Abstract. Food choices are shifting globally in ways that are negatively affecting both human health and the environment. Here we consider how consuming an additional serving per day of each of 15 foods is associated with 5 health outcomes in adults and 5 aspects of agriculturally driven environmental degradation.
The persistent nature of glitter explains its role in plastic pollution. Thanks to its small-from-the-get-go size, most glitter does not continue to break down, remaining intact from the cradle to ...
The sand washing machine can wash away the soil and impurities on the surface of the sand, and at the same time destroy the water vapor layer covering the sand, so as to facilitate dehydration, play …
In the case of these phases, the electricity consumption resulting from the operation of the facilities and product cooling is particularly noteworthy. After establishing the critical points, based on the environmental impact perspective, this paper proposes three measures to reduce the environmental impact of the process.
The hand wash and kitchen wash wastewater effluents were treated separately in that study. The treatment processes included pre-treatment by screens and grease traps, followed by slow sand biofiltration integrated with anaerobic sludge bioreactor, then aeration, and finally disinfection by ozone.
