In Italy the use of Industrial Odour Monitoring Systems (IOMS) is on the rise, but are these systems up to date?

This research project introduces a new approach by deploying a network of IOMS along with a meteorological station at the plant's fenceline. The authors detailed the experimental procedure, including the olfactometric campaigns to train and verify IOMS performance.

The results? Both IOMS boasted classification accuracies above 95%, showcasing their ability to detect, classify and quantify WTP odors. Plus, they aligned closely with dynamic olfactometry, validating their efficacy.

Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries in odor monitoring, aiming to establish alarm thresholds for odor concentrations.

PFAS are everywhere in modern society, from our cookware to our clothing. But how do these chemicals affect our environment? What can we do about it? 🌍

The authors conducted a critical analysis of the presence of PFAS in various waste streams, including plastic, metals, textiles, paper and cardboard. They explored how this presence influences waste management practices, considering both current regulations and proposed updates in the REACH regulation. 📝

What did they find? While only a small number of outliers exceeded the 25 ppb limit in each material category, the implications for waste management are significant. From nearly 1% exceedance in paper and cardboard waste to 8% in textiles and leather waste, understanding these numbers is crucial for crafting effective solutions. 💡

But this study doesn't just highlight the problem, it offers a pragmatic solution. By combining "not targeted" and "targeted" methodologies in a stepwise procedure, a method grounded in the OECD definition of PFAS has been proposed. 📊

This research delves into the environmental impacts and benefits of recycling lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) from smartphones and laptops. 📱💻 By employing Life Cycle Assessment, four scenarios have been explored to shed light on the most sustainable practices.
🔄 From hydrometallurgical recycling in Brazil to pyrohydrometallurgical recycling in Europe, the varying environmental impacts across different methods have been explored.
Notably, scenarios with expanded Reverse Logistics and internal recycling show the most promising results, significantly reducing CO2 emissions and environmental impacts. 🌍💚 These findings underscore the importance of increasing formal collection rates and adopting less impactful technology options for material recovery.

Join us in paving the way towards a more sustainable future for lithium-ion battery recycling! 🔋🌿

🍊🌿 Turning Citrus Waste into Sustainable Solutions! 🌱✨

This research showcases the transformation of wasted citrus peels into valuable biocomposite materials for eco-friendly packaging and innovative cosmetic products. 📦
By combining natural fibres and dehydrated pulp from citrus fruits with polylactic acid and other additives, bio-based packaging jars and cosmetics have been crafted.
The biocomposites, processed via injection moulding, boast impressive mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties. 🔬While these sustainable solutions may come at a slightly higher price point, they offer unbeatable benefits for premium cosmetic brands committed to environmental responsibility. 🌿💰
Let's pave the way for a greener future!

“WASTE EGGSHELLS AS CATALYSTS: AN ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY APPROACH” by Ateeq Rahman, Hilaria Hakwenye, Veikko Uahengo

🌿🔬 Embracing Green Chemistry: Transforming Waste into Catalysts for Sustainability 🌍✨
Sustainability is crucial for our survival and for the health of our planet but with heaps of waste polluting our ecosystems, it's time for a change.
This research focuses on developing heterogeneous catalysts from unconventional sources like eggshells and rice husks. 🥚🌾 These catalysts, synthesized through green methods, show immense potential for biomass conversion, environmental cleanup, and organic transformations.
These catalysts have been thoroughly characterized thanks to advanced analytical techniques like XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and BET surface area analysis. 📊🔍 From structure to thermal stability, these catalysts are paving the way for cleaner, reusable, and eco-friendly solutions.

Join us in the journey towards sustainability! 🌿💡
