Refrigeration plays an important role in developing countries, primarily for the food preservation, medicinal activities, and for the air conditioning. Conventional refrigeration systems are using Freon and CFC’s as refrigerant. As this chemicals are the main cause for depletion of ozone layer, extensive work is going on alternate refrigeration projects.Thermal separation flow studied and preliminary tests suggest that with the increase in technological advancements, vortex tube refrigeration can be effectively used in place of conventional refrigeration systems. In this paper, comparative study has been done on regular air conditioner and environment friendly refrigeration system. A model is designed and constructed, in the laboratory, for the experiment on the vortex cooling system incorporating the thermoelectric module. Test parameters are the cold fraction from 0 to 1 and an inlet air pressure of 4 bars.
冷藏在发展中国家起着重要作用,主要用于食品保存、医药活动和空调。传统的制冷系统使用氟利昂和CFC作为制冷剂。由于这些化学物质是臭氧层耗损的主要原因,因此正在进行大量的工作以替代制冷工程。热分离流的研究和初步试验表明,随着技术进步的提高,涡旋管制冷可以有效地代替传统的制冷系统。本文对普通空调和环保型制冷系统进行了对比研究。在实验室中,设计并建立了包含热电模块的涡流冷却系统的实验模型。测试参数为0 ~ 1的冷分数和4 bar的进气压力。

In this paper we provide a comparison of the coverage of Canadian carbon pricing systems. We define coverage as the proportion and types of emissions priced under the various systems, by emissions source. We compare provincially announced pricing systems to the federal benchmark (the minimum coverage provinces must meet) and the federal backstop, the pricing system that will be imposed on provinces with insufficient coverage or who opt to not develop their own policies. For those provinces that have not yet introduced a carbon price we look only at coverage under the federal benchmark and the federal backstop. We find the majority of provincial pricing systems meet or exceed the federal benchmark. Our results also point to the importance of additional complementary policies to address significant sources of unpriced emissions, primarily in agriculture and fugitive sources.
在本文中,我们对加拿大碳定价体系的覆盖范围进行了比较。我们将覆盖范围定义为在各种系统下按排放源定价的排放的比例和类型。我们将各省公布的定价体系与联邦基准(各省必须达到的最低覆盖范围)和联邦支持(将对覆盖范围不足或选择不制定自己政策的省份实施的定价体系)进行比较。对于那些尚未引入碳价的省份,我们只关注联邦基准和联邦支持下的覆盖范围。我们发现,大多数省级定价系统达到或超过了联邦基准。我们的研究结果还指出了额外补充政策的重要性,以解决未定价排放的重要来源,主要是农业和逃逸源。

textabstractThe problem of plastic pollution in the oceans has been increasingly evident after 1997, when the great concentrations of plastics in the oceans were initially publicized. Still, there is a substantial lack of scientific data and research about the sources of plastic pollution, destinations and consequences to nature and human life. The only certainty is that the amount of plastic that ends up in the ocean is alarming and likely will not decrease anytime soon because of its durability and large range of use. Estimates show that, each year, at least 8 million tons of plastics leak into the ocean and, if no action is taken, this is expected to double by 2030, and quadruple by 2050. As a result, by 2050 there would be more plastic than fish in the ocean. This Article focuses on international legal pathways to face such a problem. It constitutes the basis for further research that aims at constructing a legal framework to adequately face the problem of plastic pollution of the oceans. In order to do so, the first step is to unveil the already existing international instruments—both hard and soft law. It is indispensable to accomplish this intermediate step because a great part of such pollution is in international waters, where the only legal regulations and remedies applicable are those from public international law. Solely through this state-of-the-art approach is it possible to analyze critically its possibilities and limitations, as well as to suggest how to proceed. Therefore, this Article first analyzes whether the international instruments deal with the plastic soup issue, both from the ex ante and from the ex post perspectives. After showing that the current efforts are not compatible with the current harms and threats of plastic pollution of the oceans, we suggest possible pathways and approaches to surpass the obstacles and to start facing the problem of plastic pollution of the oceans.
海洋中塑料污染的问题在1997年之后变得越来越明显,当时海洋中大量塑料被首次公布。尽管如此,关于塑料污染的来源、目的地以及对自然和人类生活的影响,科学数据和研究仍然非常缺乏。唯一可以肯定的是,最终进入海洋的塑料数量令人担忧,而且由于其耐用性和广泛的使用范围,很可能不会很快减少。据估计,每年至少有800万吨塑料泄漏到海洋中,如果不采取行动,预计到2030年这一数字将翻一番,到2050年将翻两番。因此,到2050年,海洋中的塑料将比鱼还多。本文着重探讨了面对这一问题的国际法律途径。它构成了进一步研究的基础,旨在建立一个法律框架,以充分面对海洋塑料污染问题。为了做到这一点,第一步是揭示已经存在的国际文书——包括硬法和软法。完成这一中间步骤是必不可少的,因为这种污染的很大一部分是在国际水域,在那里唯一适用的法律法规和补救办法是国际公法。只有通过这种最先进的方法,才有可能批判性地分析其可能性和局限性,并建议如何继续进行。因此,本文首先从事前和事后两个角度分析国际文书是否处理塑料汤问题。在证明目前的努力与海洋塑料污染的危害和威胁不相容之后,我们提出了可能的途径和方法,以克服障碍,开始面对海洋塑料污染的问题。

