The management of municipal solid waste is a crucial issue to address as we move toward the decarbonization urban contexts. Not by chance, this sector plays relevant role in Covenant Mayors program, whereby municipalities are called design their own Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SECAPs). However, despite new regulations strongly pushing recycling and reuse materials contained waste, many cities still use large landfills. As part overall environmental pressure exerted these systems,...
This study aimed at surveying lower secondary schools in southern Italy, a highly polluted area. A community close to an industrial area and three villages rural areas was investigated. Indoor temperature, relative humidity (RH), gaseous pollutants (CO2 NO2), selected biological indoor dust, the indoor/outdoor mass concentration elemental composition of PM2.5 were ascertained. Temperature RH within, or to, comfort range, while CO2 frequently exceeded threshold 1000 ppm, indicating inadequate...
European Union Member States are called upon to meet internationally proposed environmental goals. This study is based, in particular, on the recommendation of (EU), which encourages pursue effective policies reduce greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, including through appropriate changes behavioral habits citizens. In this respect, among main sectors involved, transport and mobility should certainly be mentioned. National institutions adequately involved order achieve objectives set; regard,...
