Waste management is an evolutionary system, but few studies have explored how and why public willingness to participate in waste separation changes, or explored possible paths to increase residents’ willingness to participate. This paper took Shanghai as a case study of a city that has experienced recent environmental policy change to embrace an evolutionary feedback perspective. The results showed that after the policy implementation, resident’s satisfaction with waste management increased by only 5.3%, and participation willingness actually decreased by 5.4%. A Geodetector model showed that both separation attitude and knowledge are highly important both before and after policy implementation. Residents’ satisfaction with community waste management showed the largest increase soon after the policy implementation while the importance of time occupied by waste separation dropped significantly. Policy simulation by a system dynamics model showed that the community-driven scenario was able to achieve 95% participation 2 years earlier than baseline scenario. Improving community satisfaction by improving waste management infrastructure can offset the adverse effects of an increased number of waste categories. The study helps to quantify the interaction between institutional change and public participation and find effective measures to maintain public participation in environmentally-friendly behaviors.

垃圾管理是一个进化的系统,但很少有研究探讨公众参与垃圾分类的意愿如何以及为什么会发生变化,也很少有研究探索提高居民参与意愿的可能途径。本文以上海为例,分析了近年来环境政策变化对城市发展的影响。结果表明,政策实施后,居民对垃圾管理的满意度仅提高了5.3%,参与意愿实际下降了5.4%。地理探测器模型表明,在政策实施前后,分离态度和分离知识都非常重要。在政策实施后不久,居民对社区垃圾管理的满意度上升幅度最大,而垃圾分类占用时间的重要性明显下降。通过系统动力学模型进行的政策模拟表明,社区驱动情景比基线情景提前2年实现95%的参与率。通过改善废物管理基础设施来提高社区满意度,可以抵消废物类别增加所带来的不利影响。该研究有助于量化制度变迁与公众参与之间的相互作用,并找到保持公众参与环境友好行为的有效措施。

Determining the influence of food user value on the intention to waste tomatoes at home 确定食物使用者价值对在家浪费西红柿意愿的影响

To date, there is no evidence on how food user value influences the intention to waste food at home. We experimentally tested the influence of the freshness of tomatoes and them being grown in/on one’s garden/balcony on the intention to waste tomatoes at home (n = 454). We uncovered a significantly lower intention to waste them if they were described as still fresh (versus no longer fresh) and a lower intention to waste them if they were homegrown (versus bought). It did not make a difference whether fresh tomatoes were store-bought or homegrown. However, once the tomatoes were no longer fresh, the purchased tomatoes were much more likely to be thrown away than the homegrown tomatoes.

到目前为止,还没有证据表明食物使用者的价值如何影响在家浪费食物的意愿。我们通过实验测试了西红柿的新鲜度和它们在花园里/阳台上生长对在家里浪费西红柿的意图的影响(n = 454)。我们发现,如果它们被描述为仍然新鲜(相对于不再新鲜),浪费它们的意愿要低得多,如果它们是自制的(相对于购买的),浪费它们的意愿要低得多。新鲜西红柿是从商店买的还是自己种的并没有什么区别。然而,一旦西红柿不再新鲜,购买的西红柿比自己种植的西红柿更有可能被扔掉。

