This panic making is a hundred-fold of what it’s worth. What these kingpins of the underworld, who pretend to run the upper world, perhaps miscalculated, is that in today’s globalized and vastly outsourced world the west depends massively on China’s supply chain, for consumer goods, and for intermediary merchandise – and, foremost for medication and medical equipment. At least 80% of medication or ingredients for medication, as well as for medical equipment come from China. The western China dependence for antibiotics is even higher, some 90%. The potential impacts on health are devastating. During the height of the COVID-19 epidemic China’s production apparatus for everything was almost shut-down. For deliveries that were still made, merchandise vessels were regularly and categorically turned back from many harbors all around the world. So, the west has tricked itself into a shortage-of-everything mode by waging a de facto “economic war” on China.","PeriodicalId":15742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental and Analytical Toxicology","volume":"25 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90373080","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}

In order to identify existing problems in the fate and effects of HBCD on environment and human health, special attention is given to the numerous advances in the methods of analysis, toxicological effects, migration, transformation, and degradation of HBCD and its by-products, as well as distribution of HBCD in the environment and human bodies. Beside the studies of toxicity and distribution, the analysis method of HBCD did not get enough attention and the studies and reviews which related to the analysis method were very few. However, the analysis of HBCD is a continuing challenge mainly because of the limited concentrations in the environment and the large amounts of interfering substances during the measurement. The mistakes during the analysis procedure will seriously affect the study on HBCDs. According, this review paper mainly focuses on the studies of HBCD in recent years and summarizes the sample pretreatment, including sample collection, extraction, concentration and fractionation, and the instrumental analysis of HBCD.","PeriodicalId":15742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental and Analytical Toxicology","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80667788","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}

Rahil","doi":"10.4172/2161-0525.1000590","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2161-0525.1000590","url":null,"abstract":"The current use and shift from fossil fuels to renewable resources is not the only reason for adopting alternative energy resources. Certain rural communities lack the access to the available resources, due to multiple factors: proximity, technical-skill, access, off-grid systems and socio-economic factors. Even though the most frequently sort out renewable system for electrification is solar energy, particularly for temperate climates with vast abundance and high solar radiation. The contribution of solar energy harnessed using photovoltaic panels has been significantly beneficial to remote areas off-grid with no access to main grid system; other challenges encountered are varied, depending on the project outcome. Some of which are cost optimization and storage units. The demand and supply side response for electrification has largely been determined by the prevailing market rate. A demand side response (DSR) approach is applied to tackle this challenge, this determines the current energy requirements of the community and identifies the optimal hybrid system with or without storage. For this analysis, two systems scenarios were modelled: (1) PV with Diesel Generator System and (2) PV with Battery Storage System. \u0000In each system four photovoltaic panels (PV) sizes which were chosen, tested and analysed for optimal sizing. The PV sizes were 0.4 kW, 0.6 kW, 0.8 kW and 1 kW. The optimization between these sizes was built based on three main objectives – (a) Energy Demand Satisfaction /Demand Side Response (b) System Cost and (c) pollution. In both system scenarios, the optimal size was the 1 kW with battery storage and 1 kW with diesel generator. A further comparative analysis was carried out between the two systems; when the diesel generator is used and when the battery is applied. Both scenarios can sufficiently meet the demand without any considerable interruption, but disparities exist between them in relation to cost and technical optimization. A highly significant difference in the costs between the two system scenarios were detected. The total cost in PV-Battery system represents only 26% of the PV system. Also, the PV and Battery system does not release any harmful emissions compared with nearly 6 tCO2 /year in the PV with Diesel system.","PeriodicalId":15742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental and Analytical Toxicology","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75720506","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}

In 2015, water scarcity was mentioned as largest global risk by World Economic Forum. If water resources are not managed properly, about 30% to 40% of world population will be affected from shortage of water by 2020. In recent years certain cities/states of Spain, Australia, Israel, Cape town, even USA had faced scarcity of water. The same problem is expected to be faced by Pakistan by 2025. An Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) approach is required to resolves this serious issue. IWRM focuses on protection of available water resources and exploration & development of alternative water resources. This paper describes Reverse Osmosis of sea water as an alternative water resource. One of major issues in introducing Reverse osmosis plant in Pakistan is cost overruns. Financial analysis of power consumption for plant along with membrane construction and maintenance make its installation very difficult even impossible for developing countries like Pakistan. A method for installation of reverse osmosis plant by economizing power factor to reduce process cost has been developed. For this purpose, electricity is generated by introducing wind turbines and solar panels along the coastal belt of Pakistan. This reduced fresh water production cost to 0.069 rupees per gallon along with electricity supply to Karachi at a production cost of 0.28 rupees per watt (1 PKR=0.0081 USD).","PeriodicalId":15742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental and Analytical Toxicology","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73025031","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}

{"title":"Toxicological Effects of Chlorophenols to Green Algae in Case of Coexisting Humic Substances","authors":"D. Suzuki, R. Shoji","doi":"10.4172/2161-0525.1000584","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2161-0525.1000584","url":null,"abstract":"Chlorophenols are well known as various pesticide, herbicide, wood preservative and defoliant. Whereas, they are also known as pollutants having strong toxicity to aquatic organisms such as phytoplankton. Nowadays, they have been discussed about effect of pesticides to the health of human beings, but less to ecosystem. The toxicity of pollutants such as heavy metals and HOPs (Hydrophobic Organic Pollutants) is influenced by coexisting dissolved organic matter (DOM). Majority of DOM consists of humic substances such as fluvic acid and humic acid (HA) derived from microbiological metabolisms in soil environment. The objective of this study is to elucidate the effect of coexisting HA to the toxicity of chlorophenols to Chlorella. Algal growth inhibition (AGI) test was chosen to examine the toxicity of chlorophenols as growth inhibition rate following the OECD guideline 201. Chlorella was selected to test organism as the representative of phytoplankton. Chlorophenols including 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and p-chlorophenol (P-CP), and pentachlorophenol (PCP) were examined. Several different concentrations (100, 50, 25, 5, 0.5 ppm) of chlorophenols were exposed to Chlorella. The cell density was measured by absorbance measurement (λ=690 nm) at 24 h and 72 h of administered time. Results of no coexisting and coexisting 10 ppm HA were compared. It was predicted that coexisting HA decreases the toxicity of chlorophenols because of adsorption. Whereas, some enhancement of toxicity was observed at several concentrations in case of 2,4,6-TCP. It was assumed that HA acts as mediator of chlorophenols to the inside of phytoplankton cells, then the toxicity was enhanced. In recent years, interactions of HA to metabolisms of organisms have been studied in fact. This study suggests that HA could be enhancer of toxicity at water environment. Interesting Effects of coexistence of HA to the toxicity of chlorophenols including 2,4,6-DCP and p -CP were also observed. *Corresponding authors: Daisuke Suzuki, Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tokyo College, Tokyo 193-0997, Japan, Tel: 81426685111; E-mail: dsuzuki8forb@gmail.com Ryo Shoji, Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tokyo College, Tokyo 193-0997, Japan, Tel: 81426685076; E-mail: shoji@tokyo-ct.ac.jp Received August 09, 2018; Accepted August 16, 2018; Published August 21, 2018 Citation: Suzuki D, Shoji R (2018) Toxicological Effects of Chlorophenols to Green Algae in Case of Coexisting Humic Substances.
