Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Iowa Population Exposures to Metals and Metalloids in Well Water
ABSTRACT Previous Iowa studies suggest low levels and chronic arsenic exposures are associated with prostate cancer. The rural Iowa population heavily relies on private wells for drinking water resources and thus is vulnerable to contaminants such as heavy metals found in well water.

ABSTRACT In this study, we examined metal accumulation and biochemical responses of Azolla imbricata (Roxb.) Nakai exposed to water medium (WM) and nutrient medium (NM) under single and combined (co‐exposure) treatments with five metals (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) at 10% environmentally relevant concentrations.

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal
Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...
