Over the past few decades, scientists around the world have revealed the sinister impacts that persistent organic pollutants (POPs) could inflect on man and his environment. Growing interest in monitoring and managing POPs was building up at a worldwide level and Egypt was no exception. Egypt has ratified the Stockholm Convention for controlling the emission of POPs and had its National Impleme...

The primary aim of this investigation is to understand the impact of government regulations on innovation in the development of automotive emission control systems. Analysis of regulatory measures and a longitudinal study of patenting indicate that governmental actions in the form of “technology-forcing” standards have stimulated innovations. INTRODUCTION Innovation processes for automotive emi...

The methods proposed to meet the 1975 Standards of the Clean Air Act for mobile sources are alternative antiknocks, exhaust emission control devices, and alternative engine designs. Technology surveillance analysis applied to this situation is an attempt to anticipate potential public and environmental health problems from these methods, before they happen. Components of this analysis are exhau...

Incineration is currently being used for disposal of about 10% of the solid waste generated in the United States, and this percentage will likely increase as land disposal declines. Siting new incinerators, however, is often controversial because of concerns related to the possibility of adverse health effects and environmental contamination from long-term exposure to stack emissions. Specific ...

Liquid animal manure and its management contributes to environmental problems such as, global warming, acidification, and eutrophication. To address these environmental issues and their related costs manure processing technologies were developed. The objective here was to assess the environmental consequences of a new manure processing technology that separates manure into a solid and liquid fr...

The paper looks at the global environment as a public good and as a sink for CO2emissions. It discusses problems to be solved in institutional arrangements to protect global environmental media and looks at criteria for allocating the costs of emission reduction and emission rights. It analyzes institutional mechanisms that stabilize CO2-agreements and reviews the Kyoto Protocol, the perspectiv...

Abstract. Environmental problems are becoming more and more important for our world and their importance will even increase in the future. High pollution of air, water and soil may cause damage to plants, animals and humans. Therefore, the development of industry must be coupled with the protection of the environment. In this connection we shall consider the problems of optimal location of indu...

There are many factors that influence the day-ahead market bidding strategies of a generation company (GenCo) within the framework of the current energy market. Environmental policy issues are giving rise to emission limitation that are becoming more and more important for fossil-fueled power plants, and these must be considered in their management. This work investigates the influence of the e...

emission trading is one of the famous mechanisms under kyoto protocol to control environmental pollution. the aim of this paper is to design a strategic supply chain network under emission trading scheme with inclusion of stochastic parameters and budget limitation. demand and price of carbon credits are considered as the important stochastic parameters influencing the supply chain network. in ...

Considering the environmental damage caused by mercury, evaluating mercury concentrations in four environmental media, namely the atmosphere, water, soil, and sediment, is necessary. Available data on mercury emissions and computational modeling were used for this evaluation. Evaluating the sensitivity of the model for the water-sediment partition coefficient was another objective of this study...
