Article Synopsis
- * New membrane materials designed for xylene separation show promise for lower energy consumption, although they haven't been used commercially yet.
- * A techno-economic analysis reveals that a hybrid membrane process combining pervaporation and organic solvent reverse osmosis could provide significant cost savings compared to traditional methods like the Parex process.
Deconstruction is an innovative and sustainable option for building end-of-life. It can turn the negative impacts of demolition, including diverting valuable resources from the congested landfill into beneficial use through reuse and recycling. However, the feasibility of deconstruction has placed a massive limitation on the implementation of deconstruction.

Moreover, there is little knowledge on potential synergistic effects of different combinations of air pollutants.
Objectives: To assess independent and joint effects of prenatal exposure to air pollutants during the week prior to the delivery on the risk of PTB.
Background: There is some evidence that prenatal exposure to low-level air pollution increases the risk of preterm birth (PTB), but little is known about synergistic effects of different pollutants.
Objectives: We assessed the independent and joint effects of prenatal exposure to air pollution during the entire duration of pregnancy.
Methods: The study population consisted of the 2568 members of the Espoo Cohort Study, born between 1984 and 1990, and living in the City of Espoo, Finland.
Background: Our objective was to assess whether dietary vitamin D (vitD) intake and sunlight exposure during pregnancy is associated with birth outcomes in a healthy Ghanaian population.
Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study that included 703 mother-infant pairs accessing postnatal services at the five main health facilities in Cape Coast, Ghana was conducted in 2016. Information on sunlight exposure practices and consumption of vitD-rich foods during pregnancy was collected.
