Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) has been developed to design lightweight structures and enhance existing designs. As the environmental footprint of construction industry must be significantly reduced, potential lower impacts using UHPFRC needs explored. While greenhouse gas emissions a volume are higher than that same concrete, enables reduction in amount...

As mariculture production increases in both northern and southern Europe its conflict with other users of the marine environment, for space and other environmental services, becomes ever greater. Implications of these increases and conflicts require that careful environmental management of aquaculture practices be considered, which rely heavily on the process of monitoring. Monitoring studies f...

BACKGROUND Prospective health impact assessment is a new approach to predicting potential health impacts of policies, programmes or projects. It has been widely recognized that public policies have important impacts on health. In 1997, the Liverpool Public Health Observatory was commissioned to carry out a health impact assessment of the Merseyside Integrated Transport Strategy (MerITS). A seco...

Product environmental impact reduction efforts largely focus on incremental changes during detailed design. Application of automated concept generation using a design repository and integral life cycle assessment approach is explored to evaluate and reduce environmental impacts in the conceptual phase of product design.

A comparative assessment of the post-closure environmental issues for the geological disposal of carbon dioxide (CO2) and radioactive waste is made in this chapter. Several criteria are used: the characteristics of radioactive waste and CO2; their potential environmental impacts; an assessment of the hazards arising from radioactive waste and CO2; and monitoring of their environmental impacts. ...

Recently in Thailand, the recycling process of waste printed circuit board (WPCB) has retained a large volume of nonmetallic fraction (NMF), which has entered the industrial waste stream and awaits an appropriate treatment to be suggested. The aim of this paper was to assess environmental impacts of the recycled nonmetallic fraction from waste printed circuit board in Thailand, using the ReCiPe...
