A Sustainability Framework for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) Technologies
Abstract Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) involves the conversion of biomass to energy, producing CO2 which is sequestered, transported and then permanently stored in a suitable geological formation. Thus, a negative flow of CO2...

Environmental management of confectionery products: Life cycle impacts and improvement strategies
Abstract This paper presents the first environmental life cycle analysis for a range of different confectionery products. A proposed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) was developed to characterise and...

Sediment accretion and carbon storage in constructed wetlands receiving water treated with metal-based coagulants
Abstract In many regions of the world, subsidence of organic rich soils threatens levee stability and freshwater supply, and continued oxidative loss of organic matter contributes to greenhouse gas production. To counter subsidence in the...

Exposure to chemical cocktails before or after conception – The effect of timing on ovarian development
Abstract Exposure of female fetuses to environmental chemicals (ECs) during pregnancy results in a disturbed ovarian adult phenotype. We investigated the influence of pre- and/or post-conception exposure to low-level mixtures of ECs on the structure ...

Calibration and field evaluation of the Chemcatcher® passive sampler for monitoring metaldehyde in surface water
Abstract Metaldehyde is a potent molluscicide. It is the active ingredient in most slug pellets used for crop protection. This polar compound is considered an emerging pollutant. Due to its environmental mobility, metaldehyde is frequently detected...

Initial environmental impacts of the Obed Mountain coal mine process water spill into the Athabasca River (Alberta, Canada)
Abstract On October 31, 2013, a catastrophic release of approximately 670,000m3 of coal process water occurred as the result of the failure of the wall of a post-processing settling pond at the Obed Mountain Mine near Hinton, Alberta. A highly...

Evaluation of a sequencing batch reactor sewage treatment rig for investigating the fate of radioactively labelled pharmaceuticals: Case study of propranolol
Abstract Pharmaceuticals are frequently detected in the aquatic environment, and have potentially damaging effects. Effluents from sewage treatment plants (STPs) are major sources of these substances. The use of sequencing batch reactor (SBR) STPs,...

Potential release scenarios for carbon nanotubes used in composites
Abstract The expected widespread use of carbon nanotube (CNT)-composites in consumer products calls for an assessment of the possible release and exposure to workers, consumers and the environment. Release of CNTs may occur at all steps in the life...
