Objetivo: Discutir acerca da pobreza menstrual no processo saúde-doença das mulheres.
Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada através da Biblioteca
Virtual em Saúde, com o auxílio das bases de dados LILACS, SciELO, BDENF e MEDLINE.
Dessa forma, foram utilizados os DeCS “Mulheres”, “Menstruação”, “Vulnerabilidade Social”
e “Processo Saúde-Doença”, bem como seus respectivos MeSH "Women”, “Menstruation”,
“Social Vulnerability” e “Health-Disease Process", unidos pelo booleano AND. Foram
incluídos artigos disponíveis na íntegra, de forma online, publicados nos últimos dez anos e
excluídos artigos duplicados, debates, resenhas, editoriais, resumos ou artigos publicados em
anais de eventos, indisponíveis na íntegra e que não contemplavam o tema ou objetivo proposto.
Resultados: Foram encontrados 65 estudos, na qual 7 foram elegíveis. Os estudos mostram que
a pobreza menstrual representa um importante problema de saúde pública, além de causar
desconfortos, insegurança e estresse, contribuindo assim para aumentar a falta de bem-estar. Na
ausência de produtos adequados de higiene menstrual, é amplamente reportado por diversas
pesquisas que meninas e mulheres improvisam formas para gerenciar o sangramento menstrual
com pedaços de pano, roupas velhas, jornal e até miolo de pão, onde tal situação pode ocasionar
situações problemáticas, como alergia e irritação da pele e mucosas, infecções urogenitais como
a cistite e a candidíase, e até mesmo condições que podem levar à morte. Considerações Finais:
A pobreza menstrual é um desafio vivenciado por um significativo número de pessoas e
impactos significativos no processo saúde-doença das mulheres. Destarte, trata-se de uma
problemática que pode ser amenizada, onde necessita-se ainda de mais estudos e intervenções,

Published: November 2022

Objetivo: Analisar a cobertura dos aparelhos de mamografia no estado do Amapá apartir
da construção de um indicador de cobertura mamográfica. Método: Trata-se de um
estudo ecológico, por meio de dados secundários coletados do Cadastro Nacional de
Estabelecimentos de Saúde (CNES) do Ministério da Saúde. As variáveis de inclusão
foram, o número e o tipo de mamógrafo em uso e número de mulheres alvo do
rastreamento, as unidades de interesse espacial foram os municípios do estado, com
limitação temporal entre janeiro a dezembro de 2020, com interesse matemático o último
mês do ano. A partir dos dados definiu-se um calculo matemático para construir o
indicador de cobertura mamográfica (ICM). A análise dos dados foi realizada partir do
programa TABWIN e Microssoft Office Excel. Resultados: Houve variação do número
de mamógrafos ao longo do ano. Em dezembro de 2020, dois municípios do estado
possuíam aparelhos de mamografia, sendo Macapá com 11 (91,7%) e Pedra Branca do
Amapari com 1 (8,3%), totalizando 12 mamógrafos, independente do tipo, em todo o
estado. O indicador de cobertutura mamográfica foi maior no município de Pedra Branco
do Amapari, cerca de 7,41 aparelhos para cada 10.000 mulheres residentes na faixa etária
de 40 a 69 anos. Macapá, teve um indicador de 1,66 aparelhos para cada 10.000 mulheres
residentes, enquanto que o estado obteve um indicador de 1,15 para cada 10.000 mulheres
Amapaenses. Conclusão: Apesar do indicador evidenciar cobertura razoável em dados,
as questões geográficas caracaterísticas do Norte do Brasil apontam uma realidade
inversa, considerando os raios de distâncias percorridas pelas mulheres interioranas do
estado para o acesso ao exame, com sobrecarga de demanda no munícipios com
equipamentos.