NO2 is one of the main pollutants in the atmospheric environment, which can directly or indirectly cause harm to human health. Jiangsu province is economically developed and densely populated, and the conflict between economic development and ecological environment protection is more prominent, which causes its mean annual NO2 concentration to be higher than other neighboring provinces. The study takes the formation mechanism of NO2 concentration distribution heterogeneity at different spatial scales as the research object. By using OMI satellite remote sensing data and NO2 concentration ground monitoring data in Jiangsu Province from 2015 to 2020, the paper studies NO2 concentration distribution heterogeneity at macroscopic and microscopic scales, respectively, to analyze the formation mechanism. The results show that: (1) The spatial distribution characteristics of NO2 concentration obtained based on the analysis of two data sources have good consistency, with the overall performance of high NO2 concentration in the south of Jiangsu where the concentration of NO2 column reached 16.3 × 1015 molec/cm 2 and the monitoring concentration reached 46.3μg/m3, while the concentration of NO2 in central Jiangsu is relatively low, with average concentrations of 6 × 1015 molec/cm 2 and 26μg/m3. (2) Under the macroscopic spatial scale, the average NO2 column concentration in the south of Jiangsu is 9 × 1015 molec/cm 2 higher and the monitoring concentration is 15μg/m3 than that in the north of Jiangsu; natural factors such as temperature are the important influencing factors for the heterogeneity of NO2 concentration distribution under this scale. (3) At the microscopic spatial scale, NO2 concentration is 5–10% higher in industrial concentrations in southern Jiangsu, some heating cities in northern Jiangsu, and industrial parks in northern Jiangsu. In addition, NO2 concentration decreases gradually with distance from this area; anthropogenic factors such as population density, GDP, and car ownership are important factors to influence the heterogeneity of NO2 concentration distribution at this scale. Based on the above findings, the paper proposes to adjust the industrial structure, limit the number of high energy-consuming and high-emission enterprises, and develop seasonal emission reduction measures.

NO2是大气环境中的主要污染物之一,可直接或间接对人体健康造成危害。江苏省经济发达,人口密集,经济发展与生态环境保护的矛盾较为突出,导致其年均NO2浓度高于周边省份。本研究以不同空间尺度下NO2浓度分布异质性的形成机制为研究对象。利用2015 - 2020年江苏省OMI卫星遥感数据和NO2浓度地面监测数据,分别在宏观和微观尺度上研究NO2浓度分布不均一性,分析其形成机制。结果表明:(1)两数据源分析得出的NO2浓度空间分布特征具有较好的一致性,苏南地区NO2浓度总体较高,柱状NO2浓度达到16.3 × 1015分子/cm 2,监测浓度达到46.3μg/m3,苏中地区NO2浓度相对较低,平均浓度为6 × 1015分子/cm 2, 26μg/m3。(2)宏观空间尺度下,苏南地区NO2柱平均浓度比苏北地区高9 × 1015分子/cm 2,监测浓度为15μg/m3;温度等自然因素是影响该尺度下NO2浓度分布不均一性的重要因素。(3)微观空间尺度上,苏南工业集中区、苏北部分供热城市和苏北工业园区NO2浓度高5 ~ 10%;NO2浓度随距离增大而逐渐降低;人口密度、GDP、汽车保有量等人为因素是影响该尺度下NO2浓度分布异质性的重要因素。基于以上发现,本文提出调整产业结构,限制高耗能、高排放企业数量,制定季节性减排措施。

China’s population–income structure has undergone significant changes. However, the impact of population expansion and changes in consumption patterns of specific income groups on regional water withdrawal has not been quantitatively assessed. Here we incorporate multiregional input–output (MRIO) tables with national survey data to capture the water footprint (WF) in the consumption of each income group in China by considering each group’s consumption patterns and population changes. The results show that the middle and rich classes contributed 83% (2012) and 89% (2015) of embodied water withdrawal, respectively. Among the driving factors leading to changes in water withdrawal, changes in consumption patterns and the population–income structure led to increases of approximately 15.4 billion m3 and 12.4 billion m3 , respectively. Households on the East Coast (EC), and South Coast (SC), as well as in Central China (CC), and Southwest (SW) were the key contributors to the increase. Our findings highlight essential water conservation policies to consider to meet the needs of transforming society.

