To investigate the relationships between clinical findings and symptoms and the survival of patients with Yokkaichi Asthma, in relation to predisposing sulfur dioxide (SO2) exposure, we examined records of 1836 patients registered in the city of Yokkaichi during 1973-1988 by “Pollution-Related Health Damage Compensation Law.” Complete records were obtained from 735 patients (352 males and 383 f...

No information is currently available on potential environmental impact of boric acid solvent extraction from salt-lake brine although boron production important for industry, agriculture, and human well-beings. Life cycle assessment (LCA) was firstly used by this study to evaluate the using method with functional unit 1-ton acid. CO2 pollutant highest emission amount among target pollutants, w...

The maternal diet is an important determinant of glutathione-related metabolism in rats. Glutathione (GSH) may play a major role in the detoxification of sulfur dioxide (SO2) within the lungs. The effects of fetal exposure to a low protein maternal diet upon later susceptibility to pulmonary injury induced by chronic SO2 exposure were evaluated in young adult rats. Pregnant rats were fed purifi...

A substantial reduction in the environmental impacts related to construction and operation of agricultural buildings is needed adapt continuing development agriculture. The life cycle assessment (LCA) a methodology used quantify impact different processes involved production therefore has been increasingly applied assess burden. However, most LCA-related research studies have focused on overall...

Environmental impacts of 15 European pig farming systems were evaluated in the European Union Q-PorkChains project using life cycle assessment. One conventional and two non-conventional systems were evaluated from each of the five countries: Denmark, The Netherlands, Spain, France and Germany. The data needed for calculations were obtained from surveys of 5 to 10 farms from each system. The sys...

Abstract The objective of this study was to analyse the life cycle coconut oil industry and process improvement alternatives. analysis (LCA) method are based on scope gate gate. This shows that input for production consists copra as main raw material several supporting materials energy. outputs oil, pulp pellets, waste (liquid, solid, gas). total potential GHG emissions, acidification, eutrophi...

The building and construction sector has a huge impact on the environment because of enormous amounts natural resources energy consumed during life cycle projects. In this study, we evaluated potential environmental villa, from cradle to grave, in Saudi Arabian context. Centrum voor Milieukunde Leiden (CML) for Centre Environmental Science University-IA baseline v3.03 methods were used obtain p...

This study aimed to assess the environmental impact (cradle-to-farm gate LCA) of milk production cereal-based dairy farms in northern Italy and analyse which traits related farm management (MAN_F), lactating cows’ ration composition (DIET_F), animal responses (ANI_F) could be identified as main determinants address specific mitigation strategies. Data originated from 28 farms. The functional un...

agriculture (mechanization), food industry and environment are the concepts that cannot be surveyed separately (because of their interaction). present research aimed to study tomato paste production by applying life cycle assessment. two functional unit of kg co2-eq/ kg tomato and kg co2-eq / kg paste was used. data were collected from one paste factory in alborz province and open-field tomato ...

In this study, the life cycle assessment (LCA) method has been used to evaluate environmental impacts of various municipal solid waste (MSW) management system scenarios in Banepa municipality, Nepal, terms global warming potential (GWP), acidification (AP), eutrophication (EP), human toxicity (HTP), abiotic depletion (ADP), and photochemical ozone creation (POCP). There are at least six possibl...