Published: November 2022

O conceito de pandemia, de acordo com a Organização Mundial da Saúde, se aplica a
dispersão de uma doença que inicialmente se concentrava em um lugar e, após a sua
propagação dada por meio do contato entre os indivíduos, passa a tomar proporções que
ultrapassam fronteiras. No Brasil, a pandemia da Covid 19 foi marcada de forma
lamentável pelas vidas que foram levadas, também experimentou a conjuntura social e
econômica que fora acentuada não apenas pelo caos que a saúde enfrentava, mas também
pela confusão das responsabilidades entre os entes federativos. O Sistema Único de Saúde
se deparou com inúmeras conjunções, em especial a Emenda Constitucional (EC) 95 que
delimitou o teto de gastos por um período de 20 anos e obriga o sistema a lidar, mediante
a um baixo financiamento, com questões além daquelas pertinentes à pandemia, que
necessitam de uma atenção hospitalar maior. Objetivo: Descrever as demandas para a
gestão dos hospitais públicos brasileiros no contexto da pandemia da Covid-19 e
registrados na literatura brasileira no período de 2020-2021. Metodologia: Foi utilizada
a pesquisa bibliográfica, caracterizada como uma revisão narrativa que usufruiu das
bases de dados: Google Acadêmico, Repositório UFSC, Scielo e Lilacs, onde foram
localizadas 12 publicações que respondiam ao objetivo do estudo. Resultados: As
principais demandas para os hospitais foram: a ampliação da quantidade de profissionais
de saúde, o treinamento dos trabalhadores e a abertura e expansão do número de leitos.
Considerações finais: Entende-se que as demandas aqui apontadas são concernentes,
principalmente, a fase inicial da pandemia, devido ao ineditismo do cenário e urgência
das decisões, certas atitudes que a princípio foram tomadas pelas demandas emergentes
da pandemia, só serão avaliadas e sentidas como desafios em análises futuras.

O acompanhamento dos pacientes portadores de Hipertensão Arterial é realizado pelo enfermeiro e pela equipe de saúde nos diferentes níveis de atendimento da rede de Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), sendo privativo ao enfermeiro a consulta de enfermagem. Na gestão e/ou na execução das práticas assistenciais, educativas e preventivas, no nível da atenção básica, o trabalho do enfermeiro é estratégico e indispensável, sendo assegurada sua inserção nas equipes e nos territórios por meio dos marcos programáticos e legais do SUS. Objetivo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo proporcionar uma melhor compreensão acerca da atuação do profissional enfermeiro na Atenção Primária em Saúde, com o enfoque no controle da hipertensão arterial. Metodologia: Este estudo, é do tipo Revisão Integrativa da Literatura, que é um método que tem como finalidade sintetizar resultados obtidos em pesquisas sobre um tema ou questão, de maneira sistemática, ordenada e abrangente. É denominada integrativa porque fornece informações mais amplas sobre um assunto/problema, constituindo, assim, um corpo de conhecimento. Considerações Finais: A partir do exposto no trabalho, percebe-se que a intervenção realizada pelo enfermeiro, na Atenção Primária em Saúde, repercute de forma significativa na vida dos usuários, tendo em vista que o enfermeiro é visto como um educador em saúde, trabalhando a arte do cuidado de forma preventiva e visto sob alta expectativa de seus pacientes. E no contexto da prevenção, controle e acompanhamento de pacientes hipertensos não é diferente, o enfermeiro atua na linha de frente da atenção básica.

Objetivos: Analisar como ocorre o rastreamento do câncer do colo do útero na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS); Descrever os desafios e dificuldades para o rastreio do Câncer do Colo uterino na APS. Metodologia: Constitui-se em uma revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa. O levantamento bibliográfico foi realizado entre os meses de Junho e Julho de 2022. O estudo se deu nas bases de dados indexadas: Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). Foram encontrados 37 artigos na Lilacs e 9 na Scielo. Após a leitura breve dos artigos, foram selecionados para compor esse estudo um total de 7 artigos, sendo 3 de natureza qualitativa, 3 transversal e descritivo e 1 relato de experiência. Resultados: Após a seleção dos artigos, foram distribuídos em um quadro de dados contendo as seguintes informações: título, autor, ano e objetivo. Estudos evidenciaram que em muitas Unidades de Saúde da Família (USF), a coleta do material citopatológico, é realizada exclusivamente pelo enfermeiro, com frequência de uma vez por semana. Além disso, existem muitas dificuldades na realização das ações de prevenção, que estão atreladas a resistência de algumas mulheres, bem como a falta de materiais básicos para a realização da assistência. Considerações Finais: Tornou-se perceptível que o papel do enfermeiro dentro da Atenção Primária à Saúde é imprescindível, visto que o mesmo é responsável por realizar a consulta de enfermagem, bem como está capacitado para realizar a coleta do Papanicolau, interpretar o exame, fornecer as orientações necessárias, e se necessário encaminhar para um profissional de referência.

