Water quality polluted by total suspended solids classified within an Artificial Neural Network approach [PDF]

arXiv
This study investigates the application of an artificial neural network framework for analysing water pollution caused by solids. Water pollution by suspended solids poses significant environmental and health risks. Traditional methods for assessing and predicting pollution levels are often time-consuming and resource-intensive.

External and internal human exposure to PFOA and HFPOs around a mega fluorochemical industrial park, China: Differences and implications

Environment International, 2021
Hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer and trimer acids (HFPO-DA and HFPO-TA) are used as alternatives to legacy perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA); however, little is known about their human exposure risks.

High Thermoelectric Performance in Low‐Cost Cu8SiSxSe6‐x Argyrodite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study discovers the great potential of Cu8SiSxSe6‐x argyrodites as new, low‐cost, Te‐free thermoelectric materials. The proposed defect scheme suppresses the phase transition, enhances the weighted mobility and optimizes the grain boundary contacts.

Real-time Pollutant Identification through Optical PM Micro-Sensor [PDF]

arXiv
Air pollution remains one of the most pressing environmental challenges of the modern era, significantly impacting human health, ecosystems, and climate. While traditional air quality monitoring systems provide critical data, their high costs and limited spatial coverage hinder effective real-time pollutant identification.

Estimating Sectoral Pollution Load in Lagos, Nigeria Using Data Mining Techniques [PDF]

A.B ADEYEMO, A.A OKETOLA, E.O ADETULA, O.OSIBANJO (2012): Estimating Sectoral Pollution Load in Lagos, Nigeria Using Data Mining Techniques,International-Journal-of-Computer-Science-Issues, Volume 9, Issue 6, November 2012 pages 465-475, 2013
Industrial pollution is often considered to be one of the prime factors contributing to air, water and soil pollution. Sectoral pollution loads (ton/yr) into different media (i.e. air, water and land) in Lagos were estimated using Industrial Pollution Projected System (IPPS).

Environmental compliance costs and innovation activity in UK manufacturing industries [PDF]

We examine the relationship between environmental regulations and innovation, using data from UK manufacturing industry during 2000-2006. We estimate a dynamic model of innovation behaviour, and explicitly account for the likely endogeneity of our ...

Simple traffic measures significantly reduce the exposure of primary school children to NO₂ [PDF]

, 2019
According to Public Health England (PHE, 2019) air quality is the largest environmental health risk in the UK; long-term exposure to air pollution claims some 28-36,000 premature deaths each year.

Versatile Green Transfer of Magnetoelectronics with Loss‐Free Performance and High Adhesion for Interactive Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An environmentally friendly transfer printing method of nm‐thick giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensors is demonstrated. This method, relying on water and biocompatible polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer without the need of complex treatments, allows transferring thin films to a wide range of biological, organic, and inorganic substrates.