Inclusive Development in Environmental Sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa: Insights from Governance Mechanisms 撒哈拉以南非洲环境可持续性的包容性发展:来自治理机制的见解
Pub Date : 2019-02-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3328011
S. Asongu, N. Odhiambo
This research examines the relevance of inclusive development in modulating the role of governance on environmental degradation. The study focuses on forty-four countries in sub-Saharan Africa for the period 2000-2012. The Generalised Method of Moments is employed as the empirical strategy and CO2 emissions per capita is used to measure environmental pollution. Bundled and unbundled governance dynamics are employed, notably: political governance (consisting of political stability/no violence and “voice and accountability”), economic governance (encompassing government effectiveness and regulation quality), institutional governance (entailing corruption-control and the rule of law), and general governance (a composite measure of political governance, economic governance and institutional governance). The following main findings are established. First, the underlying net effect in the moderating role of inclusive development in the governance-CO2 emissions nexus is not significant in regressions pertaining to political governance and economic governance. Second, there are positive net effects from the relevance of inclusive development in modulating the effects of regulation quality, economic governance and general governance on CO2 emissions. The significant and insignificant effects are elucidated. Policy implications are discussed.
本研究探讨了包容性发展在调节治理对环境退化的作用方面的相关性。这项研究的重点是撒哈拉以南非洲44个国家2000年至2012年的情况。采用广义矩量法作为经验策略,采用人均CO2排放量衡量环境污染。采用了捆绑和非捆绑的治理动态,特别是:政治治理(包括政治稳定/无暴力和“发言权和问责制”)、经济治理(包括政府效率和监管质量)、制度治理(包括腐败控制和法治)和一般治理(政治治理、经济治理和制度治理的综合衡量标准)。主要发现如下:首先,包容性发展在治理-二氧化碳排放关系中的调节作用的潜在净效应在与政治治理和经济治理相关的回归中并不显著。其次,包容性发展在调节监管质量、经济治理和一般治理对二氧化碳排放的影响方面具有积极的净效应。对显著效应和不显著效应进行了说明。讨论了政策影响。

