The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted various aspects of life, including environmental conditions. Surface water quality (WQ) is one area affected by lockdowns imposed to control the virus's spread. Numerous recent studies have revealed considerable impact on surface WQ. In response, this research aimed assess in Ireland using an advanced WQ model. To achieve goal, six years monitoring data from 2017 2022 were collected for nine indicators Cork Harbour, Ireland, before, during, and after lockdowns. These include pH, temperature (TEMP), salinity (SAL), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), dissolved (DOX), transparency (TRAN), three nutrient enrichment indicators-dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), molybdate reactive phosphorus (MRP), total oxidized (TON). results showed that lockdown had a significant indicators, particularly TEMP, TON, BOD5. Over study period, most within permissible limit except MRP, with exception during COVID-19. During pandemic, TON DIN decreased, while improved. contrast, COVID-19, at 7% sites deteriorated. Overall, Harbour was categorized as "good," "fair," "marginal" classes over period. Compared temporal variation, improved 17% period Harbour. However, no trend observed. Furthermore, analyzed model's performance assessing indicate model could be effective tool evaluating lockdowns' quality. can provide valuable information decision-making planning protect aquatic ecosystems.

The generation of waste materials is an inevitable byproduct various human and ecological activities. Inadequate management can have detrimental effects on the environment, leading to long-lasting harm both living organisms broader ecosystem. A waste-to-sustainable energy concept based TENGs a new research technology added other green renewable technologies. It highly efficient in using wide range convert chaotic environmental energies into electricity for intelligent applications. In this review, are classified non-degradable (plastic waste), bio-degradable waste, combined waste. These types showed great capability converting low frequency wasted mechanical electrical pulses applications healthcare, IoT wireless technologies smart buildings. worth noting that utilizing plastic as tribo-pairs doe does not compromise performance efficiency fabricated TENGs. For instance, non-modified X-ray film has been used positive tribo-layer force sensing application. TENG with maximum power density 8.78 W/m2 (Navaneeth et al., 2023a,b) which comparable prepared tribo-materials. We propose promising sustainable alternative upcycling materials.

This article aims to analyze the relationship between Lean and Industry 4.0, further exploring opportunities for integration with new concept of 5.0. Departing from a literature review, it shows how 4.0 is—while unanimously positive—clearly orientated towards more technological aspects. In this scenario, most studies on highlight side organizations, emphasizing technology augment methodologies tools. As such, apparent value derives use technology, relatively limited inputs input are found issues related human social factors organizations—such as leadership, people, integration, training roles tasks. face reality, we evaluate potential 5.0, arguing may offer proper perspective support sustainability, resilience, orientation in Industrial contexts.

Abstract Recently, carbon neutrality has been promoted as a potentially practical solution to global CO 2 emissions and increasing energy‐consumption challenges. Many attempts have made remove from the environment address climate change rising sea levels owing anthropogenic emissions. Herein, membrane technology is proposed suitable for neutrality. This review aims comprehensively evaluate currently available scientific research on membranes capture, focusing innovative microporous material used separation considering their material, chemical, physical characteristics permeability factors. Membranes such materials comprise metal‐organic frameworks, zeolites, silica, porous organic polymers. The critical obstacles related design, growth, capture usage processes are summarized establish novel strategies accelerate scaleup.

Given that it was a once-in-a-century emergency event, the confinement measures related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused diverse disruptions and changes in life work patterns. These significantly affected water consumption both during after pandemic, with direct indirect consequences on biodiversity. However, there has been lack of holistic evaluation these responses. Here, we propose novel framework study impacts this unique global event by embedding an environmentally extended supply-constrained multi-regional input-output model (MRIO) into drivers-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) framework. This allowed us develop scenarios COVID-19 quantify country-sector-specific freshwater associated biodiversity for period 2020-2025.

Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic has led to significant societal disruptions, prompting the Indonesian government implement various measures, including partial lockdowns or Community Activities Restrictions Enforcement (CARE), curb virus's spread. This research aims assess impact of environmental parameters on Cirebon's estuaries, focusing physical components (such as temperature, total solids [TS], and turbidity), chemical (including pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), dissolved (DO), nitrate, phosphate), microbiology (specifically coliforms). These comprehensive have notably impacted during pre‐, during, post‐COVID‐19 based Water Quality Index (WQI) assessment in estuaries. In port city Cirebon, located Java Island's northern coast, water quality three river estuaries Kesenden, Sukalila, Kalijaga was analyzed before after CARE implementation. samples collected 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 were evaluated against Class II standards per Government Regulation No. 22 2021. WQI determined using National Sanitation Foundation (NSF‐WQI) technique revealing fluctuations trends across stations over 2019–2023. at recorded 52.21, 56.40, 53.36, respectively. By began COVID 19, there a noticeable decreasing WQI, Sukalila sustained “Moderate” classification with 54.59, whereas Kesenden witnessed declines values 49.5 49.7, However, peak‐implementation program 2022 saw drastic decline quality, dropping below threshold all observed stations, 23.97 23.10 35.36 Kalijaga.
