The printers emit the chemical compound when its temperature rises during normal operations. And it primarily influenced the chemical concentrations such as formaldehyde and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) in a living space. The measurements on the various types of prints from different manufacturers such as laser jet type, inkjet type were performed in emission test chambers of 1m3 and 5m3 w...

Olive oil production is associated with extremely polluting byproducts causing serious environmental problems in most Mediterranean countries. These highly polluting residues are currently disposed of in the soil, rivers or lakes or where treatment methods have been applied, they were proven insufficient or nonfeasible under the Greek situation. On the other hand strict EU environmental legisla...

This paper explores the effect of exclusionary ”ethical investing” on corporate behavior in a risk averse, equilibrium setting. While arguments exist that ethical investing can inßuence a Þrm’s cost of capital, and so affect investment, no equilibrium model has been presented to do so. We show that exclusionary ethical investing leads to ”polluting” Þrms being held by fewer investors since ”gre...

Electric Vehicles (EVs) will be a key component of sustainable e-transportation systems. It is important to provide charging infrastructure for EVs. EVs are “zero” polluting and highly efficient, but these qualities valid only if the EV supplied from renewable energy sources (RES). In urban areas, there lot unused space such as roofs residential enterprise buildings, parking lots, building faca...

Due to increasing pollution and the overexploitation of traditional energy, there is both an environmental a resource threat sustainable development. China’s government prioritizes optimization structures with photovoltaic industrial support policies address potential hazards traditionally highly polluting energy resources. However, applying green resources not panacea for solving existing as p...

We estimate a negative binomial model with fixed effects to examine the impact of spatial differences in environmental regulation on manufacturing capital flows. Using a newly available data set, we find that stricter air quality standards with respect to ozone deter births of polluting plants, suggesting heterogeneity in regulatory standards may create a spatial browning process. We also find ...

We examine public policies and technological solutions that aim to decarbonize electricity production by replacing fossil fuel energy by intermittent renewable sources, namely wind and solar power. We consider a model of investment and production with two sources of energy: one is clean but intermittent (wind or solar), whereas the other one is reliable but polluting (thermal power). Intermitte...

The conventional oil recovery system in the Fushun oil shale retorting plant has a low oil recovery rate. A large quantity of fresh water is used in the system, thereby consuming a considerable amount of water and energy, as well as polluting the environment. This study aims to develop a closed process of shale oil recovery from the circulating washing water for the Fushun oil shale retorting p...
