Tracking Post‐Consumer Packaging Plastics With Global Positioning Systems: Pilot Study in Malaysia

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landfilling and the mismanagement of packaging plastic waste pose significant challenges in developing countries, especially in Southeast Asia. There is an empirical gap in plastic waste management data, which is largely handled by informal players despite established municipal solid waste collection systems.

The identification of key factors determining the sustainability of stormwater systems

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Land cover changes may cause a disturbance in the water cycle, the consequence of which is an increase in the volume of stormwater runoff. In such a situation, the use of traditional stormwater systems leads to a number of problems, including the ...

The Role of the Private Sector in the Governance of Circular Cities Initiatives: Towards a Conceptual Framework

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing policy and scholarly interest in circular cities, limited attention has been paid to how private‐sector actors shape the governance of circular urban transitions across different spatial contexts. Existing research has largely focused on circular business models, technological innovation, and municipal strategies, while ...

Circular Economy in the Built Environment: A Systematic Literature Review 2005–2025

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular economy (CE) offers a viable pathway for advancing sustainable development in the built environment (BE) due to its potential to reduce waste, resource extraction, and environmental impacts. This study conducts a systematic literature review (2005–2025) to examine CE research through a unifying analytical perspective across the ...

Climate‐Modulated Particle Toxicity: Acute Exposure to an Environmentally Informed Microplastic Mixture Induces Sex‐Dependent Systemic Reorganization in Swiss Mice

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is widely recognized as an emerging environmental threat. Yet, most studies still rely on controlled experimental conditions that poorly reflect environmental complexity, potentially underestimating risks under realistic scenarios, particularly during short‐term exposures. Here, we tested whether acute oral exposure

Assessment of Metal Contamination and Human Health Risk in the Buffalo River Estuary, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in estuarine environments poses environmental and public health concerns, particularly where surface waters support domestic and subsistence uses. This study assessed the seasonal distribution, controlling mechanisms, and non‐carcinogenic health risks of selected metals (Mg, Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, and Zn) in the Buffalo River ...

Partitioning of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Fecal Indicators Varies Intra and Inter-Storm during Combined Sewer Overflows

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) degrade water quality through the release of microbial contaminants in CSO effluent. Improved understanding of the partitioning of microbial contaminants onto settleable particles can provide insight into their fate in end-
