International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The atmospheric chemistry of 1,4‐difluorobutane (CFH2CH2CH2CFH2) was investigated through a kinetic and mechanistic study of the reaction with chlorine (Cl) atoms and hydroxyl (OH) radicals. Using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and relative rate methods, the rate constants (k) for the reactions were determined at 298 ± 2 K as k(

Climate metrics and the carbon footprint of livestock products: where’s the beef?
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 The livestock sector is estimated to account for 15% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, 80% of which originate from ruminant animal systems due to high emissions of methane (CH _4 ) from enteric fermentation and manure management.

Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment for Informing Packaging Eco‐Design and Eco‐Modulation
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Eco‐modulation is designed to promote the adoption of eco‐design. However, in practice, its application is mostly concentrated on end‐of‐life (EoL) optimization. This study addresses the gap by proposing a framework to assess product–packaging systems as integrated units throughout the full life cycle.