Effects of a smartphone application on maternal health knowledge and dietary diversity among pregnant women in India: a randomized single center pilot study
Authors: Dieteren Charlotte , Sarkar Subhanwita , Saharan Sumiti , Bonfrer Igna
Published: November 2022

Background

India contributes to one-fifth of infant and maternal deaths globally. Healthy lifestyles during pregnancy combined with good quality health care can help to avoid many maternal and neonatal deaths. Access to appropriate information is important for developing or maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The increased coverage of smartphones across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has given rise to smartphone apps supporting healthy pregnancies. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of the smartphone application Together For Her on maternal health knowledge and dietary diversity among pregnant Indian women.

Methods

We ran a randomised single-centre pilot study in a private hospital in Maharashtra, India. We randomly selected pregnant women at ≤20 weeks of gestation who were invited to download the application, in addition to regular antenatal care. The control group only received regular antenatal care. Knowledge about a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy, self-reported dietary diversity and individual characteristics were collected via telephone interviews at baseline (T0), midline (T0 + 4 weeks) and endline (T0 + 12 weeks).

Results

Complete data were collected for 179 respondents (intervention:94; control:85). Respondents in the intervention group showed larger increases in their knowledge over the 12-week study period, with an overall knowledge increase of 13.4 percentage points (P<0.001). The largest effects were found in the modules anaemia, breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact. Self-reported diversity in nutritional intake also improved significantly more in the intervention group than in the control group.

Conclusions

Smartphone applications can effectively supplement antenatal care by increasing women’s knowledge about a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy, which is likely to reduce the risk of adverse maternal health outcomes. Future research includes the roll-out of a larger multi-centre RCT to assess the effect of the smartphone application on health outcomes.
Hazardous waste management and investors perception of firm value
Authors: BALOGUN ANDREW OLANIYI  , GOSPEL CHUKWU
Published: November 2022

This study examines the impact of hazardous waste management on firm value of oil & gas companies in Nigeria. Secondary data used for this study were collected from the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period 2010 – 2019. Data collected for the study were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The result of the regression analysis indicates negative association between hazardous waste management and firm value of sampled firms. The result concludes that there is a financial reward in engaging in disclosure practices in the long – run. The result also shows that shareholders value firm high if they disclose related environmental issues. Based on the findings, the study recommends that oil and gas companies should adopt and practice environmental policies to show their commitment to the achievement of environmental sustainability. The disclosure of environmental issues affects how market participants (investors) evaluate the firm’s ability to generate profit in future.

FENTON REAGENT IN COMBINATION WITH UV LIGHT AND ULTRASOUND WAVES APPLIED FOR CAFFEINE OXIDATION
Authors: Villota Natalia , Lomas Jose , Lombraña Jose , Ferreiro Cristian
Published: November 2022

The oxidation of aqueous caffeine solutions ([Ca]0=100.0 mg L-1) was analyzed, operating at pH=3.0 and 25ºC using different AOPs, which combine the Fenton reagent ([H2O2]0=15.0 mM and [Fe2+]0=20.0 mg L-1) with low power UV light (15W,), medium (150W), and high (720 W). The Fenton reagent, combined with 150W UV light, was the most energetic treatment, proving that at 20 min it completely degrades caffeine and 80% of the water aromaticity. This hard oxidative process is accompanied by a high oxygen consumption, up to concentrations of [DO]=0.9 mg L-1 at the time when the caffeine contained in the water is completely degraded. On the other hand, 150W UV light is the only treatment capable of decreasing the concentration of total solids dissolved in water, according to a ratio of 0.0035 min-1. US waves allow degrading caffeine by 35%. This treatment leads to the emission of high oxygen concentrations ([DO]=20.0 mg L-1), which subsequently decreases along time. The UV lamp of 15W allows degrading caffeine by 12%, but does not affect the rest of the parameters analyzed.
US/H2O2 combined technology applied to the paracetamol oxidation
Authors: Jose Lomas , Villota Natalia
Published: November 2022

