Spatial vulnerability of the island was assessed using the degree-day indicator to investigate heating and cooling demands in the near future using daily temperature projections from …

Sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide used in lithium extraction penetrate the soil and water, poisoning ecosystems and endangering species. Research from the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society shows that two flamingo species in Chile are threatened because of lithium mining. Deforestation, habitat destruction and water pollution further ...

Fertiliser production can entail massive environmental impacts regarding the energy demand and raw materials to manufacture it [ 1 ]. Natural gas and coal are highly consumed in manufacturing and contribute to climate change. In addition, the raw materials used to produce fertilisers, such as iron oxide minerals and phosphate rock, …

Results from a larger comparative study of the impacts of tourism on two communities: Ayia Napa/Paralimni in the southern part of Cyprus (among Greek Cypriot residents), and Kyrenia in the northern part (among Turkish Cypriots). Evidence suggests that the prevailing attitude is that socio-economic and environmental costs of …

However, as with any remediation technique, the use of nanomaterials can also cause undesirable impacts on human health and the environment. Thus, this study aims to characterize and analyze the environmental and economic impacts of the production methods of nZVI used in the remediation of contaminated sites.

This study conducts a life cycle assessment for iron and steel production in Turkey using SimaPro soft-ware and IMPACT 2002þ impact assessment method with the purpose of comparing the impacts of processes (coke making, sintering, iron making, steel making) and nal products (billet, slab, hot rolled fi wire rod, hot rolled coil), concurrently.

The environmental impact of the production of one ton of ready grey cast-iron castings was quantified, and the significant components of the LCA model were identified. The Hronec foundry model is situated in Slovakia, and its average annual production is 6000 tons of grey cast-iron castings. The production consists of typical …

A sustainable low-carbon transition via electric vehicles will require a comprehensive understanding of lithium-ion batteries' global supply chain environmental impacts. Here, we analyze the cradle-to-gate energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of current and future nickel-manganese-cobalt and lithium-iron-phosphate battery …

Cyprus relies on seawater desalination for a large part of its drinking water supply, with reverse osmosis providing more than 95% of the total desalinati...

In this paper assessment results of environmental impacts in conventional blast furnace iron-making system based on LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) will be presented.

The questionnaire completed by our respondents comprised four sections. The first consisted of 15 attitudinal statements concerning the economic, social and environmental impacts of tourism, five in each of the three categories. A final state ment sought to provide information on the overall assessment of tourism by the respondent.

We also discuss long-term climate reconstructions to explore the potential impact of environmental pressures on harvests. These large datasets offer the first testimony covering a large geographical window from local archaeological deposits to the Mediterranean basin and demonstrate that a climate shift was coeval with the 3.2 ka BP …

This article presents information on the wastes generated and associated during iron ore extraction and beneficiation, and their environmental impacts. Further, it focuses on the possible reuse of the waste into the …

The low price of natural gas and abundance of iron ore in Iran make the production of gas-based steel with sponge iron more appealing. Additionally, it was shown that using sponge iron in the coal-based process results in high environmental impacts compared to other scenarios (gas-based systems) which can have a significant impact …

Environmental impact of Iron ore mining on quality of surface water and Health of the inhabitants of I takpe, Nigeria was investigated. Since the commencement of iron ore mining in Itakpe in …

In general, the total environmental impacts are lower for the green synthesis, suggesting the implementation of environmentally friendlier compounds based on natural sources for the production of ...

Nevertheless, the environmental impacts of desalination for the Cypriot environment remain poorly understood. Using a combination of mining existing governmental and corporate survey data and reports, this study explores the scale of desalination in Cyprus, the impacts on the coastal marine environment and its overall carbon footprint.

It encompasses three categories of human impacts on the biosphere: (1) indirect depletion of living systems through alterations in physical and chemical environments, (2) direct depletion of nonhuman life, and (3) direct degradation of human life ( Table 1 ; Karr and Chu, 1995 ). Identifying and understanding the biological …

This paper uses life cycle assessment method to carry out inventory and quantitative analysis on the environmental impact of steelmaking system and shows that molten iron has the greatest impact on human health, followed by …
