The global demand of plastics has increased majorly because of their versatility, light weight, strength and cost-effectiveness. Africa is ranked top in mismanagement of plastics waste resulting to plastic problem in the environment. Nevertheless, plastics produce micro-plastics through degradation and fragmentation of plastic debris largely from anthropogenic sources. Micro-plastics have become ubiquitous in the natural environment and terrestrial environment is the major source. The propensity of micro-plastics to adsorb and concentrate persistent organic pollutants (POPs) provides potential health effects in the different tropical levels of organisms both in aquatic and territorial environments. Thus, the fate of micro-plastics is increasingly becoming a global concern. Despite the numerous global studies on the impact of micro-plastics in the environment, there is insufficient data available on the occurrence, distribution of micro-plastics and associated health effects in aquatic ecosystems in Africa. The reviewed research articles from 2000 – 2021 provide a summary of the current knowledge on the occurrence and distribution of micro-plastics, analytical approaches used to detect and quantify micro-plastics, associated health effects and mitigation measures through government policy to ban plastic use in Africa. The findings presented, provide a platform for future research to focus on the associated effects of adsorbed and concentrated persistent organic pollutants on micro-plastics in aquatic environments in Africa. With the evidence presented policy makers will make more informed decision on the future of plastics in Africa. We recommend improving information and expanding knowledge through research on the fate and potential ecological impact of micro-plastics in aquatic environments in Africa.
全球对塑料的需求增长主要是因为它们的多功能性、重量轻、强度和成本效益。非洲在塑料垃圾管理不善导致环境中的塑料问题方面排名第一。尽管如此,塑料通过降解和破碎主要来自人为来源的塑料碎片来生产微塑料。微塑料已经在自然环境中无处不在,陆地环境是其主要来源。微塑料吸附和浓缩持久性有机污染物的倾向对水生和领土环境中不同热带水平的生物体的健康产生了潜在影响。因此,微塑料的命运正日益成为全球关注的问题。尽管对微塑料对环境的影响进行了大量的全球研究,但关于微塑料在非洲水生生态系统中的发生、分布和相关健康影响的数据不足。回顾了2000-2001年的研究文章,总结了目前关于微塑料的发生和分布、用于检测和量化微塑料的分析方法、相关的健康影响以及通过政府政策在非洲禁止使用塑料的缓解措施的知识。所提出的研究结果为未来的研究提供了一个平台,重点关注非洲水生环境中吸附和浓缩的持久性有机污染物对微塑料的相关影响。有了这些证据,政策制定者将对非洲塑料的未来做出更明智的决定。我们建议通过研究微塑料在非洲水生环境中的命运和潜在生态影响来改善信息并扩大知识。

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) has proved to be an effective technology for treatment of wastewater with additional advantage of electricity generation. Though the power density obtained has increased many- folds over a last decade, the cost of treatment and cost of the electricity generation need to be brought down to make the process feasible. In the present research, an attempt has been made to use locally available, low cost and effective materials for the construction of the MFC using novel anode architecture. The MFC was made using multiple membranes in the single cell. The special design of anode proved to be very effective in getting higher power density. The volumetric power density of 2002 mW/m3 could be achieved without use of any chemical catholyte. The corresponding Coulombic efficiency obtained was 13.17%. When chemical catholyte was used, the power density increased to 5201 mW/m3, an increase by more than 2.5 times. The corresponding Coulombic efficiency of the MFC also increased to 29.16 %. Such novel anode architecture could take this technology step forward for practical implementation to harvest carbon neutral electricity from wastewater. The performance of MFC in the removal of COD from wastewater was found to be 93.9 to 97.75% which is highly satisfactory. The removal efficiency was found to be independent of the initial COD of the substrate.
微生物燃料电池(MFC)已被证明是一种有效的废水处理技术,具有发电的额外优势。尽管在过去的十年里,所获得的功率密度增加了许多倍,但需要降低处理成本和发电成本,以使该工艺可行。在目前的研究中,已经尝试使用当地可用的、低成本和有效的材料来构建使用新型阳极结构的MFC。MFC是在单个细胞中使用多个膜制成的。阳极的特殊设计被证明在获得更高的功率密度方面是非常有效的。2002年的体积功率密度 mW/m3可以在不使用任何化学阴极电解液的情况下实现。相应的库仑效率为13.17%。当使用化学阴极电解液时,功率密度增加到5201 mW/m3,增加了2.5倍以上。MFC的相应库仑效率也增加到29.16%。这种新颖的阳极结构可以使这项技术在实际应用中向前迈进一步,从废水中获取碳中和的电力。MFC对废水COD的去除率为93.9~97.75%,令人满意。发现去除效率与底物的初始COD无关。