中国的人口收入结构发生了重大变化。但是,人口扩大和特定收入群体消费模式的变化对区域取水的影响尚未得到定量评价。本文将多区域投入产出(MRIO)表与国家调查数据相结合,通过考虑中国各收入群体的消费模式和人口变化,捕捉中国各收入群体消费中的水足迹(WF)。结果表明,中产阶级和富裕阶层分别贡献了83%(2012年)和89%(2015年)的隐含取水量。在导致取水量变化的驱动因素中,消费模式和人口收入结构的变化分别导致了约154亿立方米和124亿立方米的增加。东海岸(EC)和南海岸(SC)以及华中(CC)和西南(SW)的家庭是增加的主要贡献者。我们的研究结果强调了需要考虑的基本节水政策,以满足转型社会的需求。

Europe has increased its production, processing, and export of vegetables in recent decades due to changing dietary patterns supporting a greater consumption of vegetables high in nutrition. The growing interest in environmental issues has led to advocacy for sustainable vegetable production and consumption. Thus, this study assessed the ecological impacts of producing 1 kg of frozen spinach (functional unit) by a food processor in central Italy (cradle-to-factory gate approach). We evaluated the global warming potential (GWP) for distributing the final to different destinations. We also compare the potential environmental credits for different spinach residue management strategies, residue reduction through improved process efficiency, and as a feedstock for biogas production (avoided maize silage) based on the total volatile solids content. The life cycle assessment was used following the CML_IA impact assessment method based mainly on primary data related to 2019/2020. The GWP was 1.55 kg CO2eq. with respect to the functional unit. Excluding the dominant cultivation phase, packaging, particularly corrugated board boxes, electricity, and wastewater treatment were significant contributors across the midpoint impact categories assessed. The GWP for distributing the packaged frozen to Australia was 24 times more impactful than regional inland distribution. When spinach residue is reduced to 20% and 10%, total impacts for all impact categories also decrease by 12% and 22%, respectively. The benefit of using the current amount of spinach residue to produce biomethane was less than 7% across all impact categories except terrestrial ecotoxicity (13%). Therefore, reducing spinach waste along the processing line and efficient end-of-packaging life management through recycling and reuse by the manufacturer can considerably reduce the environmental impacts of frozen spinach.

近几十年来,欧洲增加了蔬菜的生产、加工和出口,因为饮食模式的改变支持了高营养蔬菜的更多消费。对环境问题日益增长的兴趣导致倡导可持续蔬菜生产和消费。因此,本研究评估了意大利中部一家食品加工商生产1公斤冷冻菠菜(功能单位)的生态影响(从摇篮到工厂大门的方法)。我们评估了全球变暖潜势(GWP)的最终分配到不同的目的地。我们还比较了不同菠菜残渣管理策略的潜在环境信用,通过提高工艺效率减少残渣,并根据总挥发性固体含量作为沼气生产的原料(避免玉米青贮)。生命周期评价采用CML_IA影响评价方法,主要基于2019/2020年相关的原始数据。GWP为1.55 kg co2当量。关于功能单位。排除主要的种植阶段,包装,特别是瓦楞纸箱,电力和废水处理是评估中点影响类别的重要贡献者。将包装好的冷冻食品配送到澳大利亚的全球变暖潜能值是内陆地区配送的24倍。当菠菜残渣减少到20%和10%时,所有影响类别的总影响也分别减少了12%和22%。除陆地生态毒性(13%)外,在所有影响类别中,利用目前数量的菠菜渣生产生物甲烷的效益低于7%。因此,通过制造商的回收和再利用,减少加工过程中的菠菜浪费和有效的包装终寿命管理,可以大大减少冷冻菠菜对环境的影响。

Environmental impact of grass-based cattle farms: A life cycle assessment of nature-based diversification scenarios 草牧场的环境影响:基于自然的多样化情景的生命周期评估

