Sustainable Development Goals Applied to the Maritime Transportation Sector: Setting Sail for the Future

open access: yesNatural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to eradicate poverty, protect the environment, and promote prosperity through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals requires a multi‐sectoral approach. Maritime transportation, vital to the global economy, significantly contributes to several SDGs and plays a strategic ...

Reallocation Effects of Internalizing Externalities: Evidence From China's Straw Burning Ban

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the reallocation effects of a typical environmental policy aiming to internalize externalities: the straw burning ban across China. The ban prohibited the traditional farming practice of burning straw while compelling the labour‐intensive practice of straw utilization.

Ozone‐driven degradation of sex pheromone in Plutella xylostella: Implications for reproductive communication and mating success

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we examined whether realistic ozone concentrations can interfere with sexual communication in the insect pest Plutella xylostella, the diamondback moth. Ozone exposure caused a degradation of pheromone components, leading to significant changes in blend composition and component ratios.

Do Global Reporting Initiative Reports Capture Planetary Boundaries‐related Information? An Empirical Investigation

open access: yesAbacus, 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 ...

Postcode‐Level Variation and Environmental Determinants of Respiratory Allergies in a Large German Cohort

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Young children (0–9 years) and residents of urban areas appeared particularly vulnerable to respiratory allergy development and exacerbation. Incidence showed nonlinear associations with PM10, PM2.5, temperature, and alder/birch pollen, while DPMR showed similar patterns, except for NO2 and the interaction O3*NO2.

Control of NOx emissions by NOx recycle approach

Symposium (International) on Combustion, 1996
NO3 recycle is an alternative approach for the control of NOx emissions from combustion. It uses regenerable sorbent to adsorb NOx in the flue gas from a combustor followed by desorption, producing a highly concentrated NOx-laden stream containing both NO and NO2. This stream is then sent back to the same combustor or to a separate combustor, where the

Anthropogenic emissions of SO2 and NOx in Asia: Emission inventories

Atmospheric Environment, 1992
Abstract The anthropogenic emissions of SO2 and NOx for 25 Asian countries east of Afghanistan and Pakistan have been calculated for 1975, 1980, 1985, 1986 and 1987 based on fuel consumption, sulfur content in fuels and emission factors for used fuels in each emission category.

Computations of NOx Emissions of Domestic Boilers

ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, 2001
AbstractDue to severe regulations concerning pollutant emissions, practical devices using combustion to release energy must be designed from the start using accurate, predictive numerical tools. A partially premixed methane/air flame in a two‐dimensional configuration is investigated in this work.

NOx Chemistry and Emissions — I

2000
Nitrous oxide (N2O) concentrations in the atmosphere increase at an estimated rate of 0.7–0.8 ppb per year. The combustion of solid fuels and waste at lower temperatures (750–900 °C) constitutes a significant source of N2O. During stages of a coal particle combustion (pyrolysis-devolatilisation and char combustion) both volatile-N and char- N are ...

Modelling of In-Line Low-NOX Calciners—NOX Emission

Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 2003
The influence of the air combustion mixing into the main flow, operating conditions and fuel type on the level of NO emission in the in-line low-NO x calciners was investigated. The analysis was carried out using a heterogeneous mathematical model based on non-isothermal diffusion-reaction models for char combustion and limestone calcination.