Changes in water quality in drinking water distribution systems are complex and often result due to chemical and microbial processes. The chemical concentration of water quality reflects the deposition and erosion of the scale. It causes insignificant deterioration of water quality. This study determines the corrosion and scaling potential of drinking water in the distribution networks of water supply in Patna city, Bihar, India. For the determination of the physicochemical parameters, 92 water samples were collected from 46 points of the distribution network. Four parameters were analysed in situ namely temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, total dissolved solids, and the remaining parameters namely alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, and iron was tested in the laboratory. Widely used equations namely Langelier saturation index (LSI), Ryznar stability index (RSI), Puckorius scaling index (PSI), Larson Skold index (LS), and Aggressive index (AI) was employed for calculations of corrosion and scaling potential of the water samples. LSI and RSI indicate 86.96% corrosive and only 13.04% scaling, PSI indicates 30.43% corrosive, LS indicates all water samples has low corrosive and AI indicates 71.74% water sample has moderate corrosive, and only 28.26% of the water sample has scaling tendency.

When the confirmed COVIDs cases were raised in Iraq in the middle of Feb. 2021, the Iraqi government performed a closure approach to constrain mobility movements, factory operations and keeping private social distance. In this research, the concentrations of air components (PM52.5, PM 10, NO 2, and O 3), which represent herein the degree of air quality index (AQI), are recorded, drawn, and evaluated over the central (Baghdad the capital), northern (Kirkuk province), southern (Basra province) of Iraq before and during the closure. The duration experiment of this research is 6 months (from 1 Jan. 2021 to 30 Jun. 2021), which included four durations: Pre-closure, first closure (total and partial), second closure (total and partial), and third closure (partial). Besides, the total-closure and partial-closure impact on the quality of the atmosphere layer is evaluated and assessed over Iraq in terms of SENTINEL – 5PSATELLITE/TROPOMI and GIOVANNE – EARTH – DATA images. The results revealed that air pollutants were dropped during the closure time except at the end of the 3rd period of closure due to the lack of people commitment by breaking the closure strategy based on economic reasons. It was observed that the lockdown is one of the best solutions to defeat the Coronavirus pandemic and significantly improve the air quality index, although it has several disadvantages effects on the economic front of the country. Eventually, since people stay at their residence home, the concentration of air pollutants becomes low and the air quality index getting better.
2021年2月中旬,当伊拉克出现确诊的新冠肺炎病例时,伊拉克政府采取了关闭措施,以限制流动、工厂运营和保持私人社交距离。在这项研究中,记录、绘制和评估了伊拉克中部(首都巴格达)、北部(基尔库克省)和南部(巴士拉省)在封城前和封城期间的空气成分浓度(PM52.5、PM10、NO2和O3),在这里代表空气质量指数(AQI)。本研究的持续时间实验为6个月(2021年1月1日至2021年6月30日),包括四个持续时间:预闭合、第一次闭合(全部和部分)、第二次闭合(完全和部分)和第三次闭合(部分)。此外,根据SENTINEL–5PSATELLITE/TROPOMI和GIOVANE–EARTH–DATA图像,对伊拉克上空的完全封闭和部分封闭对大气层质量的影响进行了评估。结果显示,除第三个封城期结束时外,封城期间空气污染物有所下降,原因是由于经济原因打破了封城策略,缺乏人们的承诺。据观察,封锁是战胜冠状病毒大流行并显著改善空气质量指数的最佳解决方案之一,尽管它对该国的经济战线有几个不利影响。最终,由于人们待在家里,空气污染物的浓度变得较低,空气质量指数也变得更好。

Diwali is an important festival of India and a lot of firecrackers bursting take place in every part of the country during festive occasions. Short term effect of firecrackers on ambient air quality was assessed by monitoring suspended particulate matter (SPM) and heavy metal analysis (Fe, Zn, Pb, Mn and Ni) during Diwali festival at an urban-industrial city Raipur, India from 3rd November to 11th November 2018. The daily average SPM concentrations were found about two times higher on 7th November (Diwali-425.64 µg/m3) and 8th November (next day of Diwali- 417.92 µg/m3) as compared to 3rd November (pre Diwali day- 247.56 µg/m3). Heavy metal analysis (Fe, Zn, Pb, Mn and Ni) was carried out using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and found the same concentration trend in the order of Fe>Zn>Pb>Mn>Ni during day and night time. Significant increment in SPM and heavy metal concentrations has been observed post-Diwali. Back trajectory analysis revealed that trajectories at surface level (50 and 1000 m a.g.l) originated from local sources, depicting local anthropogenic activities like burning of firecrackers and industrial activities as major pollution source. Wind rose diagram depicts higher SPM concentration, when the wind was northeasterly. The present study reveals that pollution levels were considerably increased during Diwali and firecrackers bursting played a major role by contributing to air pollution.
排灯节是印度的一个重要节日,在节日期间,印度各地都会燃放大量鞭炮。2018年11月3日至11月11日,在印度城市工业城市赖布尔举行的排灯节期间,通过监测悬浮颗粒物(SPM)和重金属分析(Fe、Zn、Pb、Mn和Ni),评估了鞭炮对环境空气质量的短期影响。11月7日,SPM的日均浓度高出约两倍(排灯节425.64 µg/m3)和11月8日(排灯节的第二天-417.92 µg/m3)与11月3日(排灯节前-247.56 µg/m3)。用原子吸收光谱法对重金属(Fe、Zn、Pb、Mn和Ni)进行了分析,发现在白天和晚上的浓度趋势相同,依次为Fe>Zn>Pb>Mn>Ni。排灯节后,SPM和重金属浓度显著增加。背面轨迹分析显示,地表(50和1000)的轨迹 m a.g.l)来源于当地,将当地的人为活动(如燃放鞭炮和工业活动)描述为主要污染源。风玫瑰图描绘了东北风时SPM浓度较高的情况。目前的研究表明,排灯节期间污染水平大幅上升,鞭炮爆裂是造成空气污染的主要原因。

