Plastic can take up to 1,000 years to break down, so it builds up in the environment, damaging soil, poisoning groundwater, and choking marine wildlife. Microplastics enter the human body with the potential to cause serious health impacts – and have even been found in...
Food must be made to high standards. The lives of customers are at risk if quality is neglected. In food production, the most important things are the food’s nutritional value, its sensory qualities, and how safe it is for consumption. Testing and sampling are usually done frequently to ca...
The release of certain gases into the Earth’s atmosphere can create a “greenhouse effect”, in which heat becomes trapped and global temperatures rise. While emissions can result from natural causes, they are primarily the result of human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels for ...
The ECM is responsible for managing the air-fuel mixture to achieve the best fuel efficiency. When it fails, it may cause the engine to run rich (excess fuel) or lean (insufficient fuel). This imbalance can lead to decreased miles per gallon (MPG) and increased fuel consumption. ...
Oil has other ways of making it into your DPF as well, such as leaks and internal oil consumption. Any liquid, such as fuel, oil or coolant, that makes it into a cylinder and eventually into the exhaust stream will foul the DPF and lead to premature plugging, and perhaps permanent damag...
A sustainable environment can be attained by controlling the use of energy [3] and fossil fuels [4]. Similar results can also be expected by molding behavior towards organic food consumption [5], green products purchase behavior [6], and post-purchase behavior of recycling [7]. Extant ...
Therefore, ISO 14001 seems to be more attractive because of its lower implementation costs; however, EMAS can contribute to an improvement in the relationships between organisations and authorities [29,32]. Another important finding was that governments might influence organisations’ choices in ...
