Microbial Concrete: A step towards mitigating the climate change and global warming at micro level

El Morabet R., (Corresponding) Roohul Abad K., Muhannad A.

Topic:

Urban environment and health

The post-industrial revolution anthropogenic activities are mainly responsible for Pollution worldwide. This pollution is recognized globally in terms of Global warming and Climate change as their resultant impacts are felt worldwide. The world-wide effort for mitigation of climate change and...Read more

Effect of anthropogenic sources on total particles and Cloud Condensation Nuclei levels in the Eastern Mediterranean

(Corresponding) Bougiatioti A., Zarmpas P., Kalkavouras P., Mihalopoulos N.

Topic:

Urban environment and health

The absorption and scattering of radiation by atmospheric aerosol particles, especially those originating from anthropogenic activities, is a key component of anthropogenic climate change. Aerosol particles also act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) “indirectly” forcing climate through the...Read more

An initial study of the opinions of car purchasers in Poland: do they choose electric vehicles?

(Corresponding) Bienias K., Kowalska- Pyzalska A., Ramsey D.

Topic:

Urban environment and health

Road transport causes one fifth of the EU's total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), which are especially high in cities. A suggested solution to this situation is the introduction of electric vehicles (EV). However, evidence from European countries shows that, the sales of EVs are low in...Read more

Flame Retardants (polybrominated diphenyl ethers, PBDEs) and Organophoshates, OPFRs) In Dust from Canadian Fire Stations

Brown R., Tarrant D., Gill R., Dhaliwal J., Sarala R., Patton S., Park J., (Corresponding) Petreas M.

Topic:

Urban environment and health

Dust is a good medium to assess indoor exposures to many persistent organics, including flame retardants. With concerns regarding persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity of many flame retardants, a series of bans and regulations have created shifts in their usage. For firefighters, exposures to...Read more
