Thermal Decomposition of Lower-GWP Refrigerants
, 2014 The use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) has been widely restricted. They have been replaced with hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in order to protect the ozone layer. However, the leakage of refrigerant into air from active or end-of-life air conditioners has been a serious environmental issue owing to the high global ...

United States dairy farms and global warming
Journal of Dairy Science: Several metrics have been developed for combining the warming effects of various GHG. The metric used can affect the life cycle assessment and comparison of dairy production systems due to the weighting placed on long- versus short-lived gases in the ...

The Price Gap in Agriculture‐Based Greenhouse Gas Offset Markets
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Today, there is a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas net emissions (GHGNE). For economic well‐being, it is important to identify low‐cost means of net emission offsets. Agriculture and forestry have received considerable attention as a means of supplying emissions offsets, as they contribute nearly 20% of global emissions.

Estimating the Carbon Footprint of External Beam Radiotherapy: Should This Be a Concern for LMICs?
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose This study aims to estimate the carbon footprint associated with external beam radiotherapy in a low‐ and middle‐income country (LMIC) context, specifically at the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI), and to evaluate whether sustainability should be a priority alongside treatment access in such radiation therapy settings.

Abacus, EarlyView.The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has become a widely adopted sustainability reporting framework. This study aims to examine whether GRI reports can, should, and do address planetary boundaries. To do so, the study develops a framework and method to assess the extent to which planetary boundaries‐related information is captured in firms’ GRI ...

Allergy, EarlyView.Healthcare systems contribute up to 5% of global GHG emissions, with inhalers contributing a proportion of these. The carbon footprint of current salbutamol inhalers (pMDI with HFA‐134a propellant and DPI) and a planned salbutamol pMDI with low‐GWP propellant HFA‐152a was quantified across seven countries.
