Climate change and its negative impacts on health are now globally recognized. A wide variety of diseases and health conditions - ranging from heat and radiation-related illnesses to water and vector-borne diseases, under-nutrition, respiratory and cardiac problems, drowning, injuries and mental stress arising from extreme and sudden weather events and their resultant population displacements -...

The direct release of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is important because it contributes to the global greenhouse gases (GHGs) release and strongly effects the WWTP carbon footprint. Biological nitrogen removal technologies could increase the direct emission of N2O (IPCC, 2006), while CH4 losses are of environmental, economic and safety concern. Cu...

Climate change may impact agricultural greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and yields under higher temperatures, atmospheric CO2 concentrations, variable precipitations. This calls for adaptation strategies to optimize productions with minimal GHGs. study aimed identify these optimum managements in response current projected climatic scenarios the Choctawhatchee Basin Southeastern USA, an experimen...

Canada is one of the most emission-intensive economies in world and big challenge for its provinces how to mitigate GHGs while keeping same pace economic growth. This paper’s main objective examine relationship between greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions clean growth using cross-sectional data Canadian from 1995 2019. Based on results dependence, slope heterogeneity, Hausman test, study applied poo...

The impact of future anthropogenic forcing on the frequency of tropical storms in the North Atlantic basin has been the subject of intensive investigation. However, whether the number of North Atlantic tropical storms will increase or decrease in a warmer climate is still heavily debated and a consensus has yet to be reached. To shed light on this issue, the authors use a recently developed sta...

Thinning is one of the intensive forest management techniques commonly applied to increase the merchantable timber volume. However, how thinning affects soil–atmospheric fluxes of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is poorly understood. A field experiment with four treatments (CK: unthinned; MB: medium intensity thinning from below; HB: high intensity thinning from below; and HI: high intensity thinning b...

Agriculture is one of the largest anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs), with dairy and beef production accounting for nearly two-thirds of emissions. Several recent papers suggest that dung beetles may affect fluxes of GHGs from cattle farming. Here, we put these previous findings into context. Using Finland as an example, we assessed GHG emissions at three scales: the dung pat, pas...

The small-scale industries (SSIs) have a direct relevance for national and local socioeconomic development. However, SSIs that use fossil fuels also contribute not only local pollution, but also greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions that are associated with the global problem of climate change. Select cleaner technologies can help not only in reducing local pollution and GHG emissions, but also provi...

The pace of activity around climate change legislation picked up noticeably in 2007. The increased focus brought new legislative proposals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). These bills include cap-and-trade systems, and carbon taxes1 as well as energy bills that promote energy efficiency or renewables (Table 1). Many also include support for research and development for emission reduci...

The management of rapidly growing municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the major challenges in developing countries. The current study also estimates the suitability of a site through a geographical information system using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for landfill sites in National Capital Territory (NCT). The results of the suitability index indicate that only 58.7 km2 of the land...
