This show the biodegradation of spent lubricating oil by Bacillus sp. and a marine bacterial consortium. The consortium showed higher growth, biosurfactant production and oil removal efficiency than the isolated strain, highlighting its potential for bioremediation ABSTRACT Spent automotive lubricating oil contains complex hydrocarbons and heavy metals,

Human placental exposure to pollutant nanoparticles: uptake, translocation and functional impact
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to pollutant nanoparticles has been increasingly investigated due to concerns about their potential effects on placental function and pregnancy outcomes. Maternal inhalation of pollutant nanoparticles can result in a pro‐inflammatory response; particles can also translocate across the alveolus epithelial barrier

ABSTRACT In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), a remediation technology for soil and groundwater contamination, utilizes oxidants that can impact the soil environment and indirectly influence soil CO2 emissions. Understanding these emissions may support more sustainable ISCO applications by enabling adjustments to treatment conditions that limit ...

ABSTRACT Studying employment dynamics (e.g., the rates at which firms add or shed jobs) of trucking firms is critical to inform theory and public policy. We examine incumbent trucking firm employment dynamics during the highly expansive period of March 2020–March 2021, when the COVID‐19 pandemic delivered an exogenous shock, upending established ...

The impact of public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile delivery
Abstract The growing concern over emissions from last‐mile logistics is motivating the development of innovative delivery models aimed at reducing environmental impact and traffic congestion. To this end, we propose a last‐mile delivery scheme based on both public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots.

Do Voluntary and Mandatory Clean Truck Programs Improve Air Quality Around Ports?
ABSTRACT States and port authorities have implemented “Clean Truck” programs (CTPs) to encourage trucking companies to transition to newer, cleaner trucks to reduce the emissions around ports. We examine the comparative effectiveness of mandatory and voluntary CTPs implemented across major United States ports.

ABSTRACT Rationale Vehicular traffic is a major source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases in megacities; however, real‐world constraints on vehicle‐derived N2O emissions and their isotopic characteristics remain limited. Methods Air samples were collected from three tunnels and urban background sites (a university campus and mountain) in Seoul, South ...
