The disperse phase of waste fumes forming during cold and hot fish smoking was studied by distributing the particles into 6 fractions and determining benz(a)pyrene (BP) in them. The level of BP in less than 2.5 mu was shown to be 85% whether smoking was hot or cold. The levels of 17 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were measured in three-dimensional fractions of fume particles. In all the fractions, phenanthrene and fluoranthene were of priority in weight. The proportion of BP in the total levels of PAH in waste fumes of cold and hot smokers was 0.69 and 0.74%, respectively and the carcinogenic activity was 46.42 and 49.0%. The investigations demonstrated that the waste fumes of smokers did not contain the particles that are PAH carriers.

Nitroaromatics, as an important member and source of nitrogen-containing aromatics, is bringing enormous economic benefits in fields of pharmaceuticals, dyes, pesticides, functional materials, fertilizers, and explosives. Nonetheless, the notoriously polluting nitration industry, which suffers from excessive discharge of fumes and waste acids, poor functional group tolerance, and tremendous purification difficulty, renders mild, efficient, and environmentally friendly nitration a formidable challenge. Herein, we develop a visible-light-driven biocompatible arene C-H nitration strategy with good efficiency and regioselectivity, marvelous substrate applicability and functional group tolerance, and wide application in scale-up synthesis, total synthesis, and late-stage functionalization.

Increasing amount of plastic waste (PW) poses a global challenge that necessitates multifaceted strategies. Repurposing PW in asphalt pavement is a sustainable strategy with extensive benefits, but there are several challenges that need to be overcome. This systematic review aims to examine three significant aspects associated with plastic-modified asphalt: environmental and health considerations, performance and technical properties, and cost.

Rubber modified asphalt (RMA) is a promising avenue for recycling waste tires but faces concerns over hazardous fumes emission during production and construction. This study employs a specialized apparatus to analyze RMA's emission behavior, focusing on crumb rubber size variations under thermal conditions. Ozone Formation Potential (OFP) and Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation Potential (SOAFP) were quantified to evaluate the environmental burden.

The post-harvest fumigant, sulfuryl fluoride (SOF), is a >1000-fold more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide and methane. Pilot studies have shown that SOF fumes vented from fumigation chambers can be captured and hydrolyzed by hydroxide (OH) and hydrogen peroxide (HO) at pH ∼ 12 in a scrubber, producing SO and F as waste salts. To reduce the costs and challenges associated with purchasing and mixing these reagents onsite, this study evaluates the electrochemical generation of OH and HO within spent scrubbing solution, taking advantage of the waste SO and F as free sources of electrolyte.

Each year, the rising demand for palm oil generates large amounts of palm kernel shell waste. Discarded palm kernel shells can produce activated carbon, crushed shells, liquified fumes, and other derivatives; however, their indiscriminate disposal persists, raising issues related to the environment and economy. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the use of palm kernel shell as a corrosion inhibitor for thermo-mechanically treated steel in a seawater environment using gravimetric and electrochemical techniques, as well as surface tests at varying concentrations.
