The balance of electricity production and its consumption by the population of a certain territory, the volumes of direct and indirect hazardous substances emissions from the energy sector and the structure of the energy capacities of the region are the main factors determining the electricity pricing at the regional level. The calculations were carried out on the statistical data of 22 regions of Ukraine up to 2016. It is proposed to implement regional differentiation of retail tariffs for electricity. It is advisable to apply a reduction in fixed tariffs for electricity in 13 regions of Ukraine where the largest energy capacities concentrated. The increase in the electricity tariff is expected to be carried out in nine regions that do not meet the needs of the population with the help of energy of own production. The use of correction factors provides for the formation of long-term incentives for switching to the production of green energy both in regions that have a deficit and an excess of energy capacity.","PeriodicalId":13984,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66767061","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}

Aluminium, iron and thermotolerant coliforms levels exceeded the limits established by the Brazilian legislation at both sampling sites. There were no differences in MN frequencies between sites and species; however, H. luetkenii presented higher rates of NA in comparison to D. alburnus captured in the Ilha River. Thus, this study provides the first in situ database of DNA damage for these fish species. Furthermore, water quality parameters indicate both sampling sites are under anthropic impacts.","PeriodicalId":13984,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66766439","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 economic structure did not change much in the period between the two World Wars. Developing heavy industry was also a priority of the communist government's economic policy in 1948-1989. The economic structure changed during the transition process after 1990, but the pre-existing industries still dominate today. This structure together with the energy resource base, depending on low-quality coal, causes significant air pollution problems. Relatively recently elaborated long-term series of consolidated data on the GDP before 1990 offer an opportunity for using decoupling models to analyse major air pollutants - SO2, NOx and particulates with CO2 as one of the contributors to climate change. The results look unconventional as they show some turning points already since the 1980s, followed by major improvements since the 1990s, especially during the transition period. The paper also reviewed the air quality policies during the different historical periods. The discussion has shown that, despite significant social changes, some modes of environmental policy are 'path-dependent' in the country's overall history.","PeriodicalId":13984,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66766785","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}

A contamination factor (Cf) value of 2.7 was obtained from study results, which is considered to be a moderate level of Pb contamination in WLP waste. The bioaccessibility of Pb in digested WLP waste ranged between 0.064 ± 0.010 to 0.080 ± 0.010% and 0.018 ± 0.013 to 0.103 ± 0.046% in the gastric and gastrointestinal phases f, respectively, during the 5-hour study period. To evaluate the human health risks associated with Pb in WLP waste, the bioaccessible estimated daily intake (BEDI) and bioaccessible target hazard quotient (BTHQ) were calculated. The values obtained for children exceeded the recommended safe limit, in contrast to the values obtained for adults, indicating potential human health risks. The results of this study suggest that the WLP waste from Lynas waste disposal facility should be further evaluated and monitored to eliminate any adverse health effects associated with accidental human exposure to Pb.","PeriodicalId":13984,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJETM.2018.097900","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66765776","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 hydrothermal crystallisation technique was employed to deposit the charged inorganic oxides such as analcime-C, MCM-41 and γ-Al2O3 on the low cost ceramic support. The formation and purity of analcime-C, MCM-41 and γ-Al2O3 powders were verified by XRD analysis. The porosity, average pore size and water permeability of analcime-C composite membrane were calculated as 24% (23% and 29% for MCM-41 and γ-Al2O3 composite membrane), 0.155 μm (0.173 and 0.970 μm for MCM-41 and γ-Al2O3 composite membrane) and 4.53 × 10−8 m3/m2s.kPa (6.05 × 10−8 and 8.23 × 10−6 m3/m2s.kPa for MCM-41 and γ-Al2O3 composite membrane), respectively. To identify the effectiveness of the prepared composite membranes, applied pressure of the filtration process and initial dye concentration was varied to study their influence on the permeate flux and percentage of dye removal. The results showed that the percentage of dye removal is found to be reduced while increasing applied pressure for all the membranes. The maximum percentage of methyl orange removal was exhibited as 67% for analcime-C, 44% for MCM-41 and 56% for γ-Al2O3 membrane.","PeriodicalId":13984,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66766644","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}
