eliminated and the ultimate fate of mixed waste currently held in storage is still to be determined.

The wind swept the parking lot in front of the entrance, and whistled under the second floor windows left slightly ajar. Though it was September, and the rippling hot air of summer was fast on its way out of Levant, many had opened their classroom windows to allow the air to circulate and stay fresh. The tired teachers, having seen their students safely to their busses home, emptied their desks of paper and writing instruments and rubbed their eyes free of the school day’s slow burn, the minor indignities and silent triumphs falling away like hair, slowly forgotten, and their thoughts already on their next class, the next opportunity for futile complaint, excuses, and the numbered days between pay checks.
