The removal efficiencies of typical unintentionally produced persistent organic pollutants (UP-POPs) from flues gases from coke gas burning were obtained using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) equipment installed in a large coking plant. The total congeners of polychlorinated dibenzo--dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in the flue gases at the inlet and outlet of the SCR equipment and the dustfall were analyzed. The results show that the removal efficiency of the total PCDD/Fs was the highest (94.6%). The removal efficiencies of total PCBs and total PCNs were 74.7% and 78.4%, respectively. The homologue profile of UP-POPs in the flue gases at the inlet of the SCR equipment notably differed from that at the outlet. Highly chlorinated UP-POPs predominated over the homologue profile of UP-POPs in the inlet flue gas, while low-chlorinated UP-POPs were predominant in the outlet flue gas. The SCR equipment achieved a better removal efficiency with respect to highly chlorinated UP-POPs. Catalytic reduction and catalytic oxidation degradation are both important mechanisms for the removal of UP-POPs from flue gas using SCR equipment.

Response Time and Influencing Factors Among Emergency Nurses in Indonesian Hospital: A Scoping Review of Current Evidence.

J Multidiscip Healthc

January 2025

Department of Critical Care and Emergency Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang, 45363, Indonesia.

Background: The incidence of mass casualty incidents and severe emergencies such as cerebrovascular and motor vehicle accidents in Indonesia is increasing, leading to an increased burden on emergency services. The current literature on response times and associated factors in Indonesian emergency departments (EDs) is extensive yet lacks comprehensive national and regional analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to synthesize existing research on emergency nurse response times in Indonesian hospital settings and identify the factors influencing these times.

The emission of NH has been reported to pose a serious threat to both human health and the environment. To efficiently eliminate NH, catalysts for the selective catalytic oxidation of NH (NH-SCO) have been intensively studied. FeO-based catalysts were found to exhibit superior NH oxidation activity; however, the low N selectivity made it less attractive in practical applications.
