Understanding and effectively communicating the primary causes of climate change is critical for identifying solutions that can help address it. Scientists conduct numerous research studies focused on climate change and mitigating its effects, making it a central topic of discussion. Overall approaches are typically centered around sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions through green and innovative technologies. However, these approaches and scientific expressions can appear complex and abstract to the public, governments, and civil society organizations. In this regard, the role of communication is significant in creating long-term awareness among the public and generating action-oriented solution proposals. The use of effective language and storytelling techniques, localization, visualization, and effective use of media can help contextualize climate change issues, raise awareness, and build consciousness. The role of communication is undeniable in breaking down barriers between scientists and the public, ensuring that solutions to climate change problems are sustainable and effective, and facilitating the development of appropriate policies by governments and civil society organizations. It is essential to prioritize and conduct advanced research and develop innovative strategies for coordinated efforts between scientists and communication experts in addressing climate change and developing effective solutions.","PeriodicalId":126818,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research and Technology","volume":"99 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141272429","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}

The increase in soil temperature during large wildfires can be very critical, especially when oil or gas pipelines have been laid at a certain depth in the soil in or near forests. During forest fires, the temperature of the soil surface can reach extreme levels that penetrate deep into the ground if the fire is not extinguished within a short period of time. This increase in temperature on the soil surface can lead to extremely dangerous situations if the laying depth of the pipeline is not sufficient, since the heat conducted through the soil causes the surface temperature of the pipeline and therefore that of the fluid inside to also reach very high values. This can lead to a sudden rupture of the pipeline and ultimately lead to catastrophic consequences. Although the present study is conservative due to the assumptions made in structuring the numerical model, it is believed to provide invaluable information about the considerations in selecting gas pipeline locations and pipeline laying depths, while also taking into account extreme temperatures due to wildfires, seismic impacts and traffic loads. Future research could include extensive study on the energy content of different species of forest trees, considering their time-dependent heat release rates (HRR) during a forest fire, as well as experimental work if a realistic setup could be designed.","PeriodicalId":126818,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research and Technology","volume":"16 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141269293","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}

While previous studies traditionally attributed air pollution to sources like automobile emissions or industrial discharge, this study delves into the impact of consumer products, particularly fragrances, on both indoor and outdoor air pollution. Through a systematic review of existing research utilizing databases such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus, the study synthesizes findings regarding the composition of fragrances, regulatory practices related to ingredient labeling, and public awareness regarding the link between air pollution and fragrances. The findings indicate that the ingredients used in perfumes can contribute to air pollution and respiratory ailments, underscoring the need for stringent regulations. Despite this, there is a lack of comprehensive labeling requirements for perfume products worldwide, which may contribute to limited consumer awareness regarding the association between air quality and fragrances. Given the intimate relationship between air pollution and human well-being, this study underscores the importance of exercising caution in the use of household consumer products such as perfumes and air fresheners to mitigate their impact on air quality.","PeriodicalId":126818,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research and Technology","volume":"56 44","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141269146","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}

The microstructure and morphological characteristics of the resulting activated carbons were thoroughly investigated using BET, FTIR, XRD and SEM. The effectiveness of the prepared adsorbent materials in treating and remediating fluorinated water was evaluated. The impacts of several factors, including the dose of the adsorbent, the initial contamination of fluoride, pH as well as the effectiveness were investigated. In accordance with the data the highest adsorption was found to be at a 6 pH during 5 hours of processing duration and 0.5 g/L of dosage of adsorbent. The observational results were well-fit by the Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The highest ability and efficiency to adsorb fluoride was observed as 78%, at a pH value of 6 for 10 mg/L fluoride solution by the adsorbent prepared at 800 °C. Additional research on adsorption along with rejuvenation revealed that the reduction in adsorption potential to 10% following four repetitions of operation involving regeneration, thereby showcasing the adsorbent's versatile applicability for repeated use.","PeriodicalId":126818,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research and Technology","volume":"5 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140967345","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}

Using bioplastics, which are made from renewable resources and biodegradable, can reduce plastic pollution and promote environmental sustainability. This review article examines the role of bioplastics in today's society as alternative plastics. A variety of biodegradable polymers, including PLA, PHA, PBS, SB, CB and PUH, have been tested. Plastics made from bioplastics can be used in a wide range of industries, including packaging, biomedical devices, agriculture, and 3D printing. Despite tremendous advances, difficulties such as scalability, cost competitiveness, and end-of-life management remain, requiring additional research and innovation. For the development and implementation of bioplastic alternatives on a global scale, collaboration between academia, business, and governments is essential. Using bioplastics can reduce plastic pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and promote a more sustainable future. In order to address the challenges of plastic pollution in the 21st century, it is important to switch to biodegradable and ecologically friendly materials.","PeriodicalId":126818,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research and Technology","volume":"20 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140966836","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}

However, when lignocellulosic biomass is used as natural fiber in composite production, it may have some disadvantages such as low interfacial bonding with the matrix phase. The most common methods used to strengthen the bonding between the matrix phase and the additive material is to use maleic anhydride (MA) as a compatibilizer and some chemicals such as dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as reaction initiators to increase the compatibilizing effect of MA. Therefore, in this study, olive pomace oil maleate (OPOMA) was prepared to be used in the production of PLA composites. Olive pomace obtained with ionic liquid pretreatment (OP-IL) in the previous studies of the authors and OPOMA were used in composite production with a biodegradable polymer of PLA. The composite was obtained by mixing 95PLA+5OP-IL by weight in twin-screw extruder at 190ºC for 10 minutes. Under the same conditions, the effect of OPOMA was evaluated by adding 0.5%, 1% and 2% ratio to PLA + OP-IL. In FTIR spectrum of OPOMA, a new symmetrical and asymmetric C=O bands were formed differently from olive oil. While the addition of low doses of OPOMA to PLA+OP-IL composites increased the tensile elongation value, tensile strength did not change. The elasticity modulus showed less change compared to other mechanical properties. To conclude, it can be emphasized that oil maleates of lignocellulosic biomasses can be promising compatibilizer for biodegradable composite matrices","PeriodicalId":126818,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research and Technology","volume":"10 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140971880","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}

Though the most developed territories generate the highest amount of e-wastes, little efforts has been put towards managing them. European countries, including UK, Germany, and France are managing significant amount of e-wastes responsibly. The informal and unscientific management of e-wastes led to severe health and environmental hazards. The traditional waste management methods, such as, landfilling, and incineration expels significant amount of heavy and toxic chemicals to the environment, leading to severe air, water, and soil pollution. However, proper management strategies for e-wastes not only inhibit the associated harmful effect towards the lives on earth, but also favour circular economy. The sustainability of the strategies for managing e-wastes lie in the responsibility of all stakeholders associated with it.