The resistance of the intraparticle diffusion of different pollutants into CNTs is considered the main challenge in the wastewater treatment. Hence in this investigation, we discuss the kinetic parameters affecting the diffusion of different pollutants from municipal wastewater into the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) matrix. Different models (Pseudo first order, Pseudo second order, intraparticle diffusion, Avrami and mixed first and second order models) were studied to describe the adsorption characteristics of the reduction in chemical and biochemical oxygen demand of municipal wastewater in addition to the kinetic profile of some nutrients and heavy metals ions in the existence of CNTs. Finally, the mechanism of sorption of these main pollutants was proposed.

Solid Waste Management (SWM) is becoming a major environmental and public health concern in emerging municipalities in Nepal. In this study, the life cycle assessment (LCA) approach is used to address the environmental impacts of potential waste treatment scenarios in Dhulikhel Municipality in Nepal. The assessment was based on four different scenarios, viz. Scenario 1- landfilling, Scenario 2 - composting combined with landfilling, Scenario 3 - recycling, composting and landfilling, and Scenario 4 - recycling, anaerobic digestion, and landfilling. The LCA methodology was developed, including the benefits and impact potentials of different unit process in each scenario, also taking consideration of emissions from energy use. The environmental impacts from the scenarios were compared in terms of Global Warming Potential (GWP), Acidification Potential (AP), and Eutrophication Potential (EP). Among the four scenarios, scenario 4 (i.e. with anaerobic digestion) showed the most environmental advantage. Scenarios without biological treatment facilities are the least preferred option as their impact is significantly greater than other options. Therefore, organic waste is recommended not to be disposed of in landfill sites even if the transportation activity increases, because the magnitude of methane avoidance increases with an increased amount of waste diversion to the biological treatment units.
固体废物管理正在成为尼泊尔新兴城市的一个主要环境和公共卫生问题。在本研究中,生命周期评估(LCA)方法用于解决尼泊尔杜利赫勒市潜在废物处理方案的环境影响。评估是基于四个不同的方案,即方案1-堆填、方案2 -堆肥及堆填、方案3 -循环再造、堆肥及堆填,以及方案4 -循环再造、厌氧消化及堆填。制定了生命周期分析方法,包括在每种情况下不同单元过程的效益和潜在影响,同时也考虑到能源使用产生的排放。通过全球变暖潜势(GWP)、酸化潜势(AP)和富营养化潜势(EP)对不同情景的环境影响进行了比较。在4种方案中,方案4(即厌氧消化)表现出最大的环境优势。没有生物处理设施的方案是最不受欢迎的方案,因为其影响明显大于其他方案。因此,即使运输活动增加,也不建议将有机废物处置在垃圾填埋场,因为随着废物转移到生物处理单元的数量增加,避免甲烷的程度也会增加。

In this study, the life cycle assessment (LCA) approach is used to address the environmental impacts of potential waste treatment scenarios in Dhulikhel Municipality in Nepal. The assessment was based on four different scenarios, viz. Scenario 1- landfilling, Scenario 2 - composting combined with landfilling, Scenario 3 - recycling, composting and landfilling, and Scenario 4 - recycling, anaerobic digestion, and landfilling. The LCA methodology was developed, including the benefits and impact potentials of different unit process in each scenario, also taking consideration of emissions from energy use. The environmental impacts from the scenarios were compared in terms of Global Warming Potential (GWP), Acidification Potential (AP), and Eutrophication Potential (EP). Among the four scenarios, scenario 4 (i.e. with anaerobic digestion) showed the most environmental advantage. Scenarios without biological treatment facilities are the least preferred option as their impact is significantly greater than other options. Therefore, organic waste is recommended not to be disposed of in landfill sites even if the transportation activity increases, because the magnitude of methane avoidance increases with an increased amount of waste diversion to the biological treatment units.","PeriodicalId":15665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Engineering and Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48582216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