Regulatory Review in Anti-Regulatory Times 反监管时代的监管审查
Pub Date : 2018-12-16 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3302206
D. Farber
This Article investigates the role of cost-benefit analysis in an antiregulatory regime. The first two years of the Trump Administration have seen the first vigorous use by Congress of its power to overturn recently issued regulations and the creation of novel deregulatory mechanisms layered on top of cost-benefit analysis. There have also been dramatic examples of sharply reversed CBAs, in which regulations that were said to have large net benefits under Obama are instead said to have net costs under Trump. The Trump Administration’s regulatory review initiatives focus heavily on costs, with limited attention to benefits. Case studies of three regulations show that the economic analysis of one is seriously defective, another admits to having severe limitations, and a third seems makes a concerted effort to reduce the weight of benefits. Some of these characteristics may be analytically defensible, others seemingly are not. It is even harder to connect Congress’s recent uses of the Congressional Review Act to either a concern about net benefits or a desire to reduce the economic burdens of regulation. Thus, cost-benefit analysis seems overall a marginal part of current regulatory policy. This lack of interest in regulatory analysis seems to be a characteristic not only of the Trump Administration but of the Republican Congress.
本文探讨了成本效益分析在反管制制度中的作用。在特朗普政府执政的头两年里,国会首次积极运用其权力,推翻了最近发布的法规,并在成本效益分析的基础上建立了新的放松监管机制。还有一些戏剧性的例子,即cba急剧逆转,在奥巴马时期被认为具有巨大净收益的法规,在特朗普时期被认为具有净成本。特朗普政府的监管审查举措主要关注成本,而对收益的关注有限。对三项法规的案例研究表明,其中一项法规的经济分析存在严重缺陷,另一项法规承认存在严重的局限性,而第三项法规似乎在共同努力降低利益的权重。其中一些特征可能在分析上站得住脚,而另一些则似乎站不住脚。要把国会最近对《国会审查法案》(Congressional Review Act)的使用与对净收益的担忧或减轻监管带来的经济负担的愿望联系起来就更难了。因此,成本效益分析似乎总体上是当前监管政策的边缘部分。对监管分析缺乏兴趣似乎不仅是特朗普政府的一个特点,也是共和党控制的国会的一个特点。

Fracking and Indoor Radon: Spurious Correlation or Cause for Concern? 水力压裂与室内氡:虚假相关性还是值得关注?
Pub Date : 2018-10-19 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3269889

Abstract Unconventional gas development (fracking) is controversial in large part because of environmental and health concerns. We consider the concern that fracking leads to more carcinogenic radon gas in nearby buildings. Our empirical approach estimates treatment effects where treatment is continuous (number of wells) and varies in intensity (distance to the wells) and in duration of exposure (the time since wells were drilled). The approach allows any potential effect of fracking to vary non-linearly with the distance between the well and test site and, holding distance constant, the time between drilling and testing. Our main model gives a precisely estimated zero effect of wells on radon concentrations in nearby buildings. It also reveals that energy firms drilled wells in places with higher pre-existing radon levels, which, if ignored, makes it appear that wells within 2 km increase indoor radon but wells 3 km away do not. This explains the finding of a prior study showing a link between drilling and indoor radon.
非常规天然气开发(水力压裂)在很大程度上是由于环境和健康问题而引起争议的。我们考虑到对水力压裂会导致附近建筑物产生更多致癌氡气的担忧。我们的经验方法估计了连续处理(井数)、强度(到井的距离)和暴露时间(钻完井后的时间)变化的处理效果。该方法允许压裂的任何潜在影响随井与测试点之间的距离非线性变化,并且在保持距离不变的情况下,钻井与测试之间的时间。我们的主要模型精确地估计了井对附近建筑物氡浓度的零影响。它还揭示了能源公司在预先存在较高氡水平的地方钻探井,如果忽略这一点,就会出现2 公里内的井增加室内氡,而3 公里外的井没有增加室内氡。这就解释了之前一项研究的发现,即钻探和室内氡之间存在联系。

Optimal Carbon Policies in a Dynamic Heterogenous World 动态异质性世界中的最优碳政策
Pub Date : 2018-10-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3264548
K. Borissov, L. Bretschger
We derive the optimal contributions to global climate policy when countries differ with respect to income level and pollution intensity. Countries growth rates are determined endogenously, and abatement efficiency is improved by technical progress. We show that country heterogeneity has a crucial impact on optimal policy contributions: more developed countries have to make a larger effort while less developed countries are allowed to graduate under a less stringent environmental regime. The optimal allocation of pollution permits depends on international trade. In the absence of international permit trade, more developed countries should receive more permits than the less developed countries but permit prices are higher in the rich countries. With international permit trade, more developed countries receive less permits than the less developed. When global distribution of physical capital is uneven and the aggregate pollution ceiling is low, poor countries receive all the permits and incomes do not converge, even with free trade.
当各国在收入水平和污染强度方面存在差异时,我们得出了对全球气候政策的最优贡献。各国的增长率是内生决定的,减排效率是由技术进步提高的。我们表明,国家异质性对最优政策贡献具有关键影响:较发达国家必须作出更大的努力,而较不发达国家则可以在较不严格的环境制度下毕业。污染许可的最佳分配取决于国际贸易。在没有国际许可证贸易的情况下,较发达国家应比较不发达国家获得更多的许可证,但富裕国家的许可证价格较高。在国际许可证贸易中,较发达国家获得的许可证比较不发达国家少。当物质资本的全球分布不均衡,总污染上限较低时,贫穷国家获得所有的许可,收入不会趋同,即使有自由贸易。

