Electrospun polyamide 6 (PA 6) and 6/6 6/6) nanofibers were produced in order to investigate their experimental characteristics with the goal of obtaining filtration relevant fiber media. The design model each PA contained following variables: polymer concentration, ratio solvents, nanofiber media collection time, tip‐to‐collector distance, deposition voltage. average diameter fibers, morphology, basis weight, thickness, resulting solidity investigated. Effects variable on essential studied....
The composition of plastic and multilayer packaging waste was assessed in the mixed municipal solid (MSW) streams Kaunas (Lithuania), Daugavpils (Latvia) Tallinn (Estonia) municipalities. For analysis samples MSW streams, authors used manual sorting a visual recognition method. Composition from separately collected multi-family single-family households performed research group combined near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy methods. findings reveal that percentage distribution within stream is...
This complex study presents indoor and outdoor levels of air-borne fine particles, particle-bound PAHs VOCs at two urban locations in the city Kaunas, Lithuania, considers possible sources pollution. Two sampling campaigns were performed January–February March–April 2009. The mean PM2.5 concentration Location 1 winter was 34.5 ± 15.2 µg m−3 while spring it 24.7 12.2 m−3; 2 corresponding values 36.7 21.7 22.4 19.4 m−3, respectively. In general there little difference between PM concentrations...
Biomass is considered as one of the most promising fuels worldwide, mostly because its renewability and almost-neutral carbon balance. At same time, numerous studies have shown that combustion biomass results in emissions multiple gaseous particle phase pollutants. The aim this study was to fill gap data from agricultural fuels. Five residue-derived were tested: sunflower stalk pellets, straw buckwheat shells, corn wheat grain screenings. In addition, wood sewage sludge pellets investigated...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a methodological framework and practical application the sustainable development assessment in Lithuania. Design/methodology/approach was performed by deriving composite economic, social environmental indexes combining them into integrated index. Each index aggregates number selected indicators, which were essential for country's during last decade. Having mind that consistency, authors have used equal weights calculation indexes. Findings...
Spatial and temporal variation of vapor- particle-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was determined in six urban sub-urban locations Kaunas, Lithuania during heating non seasons. Two different sampling methodologies were used: passive (based on semipermeable membrane device, SPMD) active collection filter sorption). Sixteen priority PAHs as well methylated quantified the collected samples. The sampled total amount 16 investigated SPMDs ranged from 10–138 ng/day outdoors, 5–59...
Water pollution characterization consumes a lot time, facilities and materials. Application of easy applicable accurate method for determination is quiet actual still now. Redox reactions in water are usually biologically mediated therefore, the oxidation reduction potential (ORP) wastewater groundwater systems depends upon biodegradation processes. Oxidation control behaviour many chemical constituents water. The ORP advisable that contains relatively high concentration redox-active...
Presents the intermediate results from national discussion “Universities for Sustainable Development”, which is going on in frame of Educational Sector AGENDA 21 Baltic Sea Region Lithuania. The assessment current situation and development guidelines regional action plan were considered as main goals working group. National groups have carried out informal discussions elaborated questionnaires universities colleges. outcomes statistical inquests are presented.
Resuspended desert dust is an important air pollutant in both local and transboundary levels. Research on the resuspension properties of road particulate matter (PM) was performed with samples from provinces Kandahar, Herat Ghor Afghanistan, province Baghdad Iraq. Measurements concentrations airborne PM Kandahar showed that near military unit PMtotal ranged 58.3 μg/m3 to 85.5 μg/m3, while motorcade 13787.9 18181.8 μg/m3. The particle size distribution (PSD) resuspended laboratory conditions...
