Adverse meteorological conditions, stubble burning, and the celebration of Diwali were considered as the major responsible factors for the smog episodes. This study was designed to identify the concentration and relative risks associated with the exposure of PM2.5 in ambient air of Delhi during the episodic events. Methods 24-h average ambient levels of PM2.5 were procured for the year 2015–2020. Relative risks of cardiopulmonary and lung cancer diseases associated with PM2.5 exposure have been estimated using a probabilistic approach of risk assessment. Findings The average relative risks (2015–2020) for lung cancer mortality (RR 2.15; 95% CI 2.13, 2.17., p < 0.001) were observed higher than cardiopulmonary mortality (RR 1.66; 95% CI 1.65, 1.67., p < 0.001). An attempt has been done to identify the effect of high exposure concentration on relative risks particularly during smog period. The estimated relative risks during November (2016–2018) for lung cancer mortality were ranged as 2.51–2.68 and cardiopulmonary mortality were ranged as 1.85–1.93. Conclusion Such high levels of associated relative risks during such episodes could be considered as an important additive hazard factor for overall mortality burden. Graphical Abstract Highlights PM2.5 produced during smog event has a serious impact on the respiratory and cardiopulmonary health, resulted in increment of relative risks; Relative risks of lung cancer mortality were higher in compare of cardiopulmonary mortality, suggesting more carcinogenic effects of fine particles on human health; The results of the study suggest that there is a strong effect of location, days and burning practices, when estimating air quality.","PeriodicalId":11761,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Claims Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"205 - 222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45897279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the last two centuries, batteries have been steadily improving in functionality, size, environmental impact, and safety. The market for battery use today is in the multi-hundred billion and anticipated to continue growing with the demand. As this ubiquitous nature of batteries grow – so do the prevalence of the associated risks they pose. The functionality of any battery system is a chemical reaction, and not only are these chemicals potentially toxic, but they are also inherently unstable. Throughout the life cycle of a battery, mismanagement of this delicate yet powerful technology can lead to costly business disruptions, potential harm to human health, or environmental damage. This paper seeks to identify the primary risks at each stage of a battery’s life cycle and understand how such risks are managed for the unique chemistries and operations.","PeriodicalId":11761,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Claims Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"1 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44509868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 1974-2004, trade in textiles was subject to quota-based restrictions that effectively limited global apparel production. Since these quotas were phased out in the early 2000s, global clothing production has roughly doubled. Despite this, there is currently no literature – legal or otherwise – assessing the environmental impacts of such a major change in global trade policy. This paper shows how the textile quota phase-out has enabled the ‘fast fashion’ phenomenon, and exacerbated the environmental consequences that accompany it. In addition, it assesses the legal viability of reintroducing some form of textile quotas under current international trade law. Based on this analysis, it concludes that reforms in trade-related policy and jurisprudence are urgently needed and ultimately inevitable.","PeriodicalId":11761,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Claims Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"17 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45634764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These heavy metals have no useful role in human life and may be toxic even at trace concentration and ultimately causes serious health concern. Thus the removal of heavy metals from landfill leachate is necessary and one of the effective ways to minimize the further contamination. In this article Kaolinite is used as an adsorbent to remove lead and copper ions through the batch adsorption process. The maximum removal efficiency of 81.96% was observed for lead and 57.58% for copper with 20 g/l of kaolinite. Thus, it can be observed that kaolinite has a good potential to be used for the removal of heavy metal ions from landfill leachate as it is cost effective, abundant and easily available adsorbent.","PeriodicalId":11761,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Claims Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"184 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45549328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
