The estuary is an energetic area connecting the inland, river, and ocean. migration of microplastics (MPs) in this highly complex tied to entire ecosystem. In study, effects cohesive SPM (clay) noncohesive (sand) on vertical positively buoyant MPs, polyethylene (PE), negatively polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), estuarine environment under hydrodynamic disturbances were investigated. settling MPs was more reliant compared MPs. Moreover, interacting with mixture at a clay-to-sand ratio 1:9...
Ground transportation, which includes the road and rail sectors, is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. An emissions trading system (ETS) one environmental policies for controlling carbon from fossil fuel combustion during transport activities. To investigate status existing ETS interventions on ground transportation emissions, comprehensive literature review conducted, including policy evaluation comparison, scheme optimization design, specific behavior interventions. The...
Coastal waters are complex and dynamic areas with unique environmental attributes that complicate the vertical migration of microplastics (MPs). The MPs enter coastal from diverse sources, including terrestrial, riverine, oceanic, shoreline inputs undergo various aging pathways. In this study, variations in physiochemical characteristics undergoing pathways their under conditions subjected to effects different MP features were comprehensively explored. Opposite on hydrophobic hydrophilic...
Abstract The unprecedented surge in the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) worldwide during covid pandemic resulted a significant increase PPE consumption and subsequent waste generation. Despite importance of PPE, its widespread usage disposal have sparked worries about environmental impact long-term sustainability. increasing awareness challenges, resource scarcity, urgent need to mitigate climate change necessitates paradigm shift product design, manufacturing process,...
Farm leftovers, particularly crop residues, are a key source of renewable energy in Canada. The nation’s robust agricultural industry provides ample biomass, derived from forestry and agriculture resources, for generation. Crop such as straws husks, play crucial role this biomass reservoir, contributing to biofuel production greenhouse gas mitigation efforts. Focusing on supply chains, waste management, emission reduction, study evaluates the sustainability wheat straw, an by-product....
Ice can serve as a significant temporary repository and conveyance mechanism for microplastics (MPs). MPs present in the water column become entrapped within developing ice formations, subsequently being sequestered transported by floes. With changing temperatures, stored be released back into environment, while freezing conditions alter properties of MPs, ultimately affecting fate environment. Freezing freshwater results aggregation MP particles due to physical compression, leading an...