Implementing Automated Power Outlet Distribution Control System Using Electronic Wastes 利用电子废弃物实现自动配电控制系统
Pub Date : 2018-09-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3331507

Electronic dumping is a global challenge and fortunately majority of these wastes could be recycled can provide an economically viable and healthy environment as well as offer new insights on how potential sources of environmental hazards could be transformed into useful products. In this paper, we present data used during the creation of an automated power outlet system from electronic wastes. Automated power control and distribution systems are important in reducing the cost of energy utilization in homes, offices, and in industrial environment. Usually, as energy utilization increases, the costs increases. The need to prioritize and conserve scarce energy becomes imminent especially in low income earning environments. Often times, the cost of acquisition of such devices may be high. This paper reflects on how components extracted from electronic wastes could be harnessed to produce computer-controlled power outlet system.
电子倾倒是一项全球性挑战,幸运的是,大多数这些废物可以回收利用,可以提供经济上可行和健康的环境,并为如何将潜在的环境危害来源转化为有用的产品提供新的见解。在本文中,我们提出了在创建电子废物自动化电源输出系统期间使用的数据。自动化电力控制和配电系统在降低家庭、办公室和工业环境中的能源利用成本方面具有重要意义。通常,随着能源利用率的增加,成本也会增加。优先考虑和保存稀缺能源的需求迫在眉睫,特别是在低收入环境中。通常情况下,购买这些设备的成本可能很高。本文就如何利用从电子废弃物中提取的部件来制造计算机控制的电源输出系统进行了思考。

In this paper, we present data used during the creation of an automated power outlet system from electronic wastes. Automated power control and distribution systems are important in reducing the cost of energy utilization in homes, offices, and in industrial environment. Usually, as energy utilization increases, the costs increases. The need to prioritize and conserve scarce energy becomes imminent especially in low income earning environments. Often times, the cost of acquisition of such devices may be high. This paper reflects on how components extracted from electronic wastes could be harnessed to produce computer-controlled power outlet system.","PeriodicalId":340493,"journal":{"name":"Pollution eJournal","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134011833","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}

Finance and Green Growth 金融与绿色增长
Pub Date : 2018-07-12 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3214528

We study how countries’ financial structure affects their transition to low-carbon growth. Using global industry-level data, we document that carbon-intensive industries reduce emissions faster in economies with deeper stock markets. The main channel underpinning this stylised fact is that stock markets facilitate green innovation in carbon-intensive sectors, resulting in lower carbon emissions per unit of output. More tentative evidence indicates that stock markets also help to reallocate investment towards more energy-efficient sectors. Cross-border spill-overs are limited: less than five percent of these industry-level reductions in domestic emissions are offset by carbon embedded in imports. A firm-level analysis of an exogenous shock to the cost of equity in Belgium confirms our findings.
我们研究各国的金融结构如何影响其向低碳增长转型。利用全球行业层面的数据,我们证明,在股市较深的经济体中,碳密集型行业的减排速度更快。支撑这一程式化事实的主要渠道是,股市促进了碳密集型行业的绿色创新,从而降低了单位产出的碳排放量。更多初步证据表明,股市也有助于将投资重新配置到能效更高的行业。跨境溢出效应是有限的:在这些工业层面的国内减排中,只有不到5%被进口中嵌入的碳所抵消。对比利时股权成本外生冲击的企业层面分析证实了我们的发现。
