The absence of domestic wastewater (DWW) treatment in impoverished rural communities of the global south remains a pressing challenge for both public health and environmental sustainability. This study presents a simplified and decentralized treatmen...

Diesel-powered machinery is the primary energy source in underground mining, exposing workers to hazardous diesel exhaust emissions. This study evaluates occupational exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) and gaseous pollutants (NO, NO₂) at an...

Plastic recycling is critical to transitioning toward a circular economy (CE), yet traceability systems for recycled plastics remain unevenly adopted. While effective traceability supports transparency, compliance, and supply chain accountability, it...

Chlorobenzoic acids (CBAs) are a group of chlorinated persistent environmental pollutants with hard biodegradability, high water solubility, and well-documented carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting properties. Electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (E...

Global shipping is an essential, energy-efficient enabler of trade, yet it remains a hard-to-abate sector. With shipping demand projected to continue to rise in the coming decades, identifying scalable and sustainable fuel alternatives is critical. B...

In recent years, industrial symbiosis (IS) has gained attention as a strategy to enhance circularity and to reduce the environmental impacts of solid waste management through resource reuse and recovery. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly us...

CO₂ emissions from various anthropogenic activities have led to serious global concerns (climate change and global warming), and, therefore, CO₂ capture by sustainable methods is a priority research topic. One of the most widely used and cost-effecti...

The reaction between polyols and diisocyanates forms polyurethane (PU) adhesives. However, these materials are derived from petroleum-based chemicals, whose availability is declining. As an environmentally friendly, renewable, and formaldehyde-free a...

The rapid expansion of global aquaculture has led to wastewater enriched with nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, antibiotics, and heavy metals, posing serious risks such as eutrophication, ecological imbalance, and public health threats. Conventio...

Energy transition is crucial for climate change mitigation and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and has been a key government focus in Colombia since 2022, which must carefully consider its energy roadmap. This study evaluates three potential sc...
