Airlines release the unburned jet fuel into the atmosphere to reduce the weight of aircraft before landing. Sometimes, aircraft reach a weight more than takeoff weight while departing from the airport. Therefore, the pil...

El presente trabajo es parte de la investigación realizada, para la tesis doctoral inédita de la Ing. María Belén Birche. Se describe brevemente qué es la geotermia, y los sistemas que existen para aprovechar el rec...

Methane emissions and chemical pollutants often co-occur in natural and engineered environments, contributing to ecosystem degradation. Microorganisms play key roles in regulating these processes through methane oxidatio...

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo articular conceptos, documentos y bibliografía acerca de los conflictos socio-ecológicos que viran en torno al Estuario de Bahía Blanca (Provincia de Buenos Aires) como escenari...

Estuaries function as sinks for microplastics due to their proximity to urban areas and pollution sources. Because of the great availability of plastic debris in these areas, these pollutants can be accumulated in biota ...

In the power plants operation, the combustion process will produce particulate emissions. Particulate emissions themselves are known have a negative impact on health, such as causing respiratory problems. The pattern of ...

Importance Tinnitus, affecting 10% to 15% of the global population, is a debilitating condition often linked to hearing loss and neurological disorders. While air pollution is a known risk factor for respiratory and card...

The analysis of the Air Quality Index (AQI) is currently a popular subject in the area of sustainable research, as it is crucial for investigating and analysing the effects of air pollutants on human health in urban envi...

The porous electrodes used in the EC treatment of emulsified oil wastewater were designed, and a study of the synergistic electro-flotation mechanism in this process was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics simulation sof...

Abstract In this study, graphitic carbon nitride, often known as g-C₃N₄, has also been shown to be a highly attractive photocatalyst that works well with visible light. However, its performance has been adversely aff...

Environmental factors such as air pollution, weather events, and ambient toxins are major contributors to human disease, with disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations. In Puerto Rico, chronic exposure to air po...

Calibration of low-cost air quality sensors (LCSs) for total volatile organic compound (TVOC) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) quantification remains challenging due to the sensors' cross-sensitivit...

Antimicrobial resistance threatens millions of lives annually, yet its acceleration by non-antibiotic pollutants remains poorly understood. Artificial sweeteners, now ubiquitous in soils and waters, are known individuall...

Abstract Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are widely explored for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants due to their high stability, low cost, and environmental compatibility. In this study, ZnO nanoparticles we...

Soil is a living, finite resource that shapes chemical fate, microbial ecology, nutrient supply, and climate regulation, yet environmental science and policy often treat it as an inert substrate. Approximately one-third ...

Abstract Bioremediation offers a sustainable strategy for removing heavy metals from water by transforming toxic pollutants into less hazardous forms. In this study, a highly metal-tolerant bacterium, Lysinibacillus fusi...

A regional raw clay was used as the starting material to prepare iron-pillared clays with different iron contents. The catalytic activity of these materials was tested in the heterogeneous photo-Fenton process, applied t...

The growing global demand for meat and particularly in countries such as Brazil is expected to increase intensive animal production. Consequently the main pollutants of interest are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and green...

Microplastics (MPs), environmental pollutants resulting from the degradation of plastic products and industrial processes, have become ubiquitous in global ecosystems. MPs can enter the human body through ingestion, inha...

Abstract Background Ambient air pollution has posed negative effects on human health. Individual-level factors may modify this effect, but previous studies have controversial conclusions, and evidence is lacking especial...

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent environmental pollutants widely used in industrial applications due to their thermal stability and chemical resistance. However, their persistence in the environ...

The Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region of China features a unique topographic structure. Influenced by synoptic-scale systems, the region’s atmospheric strata over the plains are distinct. This study utilizes ground aero...

Abstract Utilization of industrial waste to produce geopolymer concrete is a good answer to minimize the carbon-dioxide( Co2) released from the traditional procedure of producing Ordinary Portland cement (OPC). This not ...

Abstract Integrating environmental science with STEM education can strengthen scientific literacy and technological fluency. This review synthesizes literature on phytoremediation-based instruction and proposes an interd...