This study analyzes the colour acquired by oxidizing paracetamol aqueous samples through the combined US/H2O2 technology. When operating with only the action of the waves [US]=1.0 kWh/mmol C8H9NO2, the water acquires progressively hue according to a ratio of 0.0004 AU/min, with a degradation output of 14%. Working under these conditions, the presence of hydroquinone, muconic acid and formic acid is evaluated. Colour formation presents a maximum intensity when water containing paracetamol is degraded using molar ratios of 1.5 mol H2O2/mol C8H9NO2. This dosage leads to the formation of benzoquinone, as well as muconic and formic acids, reaching an efficiency of 30%. Oxidazing with 6.0 mol H2O2/mol C8H9NO2, colour formation occurs slowly during the first hour of reaction, leading to the formation of benzoquinone, hydroquinone, acetamide, phoroglucinol and formic and muconic acids. This last one presents a molecular structure that is prone to reacting with other species that are present in the system forming complexes.

Dark fermentation of textile wastes is discussed in the paper. In the experiment were used cotton wastes. Before fermentation the cotton was hydrolyzed using 0.1 M of HCl. The inoculum was pretreated using heat shocked for 0.5 h at temperature of 105°C. The fermentation was carried out under conditions: load 5 g/l, pH in the range 5 by 0.1 M of HCl, and oxygen in small quantities was added. The oxygen flow rates (OFR) was 0.008 ml/h.. The fermentation was carried out at temperature of 40 °C for one day. In reactors with pretreated inoculum (pH 5) biogas was detected and its content (hydrogen carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen) were determined. Methane was not produced during experiment. The volume of hydrogen for process performed at temperature 40°C 0.168 dm3 of at biogas content 43%.
Elevated CO2 in air changes photosynthetic response of Hordeum vulgare and Bromus secalinus to cadmium pollution in soil
Authors: Januskaitiene Irena , Diksaityte Austra
Published: November 2022

The integrated effects of increased atmospheric CO2 and heavy metals pollution may have important implications for plant growth. Elevated atmospheric CO2 can affect plant defences through its significant effects on plant growth. Some studies have found that elevated CO2 can decrease oxidative stress and lead to increased rates of growth and development. Among the numerous heavy metals contaminants, cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic and prevalent pollutants of surface soils. Cd is a toxic heavy metal that can be readily taken up by plants, and contamination of soils with Cd is a widespread problem that affects plant growth, defence, development, and metabolite production.
The aim of this study was to investigate the response of photosynthetic system and growth of summer barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and rye brome (Bromus secalinus L.) to different cadmium concentrations effect under elevated CO2 in atmosphere.
To study the combined effect of cadmium (300 mgCd/kg and 500 mgCd/kg substrate) and elevated atmospheric concentration of CO2 (400, 700 and 1400 ppm CO2) on photosynthetic parameters and growth of barley and brome, the pot experiments were conducted in closed controlled environment plant growth chambers. The growth and response of photosynthetic system were evaluated.
The results showed that barley was more sensitive to Cd impact under all investigated CO2 concentrations. The strongest negative effect of Cd on photosynthetic performance was detected under current (400 ppm) CO2 concentration for both plants. Increasing CO2 concentration increased photosynthetic rate and decreased the negative effect of Cd. The effect of Cd on stomatal conductance under elevated CO2 also varied: for barley it increased, while for brome it decreased and the result of that was decreased water use efficiency for barley and increased – for brome. Photosynthetic pigments of barley also were more sensitive to Cd effect, but the losses were lower under elevated CO2. Statistically significant effect of Cd on biomass was detected only for barley and elevated CO2 it reduced but only at 700 ppm. This study highlights that the photosynthetic response of investigated plants under cadmium stress at elevated CO2 concentrations changes and the response is species dependent.
Biosynthesis of Xanthan Gum from Fermenting Potato Peels Extract: Influence of Sucrose Supplementation on Yield and Apparent Viscosity
Authors: Abud Ana Karla , Silva Augusto
Published: November 2022