Diversification is widely considered to positively influence the environmental sustainability of livestock farming. Multiple options exist to diversify cattle farms, but few have been examined at a systems level for grass-based livestock farms. Three nature-based diversification options recommended for livestock farms were examined in this study: mixed grass–white clover swards (GWC), organic farming (OFS) and agroforestry (AGF). They were applied on dairy and suckler calf-to-beef farming systems common in the Republic of Ireland. Both of these bovine systems were evaluated over a 3-year period (2017–2019) and were nationally representative. The environmental impact and resource use of dairy and suckler calf-to-beef systems were modelled using life cycle assessment (LCA). The system boundary of the LCA model extended from the extraction of raw materials to the sale of milk and cattle from the farm, i.e. cradle to farm-gate. Six of the major environmental impacts of cattle farming were simulated; global warming potential (GWP), non-renewable energy (NRE) depletion, land occupation (LO), acidification potential (ACP), freshwater and marine eutrophication potential (FEP and MEP). Impacts were scaled to the following functional units: land area, fat and protein corrected milk (FPCM) for dairy and carcass weight (CW) for beef. The result illustrated that GWC swards reduced the GWP of milk production by 9% and cut the GWP of beef LW by 3%. Per unit of product, this strategy decreased ACP by 4%–5%, NRE depletion by 13%–19% and LO by 6%–7%. However, it increased MEP by 5%–12% due to clover fixing more N than it replaced. Cattle farms based on GWC were more productive than conventional farms, but tended to increase impacts per hectare. Organic farming had the lowest environmental impacts per unit of land and reduced GWP and NRE depletion. Without carbon sequestration, organic farming had the opposite effect on GWP of FPCM and increased ACP and MEP per product unit. Declines in productivity in organic systems led to the rise in these impacts per unit of product and increases in LO relative to conventional systems. Partial conversion (10%–20%) of grassland to silvopasture decreased milk and beef output, and slightly improved environmental performance. Carbon sequestration was greater in silvopasture than in grassland, albeit LCA models struggle to accurately quantify the influence of management change on this process.

多样化被广泛认为会对畜牧业的环境可持续性产生积极影响。有多种选择可以使养牛场多样化,但很少有人在系统层面上对草地畜牧场进行研究。本研究考察了推荐给畜牧场的三种基于自然的多样化选择:混合草-白三叶草草地(GWC)、有机农业(OFS)和农林业(AGF)。它们被应用于爱尔兰共和国常见的奶牛和乳牛养殖系统。这两种牛系统都经过了3年的评估(2017-2019),具有全国代表性。使用生命周期评估(LCA)对乳制品和乳牛与牛肉系统的环境影响和资源利用进行了建模。LCA模型的系统边界从原材料的提取延伸到农场的牛奶和牛的销售,即从摇篮到农场大门。模拟了养牛业对环境的六个主要影响;全球变暖潜能值(GWP)、不可再生能源(NRE)消耗、土地占用(LO)、酸化潜能值(ACP)、淡水和海洋富营养化潜能值(FEP和MEP)。影响按以下功能单位划分:土地面积、乳制品的脂肪和蛋白质校正乳(FPCM)和牛肉的胴体重量(CW)。结果表明,GWC切屑使牛奶产量的GWP降低了9%,使牛肉LW的GWP减少了3%。每单位产品,该策略将ACP降低4%-5%,NRE消耗降低13%-19%,LO降低6%-7%。然而,由于三叶草固定的氮比取代的氮多,它使MEP增加了5%-12%。基于GWC的养牛场比传统农场生产力更高,但往往会增加每公顷的影响。有机农业对每单位土地的环境影响最低,并减少了全球变暖潜能值和自然资源消耗。在没有碳固存的情况下,有机农业对FPCM的GWP产生了相反的影响,并增加了每产品单位的ACP和MEP。相对于传统系统,有机系统生产力的下降导致单位产品的这些影响增加,LO增加。将草原部分改为silvopaste(10%-20%)降低了牛奶和牛肉产量,环境绩效略有改善。尽管生命周期评价模型难以准确量化管理变化对这一过程的影响,但森林牧场的碳固存量大于草原。可以通过对固存进行更多的实地和建模研究来克服这一问题。还需要进一步研究将多样化选项结合起来,以优化养牛业的环境可持续性。

