This paper presents the first environmental life cycle analysis for a range of different confectionery products. A proposed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach and multi-criteria decision (MCDA) was developed to characterise identify profiles hotspots five products; milk chocolate, dark sugar, chocolate biscuit milk-based The impact categories are based on Nestle's EcodEX LCA tool which includes Global Warming Potential (GWP), Abiotic Depletion (ADP), ecosystems quality, two new indicators...
The environmental quality objective and standards (EQO/EQS) approach to controlling assessing estuarine pollution is described together with details of the information necessary assess health fish populations determine whether EQO/EQS are being met in an estuary. These concepts illustrated by examples from Forth estuary, Scotland, involving studies ecology, pathology, biochemistry contaminant bioaccumulation relation benthos, water anthropogenic influences.
Tne Forth Estuary, Scotland, has received a discharge containing mercury for several decades. This study describes the ecological effects of that as contamination in many components ecosystem and attempts to quantify standing mass Hg within those components. The contaminated area is contrasted with less-contaminated area, 19km downstream, shown have significantly greater levels most (sediments, plankton, infauna, epi-fauna, macroalgae fish). biota 1% non-biotic suspended material soluble...
Societal Impact Statement Daunting global challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss may seem overwhelming. However, gardeners have a secret weapon—gardens, balconies, indoor planting, yards allotments are mini‐ecosystems that offer opportunities to counter perceptions helplessness, inadequacy resultant inaction by using those spaces ‘Do what we can, with have, where are’. Minimising gardening ‘footprints’ mitigate harmful impacts, whilst maximising ‘handprints’ enhance benefits, is...
Synopsis The major sources of domestic and industrial wastes being discharged into the estuary firth are described quantified. effects these inputs on quality receiving waters, in terms their dissolved oxygen micronutrient levels, discussed. In estuary, nitrate is shown to behave an essentially conservative manner winter months; ammonia distribution exhibits summer maxima as a direct result effluent waste inputs; orthophosphate characterised by considerable losses upper reaches. data lateral...
Synopsis Since 1924 the Forth has received effluent from Scotland's major petrochemical industry and refinery in addition to hydrocarbon inputs many other sources. The firth shows no effects of this, but history inputs, together with estuary's physical characteristics, have created a large residue contaminants especially its sediments. This paper gives degree gradients contamination several components describes effect on ecosystem structure. produced localised lethal effects, that productive...
