Çocuk parkları, çocukların zamanlarının önemli bir kısmını geçirdiği, oyun oynadığı ve sosyalleştiği alanlar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Ancak kent merkezlerinde yer alan parkları hem kentteki kirletici kaynaklardan de yapılarında kullanılan malzemelerden salınan emisyonlardan etkilenmektedirler. Bu çalışma çocuk parklarında maruz kalınan element seviyelerinin belirlenmesi bu elementlerin oluşturduğu potansiyel sağlık risklerinin hesaplanması için gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada İzmir’in Buca ilçesindeki parklarından 28 park seçilerek yüzey tozu örnekleri toplanmıştır. Toplanan örneklerde 25 elementin enstrümantal analizleri gerçekleştirilerek konsantrasyonları belirlenmiş parkların taban kaplamasına (kauçuk, beton kum) göre değerlendirilmiştir. En yüksek kauçuk kaplamalı parklarda özellikle Zn, Ba, Cu, Pb, Co Sb elementleri belirlenmiştir. Diğer taraftan toplanan tozundaki toksik özelliklere sahip elementlere maruziyet sonucunda oluşabilecek etkileri (kanserojen olmayan riskler kanser riskleri) ABD Çevre koruma ajansının (EPA) yayınladığı model kullanılarak Buna As kanserojen risklerini temsil eden tehlike indeksi değeri sınır değere çok yakın hesaplanırken toplam ise aşmıştır.

This study analyzes the impact of energy efficiency and renewable use on carbon emissions in G7 countries. The period examined covers years 1971–2023. There are two important results. first is cointegration relationship between variables. Accordingly, there a long-run efficiency, emissions. second direction strength this relationship. When increases, decrease. result consistent with general expectations. On other hand, positive consumption not existence an issue that needs to be discussed.

The globe is transitioning from traditional methods of electricity generation to renewable resources in order achieve sustainable goals. Solar energy a promising and abundant resource that shows great potential as viable alternative energy. Furthermore, the production solar most cost-effective compared other kinds Nevertheless, execution initiatives underdeveloped nations encountering several obstacles. Identifying significant obstacles projects utmost importance. This study uses linear regression model (LRM) an analytical hierarchical process (AHP) determine main barriers implementation developing economy, i.e., Pakistan. By conducting extensive review relevant literature consulting with experts, categories were determined. A survey based on 429 responses was collected participants working at projects. Subsequently, subjected processing analysis using relative importance index (RII), AHP, modeling techniques. revealed variables hinder progress, including financial conditions, policies, technological awareness, institutional support, social environmental market stability, miscellaneous factors. AHP key factors have greatest impact, which include effective expertise, various aspects, awareness. study’s conclusions are beneficial for all stakeholders project managers enhancing management initiatives. It would also facilitate prompt decision-making regarding policy formulation implementation.

The significant allure of widely available fossil energy sources at a reasonable cost engenders formidable impediments to the transition toward renewable in Saudi Arabia, one world's foremost energy-producing nations. Mitigating escalating levels emissions and addressing substantial ecological deficits requires comprehensive investigation prospective contributions efficiency high-tech industry as integral components strategic response environmental challenges. In light this, our current study employs quarterly data spanning from 1990 2021 introduces an innovative approach known time-varying quantile regression (TVQR), which has not been previously utilized existing literature. We complement this with nonparametric causality assess impacts disaggregated efficiency, industry, social globalization on quality (proxied by load capacity factor (LF)) across different quantiles time intervals Arabia. Our TVQR analysis reveals that both oil gas have positive impact quality, evidenced their ability enhance LF indicator portion intervals. Conversely, economic growth negative quality. Additionally, selected explanatory variables exhibit predictive power over various frames quantiles. Lastly, we formulated policy framework aimed enhancing