Multiple options exist to diversify cattle farms, but few have been examined at a systems level for grass-based livestock farms. Three nature-based diversification options recommended for livestock farms were examined in this study: mixed grass–white clover swards (GWC), organic farming (OFS) and agroforestry (AGF). They were applied on dairy and suckler calf-to-beef farming systems common in the Republic of Ireland. Both of these bovine systems were evaluated over a 3-year period (2017–2019) and were nationally representative. The environmental impact and resource use of dairy and suckler calf-to-beef systems were modelled using life cycle assessment (LCA). The system boundary of the LCA model extended from the extraction of raw materials to the sale of milk and cattle from the farm, i.e. cradle to farm-gate. Six of the major environmental impacts of cattle farming were simulated; global warming potential (GWP), non-renewable energy (NRE) depletion, land occupation (LO), acidification potential (ACP), freshwater and marine eutrophication potential (FEP and MEP). Impacts were scaled to the following functional units: land area, fat and protein corrected milk (FPCM) for dairy and carcass weight (CW) for beef. The result illustrated that GWC swards reduced the GWP of milk production by 9% and cut the GWP of beef LW by 3%. Per unit of product, this strategy decreased ACP by 4%–5%, NRE depletion by 13%–19% and LO by 6%–7%. However, it increased MEP by 5%–12% due to clover fixing more N than it replaced. Cattle farms based on GWC were more productive than conventional farms, but tended to increase impacts per hectare. Organic farming had the lowest environmental impacts per unit of land and reduced GWP and NRE depletion. Without carbon sequestration, organic farming had the opposite effect on GWP of FPCM and increased ACP and MEP per product unit. Declines in productivity in organic systems led to the rise in these impacts per unit of product and increases in LO relative to conventional systems. Partial conversion (10%–20%) of grassland to silvopasture decreased milk and beef output, and slightly improved environmental performance. Carbon sequestration was greater in silvopasture than in grassland, albeit LCA models struggle to accurately quantify the influence of management change on this process. This issue can be overcome through more field and modelling research on sequestration. Further research is also required on combining diversification options to optimise the environmental sustainability of cattle farming.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34479,"journal":{"name":"Resources Environment and Sustainability","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49837316","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}

An energy-efficient disintegration approach used to produce biohydrogen from marine macroalgae biomass (Chaetomorpha antennina) was demonstrated in this study. The suggested research aimed to explain the function of macroalgae disintegration by sonication (DS) and disintegration by a sonic surfactant (DSS) in biohydrogen production. Biosurfactant dosage (3 μL/g TS), sonic intensity (50%) and disintegration duration (30 min) were found to be an optimum conditions for DSS with respect to dissoluted organics release (DOR). Volatile fatty acids (VFA) generation was higher in DSS (1845 mg/L) than DS (864 mg/L) When DS and DSS were compared, DSS had a substantially higher disintegration efficiency (DE) and biohydrogen yield (26%, 147 mL H2/gCOD) than DS (21.5%, 121 mL H2/gCOD). Net energy (NE) obtained in DSS (0.044 kWh/kg of biomass) was more than the DS (−0.02 kWh/kg of biomass). DSS had a higher energy ratio of 1.8, while DS had a lower energy ratio of 0.7. Overall, DSS was found to be an energetic way to produce biohydrogen.

本研究展示了一种利用大型海藻生物质(Chaetomorpha antennina)高效分解生产生物氢的方法。本研究旨在解释大型藻类的超声分解(DS)和超声表面活性剂(DSS)在生物制氢中的作用。生物表面活性剂用量(3 μL/g TS)、声波强度(50%)和崩解时间(30 min)是DSS溶出有机物(DOR)的最佳条件。DSS的挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)生成量(1845 mg/L)高于DS (864 mg/L)。比较DSS和DSS的降解效率(26%,147 mL H2/gCOD)和生物氢产率(21.5%,121 mL H2/gCOD), DSS的降解效率(26%,147 mL H2/gCOD)显著高于DS (21.5%, 121 mL H2/gCOD)。DSS获得的净能量(0.044 kWh/kg生物质)大于DS (- 0.02 kWh/kg生物质)。DSS的能量比较高,为1.8,而DS的能量比较低,为0.7。总的来说,DSS被认为是一种高效的生产生物氢的方法。
