Reducing the environmental impact of construction wastes by their use in the preparation of construction mixtures
(Corresponding) Junak J., Sicakova A.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
At present, great emphasis is placed on protecting the environment. Civil engineering, mainly cement production, greatly pollutes the surrounding environment. Even the excavation of aggregate, which is one of the basic components of concrete, does not make any extra contribution to the...Read more
Ultrafine and nanoparticles emissions from hospital waste incineration: characterization and chemical speciation.
(Corresponding) Cernuschi S., Lonati G., Ozgen S., Signorini S.
Topic:
Air pollution
Focus on atmospheric particulate matter has recently steadily shifted towards finer size fractions, namely those particles with dimensions included from 2.5 µm down to the minimum practical detection limit of few nm. These fractions share the higher burden of health related effects arising from...Read more
