RMI found that, in terms of operational emissions, ebikes emit 3% of the CO2e emissions as EVs and 1% of the CO2e as ICE vehicles. Denver’s ebike incentive program saved 0.94 lb 2 per dollar spent, for a total of 2,040 MT 2 avoided emissions per year. In addition, another new s...
Despite dramatic progress in cleaning the air since 1970, poor air quality continues to harm the health of people and the environment. In 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency determined that emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are driving climate change and threatening citizens...
Nanomaterials are now being used in a wide variety of biomedical applications. Medical and health-related issues, however, have raised major concerns, in view of the potential risks of these materials against tissue, cells, and/or organs and these are st
As an example, we can cite the use and production of metals, which causes the emission of pollutants that have a negative impact on the environment, as both direct emissions (e.g., mining) and indirect emissions (e.g., electricity consumption). Additive manufacturing, thanks to the precise...
was found to reduce nanoparticle exposure by 96% for a reactor used to make nanoscale-engineered metal oxides and metals [93]. The emissions from furnaces used for the production of CNT were also efficiently captured by a fume hood [83], although the release of ENM outside the fume hood ...
[17,24,25], safety inspections and job hazard analyses [26–28], safety climate [29–31], accident and near-miss investigations [32–34], and emergency response plans [28,35] were identified as factors influencing the relative effectiveness of CSFs for safety management in the construction ...