Several residues and carbohydrate-rich effluents have been studied as a possible alternative in the substitution or implementation of the traditional cultivation medium of xanthan gum, helping in the management of these residues and, consequently, reducing fermentation costs. This work studied the extract obtained from potato peels for xanthan gum production by fermentation with or not sucrose supplementation. Xanthan gum yield ranged between 2-4 g L-1, and a linear relationship between the amount of added sucrose and gum produced was observed. In addition, the peak of gum production with higher viscosity was able to be anticipated with the sucrose supplementation, from 72 to 24 h (with the 5% of sucrose in comparison with the control condition). The maximum viscosity was 950 mPa.s, a result higher than many published papers that use residues as culture medium for xanthan production.
Changes of dissolved oxygen during the caffeine oxidation by photo-Fenton
Authors: Lomas J , Irene Coralli , Villota Natalia
Published: November 2022

The aim of this work is to analyse the changes of dissolved oxygen ([DO], mg/L) during the oxidation of caffeine waters by photo-Fenton treatment. The concentration of dosed hydrogen peroxide would be the addition of the stoichiometric [H2O2], which reacts with organic matter ([H2O2]esteq=2.0 mM), plus the concentration in excess of [H2O2]exc that decomposes, generating O2 through radical processes, according to a ratio R=0.8164 mmol H2O2/mg O2). Operating at doses lower than the stoichiometric value [H2O2]0<2.0 mM, O2 is not emitted, as there is no excessive oxidant. Besides, it is verified that the Fe2+ ion is oxidized to Fe3+, with subsequent regeneration to Fe2+. Applying higher doses than the stoichiometric [[H2O2]0>2.0 mM, oxygen is released, and regeneration of Fe3+ to Fe2+does not occur. The highest oxygen generation output is obtained when dosing [Fe]0=10.0 mg/L, conducting at pH=3.0 and 25ºC. The evolution of DO formation is adjusted to zero-order kinetics, the kinetic constant of oxygen generation being kf=29.48 [Fe]0-1.25 (mg O2 L-1 min -1) and oxygen consumption kd=-0.006 [Fe]02.0 + 0.244 [Fe]0-3.7 (mg O2 L-1 min-1).

There is growing interest in using serious games for a wide range of applications, from water resources management, to surgery simulations, to pilot training. At the same time, there is rapidly growing interest in the water-energy-food/land-climate nexus, where interactions in one sector can lead to impacts in other sectors, some of which may be hard to predict due to complexity and feedback. However, common practice still revolves around sectoral silos, with relatively little interaction or consideration of wider impacts. Serious games could help erode some of these silos, fostering efforts towards holistic policy making that accounts for systemic impacts of policy decisions in a safe space, where potential impacts (unforeseen or otherwise) can be explored and assessed without real consequences. One current major point of criticism of some serious games is their lack of policy relevance.
SIM4NEXUS (www.sim4nexus.eu) is an ongoing H2020 research project that will develop policy-relevant serious games for 12 case studies in scale from sub-national to global. This is being achieved by close case study stakeholder involvement at every step in the process, from qualitative system design and conceptualisation, policy analysis and selection, quantitative model development and serious game testing and playing. SIM4NEXUS covers five nexus sectors (water, energy, land, food and climate) and develops quantitative, scientifically-robust system dynamics models to quantify and explore the nexus relationships for each of the 12 cases. In this way, models can explore the impacts of changes in one sector (e.g. due to policy actions) both within that sector and on all other related nexus sectors. The SIM4NEXUS serious games ‘play’ the underlying models, but in a way accessible to others not familiar or involved with the model development process. Through intelligent game design and the link to the quantitative models, nexus-wide policy and climate impacts can be clearly and effectively communicated to stakeholders and policy makers in each case study while also being fun to play, offering opportunity for nexus exploration in an educational setting. This work details the entire process in SIM4NEXUS, going from system conceptualisation, through quantitative model development and ending up at the serious game, emphasising the constant stakeholder collaboration to ensure that the research and outputs remain relevant and accessible.

