Urban household waste causes serious pollution of the urban ecological environment. Waste separation and processing is an effective approach to reduce the ecological environment damage caused by household waste. From the perspective of the source of urban household waste separation, this paper...

With the increasingly prominent problem of agricultural non-point source pollution, the process of Rural Revitalization Strategy has been seriously affected. Studying the relationship between rural human capital and agricultural non-point source pollution is helpful to form talent bonus, improve...

Green building materials are an important material basis for promoting the development of green buildings, and also the foundation of building energy conservation. In view of this, an insulation effect evaluation model of green building materials is constructed. The outer wall temperature index, the...

The resource environment loss has been evaluated using energy value and monetary value adopting complex ecological system analysis framework, Odum’s eco-econo mic system energy theory, and energy value analysis. The total amount of green ecological economy of Shenyang city from 2007 to 2016 was...

The evaluation of wetland ecosystem service lays the foundation to the wetland protection and exploitation. Evaluating the ecological service of all types of wetlands scientifically and reasonably is critical to improving the quality of ecological environment and securing the regional ecological...

The problem of air pollution is one of the most important problems faced by the world in the context of large urban agglomerations. Numerous activities are being undertaken all over the world to both counteract existing pollution and prevent the emergence of another one. Manufacturing is one of the...

Natural diversity of intermittently closed and open lakes and lagoons (ICOLLs) depends on mutual interactions of several factors: (i) an impact of sea water and land background; (ii) temporary meteorological situation; (iii) hydrological conditions; and (iv) the shape of lake basin. However, some...

Ashes, formed as a result of combustion of biomass are a new class of by-products of combustion and due to the large variety of these materials their chemical composition has not been fully determined. Their use is limited, despite the fact that their production has increased. This work presents the...

The Amvrakikos Bay is one of the most important ecosystems in the Mediterranean with great environmental, ecological and biological value. However, over the years, water quality has suffered severe degradation and is now one of the most polluted environmental areas in Greece. In the present study...

Biodegradation has become a popular alternative remediation technology due to its economical and ecological advantages. A strain able to degrade o-xylene effectively was selected and identified as Zoogloearesiniphila HJ1. The organism, strain HJ1, could degrade o-xylene with concentration as high as...

The promotion of renewable sources for electricity production, independent of carbon fuels and nuclear power, is a priority in the energy policy of many countries all over the world. The European Union has launched an ambitious program to increase the contribution of energy production from wind...

Hypersaline environments pose a number of ecological and metabolic challenges to the organisms that live in them. Primary producers, such as halotolerant species of the green microalgal genus Dunaliella, are no exception. In this paper we focus on the problems posed to the acquisition and metabolism...

Uncontrolled disposal of urban and industrial wastewaters into the sea led to the fact that in mid eighties the Kasštela Bay, near the city of Split, Republic of Croatia, became one of the largest and most widely known pollution “hot-spot” areas of the Mediterranean region. The pollution of the Bay...

Citizen concerns about environmental management practices will usually lead to public attention and legislative proposals. This paper intends to assess the behaviour of potential environmental polluting industries. In order to accomplish this objective, a survey composed of twenty-five questions was...

Fire agencies worldwide apply millions of gallons of fire suppression chemicals on a broad array of ecosystems. These chemicals are considered to have minimal effects on the health of people who might be exposed to them. Only incidents of skin and eye irritation have been reported as a result of...

Effective eco-environment rehabilitation is an essential policy issue in arid oasis ecosystem. Since 2007, a policy which focuses on environment restoration and protection was implemented in the Shiyang River Basin of Gansu Province, China. Using Minqin oasis as a case, the effectiveness of policy...

Many Public Aquaria have been designed and constructed all over the world during the last three decades. The serial arrangement of relatively small, rectangular, concrete tanks has been replaced by fewer large, irregularly shaped tanks, replicating habitats. The “taxonomic concept” of displaying...

Earthworm avoidance response is a new tool for rapid and efficient screening of potentially toxic substances added to soil environments. This technique was used to determine if five common, ecologically different earthworm species (Allolobophora chlorotica, Aporrectodea longa, Aporrectodea...

Poor landfill gases cannot be used to drive gas engines or be burnt in gas flares. This follows why the combustion flame front velocity for poor gases becomes very low. From this moment the non-flammable poor landfill gases are polluting the environment. An energetical utilisation of very poor...

The Plastiras dam was constructed in the late 1950s mainly for electric power production, but it has also partially covered irrigation needs and water supply of the plain of Thessaly. Later, the site has been designated as an environment conservation zone because of ecological and landscape values...
