PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination across the United States is an explosive concern for many water utilities, industrial companies, regulators, and concerned citizens. While these chemical compounds entered the environment for decades, the harmful consequences of these compounds are only just being realized and mitigated. The full exte...

Cities are responsible for approximately 70% of the world s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are recognized as key players in the transition to a low-carbon economy. The global net zero approach creates growth opportunities for cities to partner with a diverse set of businesses across the value chain to move from decarbonization planning to actio...

Air pollution entails the presence of harmful solid particles, liquid aerosols, or gases in high concentrations and over long periods, which negatively affect human and environmental health, causing diseases and atmospheric phenomena such as smog and acid rain. Some of these pollutants are visible, including particulate matter, smoke, and fume; how...

This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE features information on the deployment of entrained-flow and circulating fluidized bed gasification processes for the conversion of various waste feedstock into gaseous fuel. The TOE covers innovations based on automated indoor farms and agricultural robots for high-yield crop production and weed rem...

The global air quality systems market is experiencing rapid growth due to increasing concerns about air pollution and the importance of indoor air quality. Common causes of air pollution, including motor vehicles, industrial operations, household combustion appliances, and forest fires, contribute to the emission of pollutants such as particulate m...

The rapid increase in the intensity and the number of sources involved in augmenting noise pollution combined with the increase in urbanization results in more people exposed to noise pollution globally. Noise pollution will therefore have a direct impact on human health and behavior. Increasing noise pollution will also have negative economic impa...

Increasing air pollution, urbanization, and industrialization severely degrade air quality, which worsens when natural calamities such as wildfires occur. The spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19 pandemic) and rising public awareness of the dangers of air pollution significantly accelerated the demand for air purification units in residential a...

The air around us is getting more polluted due to various reasons including high urbanization, emissions from vehicles, tobacco smoking, stubble burning, and natural calamities like forest fires and sandstorms. While the awareness about outdoor air pollution is relatively high, indoor pollution is often ignored. One common misconception is that ind...

Aeration is a key biological method in the secondary stage of wastewater treatment, used in the activated sludge process by municipal facilities globally. Market growth is led by the need for refurbishment of old infrastructure, demand for new constructions and increased wastewater treatment services. The most growth is expected from the diffused a...