Pollution of freshwater from industrial, domestic and agriculture sources is one of the major factors responsible for the decline of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations in Europe. Biomarkers responses (bioaccumulation, glucose content, cytogenetic and behavioral endpoints) elicited by the most common metal contaminants at Maximum-Permissible-Concentrations (MPC: Zn – 0.1, Cu – 0.01, Ni – 0.01, Cr – 0.01, Pb – 0.005 and Cd – 0.005 mg/L) accepted for the inland waters in EU was assessed in fish after 4 h, 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 or 28 days of exposure. Experimental studies were performed using whole mixture approach and by reducing environmentally realistic concentration of single metal in the mixture by 10-times (represents background exposure in the aquatic environment). Bioaccumulation of metals was assessed in gills, liver, kidneys and muscle tissues. In the most of the investigated tissues, steady-state metals concentrations were reached within 14 days. All metals have attained steady-state in muscle. Metal mixture at MPC and 10-fold reduction of single metal in the mixtures significantly affected cytogenetic, behavioral endpoints, blood glucose content and bioaccumulation of several metals in analysed tissues of fish. Therefore, discharges of metals at MPC into the aquatic environment can lead to health problems of juvenile S. salar.
Improvement of calculations of the total Characterization factor in the USEtox model including a regional approach
Authors: Belyanovskaya Alexandra
Published: November 2022

The USEtox model as one of LCIA models is an instrument to characterize the human toxicity impact. The model measures the intake of metals by population with meat products. The USEtox is the only model including geographical separation and wide database with organic and nonorganic chemicals. However, the USEtox does not provide any regional information, as ecological or geological specifications of areas included into the model. There is also a lack of data about metals concentrations in the database.
Current investigation proposes an approach to reduce these limitations using results of bioindication studying– chemical composition of pork meat samples. Results of bioindication express assessing and forecasting changes in biotas under the anthropogenic influence locally in 3 settlements of “Central Asia” district.
We extrapolate them into the USEtox model database, to extend it with concentrations of heavy metals Cr, Zn and As in the meat of pork. Characterization factor is proposed to assess their potential toxicity in soil and air in the region “Central Asia”.

Published: November 2022

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most favorable polymer used as packaging material (e.g., drinking water bottle). PET items continue to be marketed for four decades but their uncorrect disposal represents an underestimated environmental problem. Moreover, in the environment PET can be degraded by diverse environmental factors, resulting in the formation of PET microplastics (PET-µPs). Microplastics, plastic particles < 5 mm, represent a major concern in the marine ecosystems because they are the predominant form of plastic debris and are small enough to be ingested by and potentially threathen marine organisms. Several monitoring studies have demonstrated the presence of PET-µPs in marine sediments and their ingestion in diverse marine species worldwide. However, there is a dearth of information on PET-µPs potential ecotoxicity. This study aimed at exploring the ingestion and potential effects on oxidative status (i.e., pro-oxidant production, modulation of antioxidant enzyme activity and oxidative damage) caused by a 7-days exposure to two concentrations (0.125 and 12.5 µg/mL) of PET-µPs in the clam Ruditapes philippinarum. Although PET-µPs were efficiently ingested and egested by clams, null or negligible effects on oxidative status were found, suggesting a low risk towards our model species, at least at the tested concentrations and for short-term exposure periods.

Published: November 2022

As a big agricultural country，China has a relatively high pesticide usage in unit area , which is three times higher than developed countries. About 80% of pesticides directly enter the soil and the water through leaching or surface runoff during the usage of pesticides. In particular, some of the polar compounds are easier to migrate than other compounds, causing pollution of surface water and groundwater. The groundwater samples in Hebei Province, a major agriculture province in China, were screened by multi-residue liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for two consecutive years in 2014 and 2015. The results showed that among 44 polar compounds, 27 pesticides were detected in 2014 and 19 in 2015. Atrazine-desethyl-desisopropyl, 2,4-D and fomesafen were 434.3 ng/L, 711.5 ng/L and 508.2 ng/L respectively, which were significantly higher than those in other provinces in China. Atrazine and its metabolites were detected in both years. Except for Atrazine-desethyl-desisopropyl, other components were detected in high concentration in 2014. The detected concentrations of bentazone, hexaconazole, triadimenol, and triazolone were similar in the two years. Pesticides such as methomyl, isopropyl, diniconazole and imazethapyr were detected in 2014, but not in 2015, which is presumably related to the actual use of pesticides.

Published: November 2022

Synthesis of TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites (TZN) through one-step refluxing method for photochemical degradation of humic acid (HA) in aqueous solution has been studied. Titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) and ZnSO4.7H2O were used as a starting material under base solution at 120 oC for 24 hours. TZN materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The characterization showed that there is a specific diffraction peak from TiO2 (2θ = 25.30) and ZnO (2θ = 36.33) as a composite with the crystal size 41.55 and 15.76 nm, respectively. The material morphology showed the granular shape of the composite and have a good thermal stability. The photochemical activity was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of HA under UV254 light. The optimum condition was found at pH 4.0, and times at 30 minutes. This study confirmed that the TZN material can decrease the HA concentration. Furthermore, the maximum result of the experiment was a 95-98% degradation of HA in aqueous solution.
The role of Life Cycle Assessment to measure progress on the Circular Economy
Authors: Corona Blanca , Shen Li
Published: November 2022

The circular economy (CE), as opposed to the current linear economy, is seen as a sustainable economic system where the economic growth is decoupled from the resources use, through the reduction and recirculation of natural resources. In the shift towards the CE, quantifying the circularity of products and services (or their contribution to the CE) is crucial in designing policies and business strategies, and prioritizing sustainable solutions based on evidence. This study explores the role of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in assessing the circularity of products and services. A review was made on current LCA case studies assessing progress in the CE, attending to the following aspects: the goal of the studies, the modelling and allocation approaches, the assessment methods used, and their alignment with the CE goals. The results indicate that LCA is one of the most used and comprehensive tools to assess CE. However, the multifunctional and multidimensional nature of the CE strategies impose methodological challenges that are still not solved.

Authors: Corona Blanca , Moretti Christian , Rühlin Viola
Published: November 2022

To mitigate climate change and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, more efficient energy production is necessary. Combined heat and power systems (CHPs) are a key technology to reach such an objective, due to its higher energy efficiency than the separate production of heat and electricity. These environmental benefits can be enhanced by using a versatile energy source, such as biomass. The H2020 Hieff-BioPower project is developing an innovative medium-scale biomass CHP technology based on biomass gasification combined with solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). This technology shall reach a high gross electric and overall energy efficiencies (40% and 90% respectively) and is expected to achieve equal-zero gaseous and PM emissions. This study analyses the expected environmental performance of producing heat and electricity with such a technology, using environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The analysis investigates the cradle-to-gate impacts considering different biomass feedstocks and including the manufacturing of the main power plant components (gasifier, gas cleaning unit, SOFC). The preliminary results indicate environmental improvements when compared with state of the art technologies such as internal combustion engines and organic Rankine cycle CHPs.

Organophosphate compounds are a group of chemicals that are commonly used in pest control. One widely used organophosphate is chlorpyrifos (CPF), which has been associated with acetylcholinesterase inhibition (AChE), an acute neurotoxin. Further, under thermal decomposition conditions, such as those that occur in bushfires, CPF has been shown to produce a dioxin-like compound 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-[1,4]-dioxinodipyridine (TCDDpy). To assist in understanding the reaction of CPF, an experimental methodology was developed which enabled the study of its thermal decomposition. CPF was pyrolysed in a three-zone furnace, leading to the formation of its major degradation product, 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP). The study revealed that ethylene gas and a solid sulfur/phosphorous compound were also generated with the TCP product. TCP undergoes further thermal decomposition to form several chlorinated products. Experiments undertaken under oxidative conditions revealed that TCP (at temperatures above 900 K and at a residence time of 9 s) also produced HCl and cis and trans forms of TCDDpy. The results of this study compare favourably with our previous theoretical work.
