  • Outside the Safe Operating Space of the Planetary Boundary for Novel Entities

    Open AccessLinn Persson, Bethanie Carney Almroth et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Technology2022

    We submit that the safe operating space of the planetary boundary of novel entities is exceeded since annual production and releases are increasing at a pace that outstrips the global capacity for assessment and monitoring. The novel entities boundary in the planetary boundaries framework refers to entities that are novel in a geological sense and that could have large-scale impacts that threaten the integrity of Earth system processes. We review…

  • Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds in Car Dust: A Pilot Study in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

    Open AccessNadeem Ali, Mohammad W Kadi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    People may spend a significant amount of their daily time in cars and thus be exposed to chemicals present in car dust. Various chemicals are emitted from during car use, contaminating the car dust. In this study, we compiled published and unpublished data on the occurrence of phthalates, flame retardants (FRs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in Saudi car dust. Phthalates, a class of chemical commonl…

  • Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet

    Open AccessWill Steffen, Katherine Richardson et al.ARTICLEScience2015

    Crossing the boundaries in global sustainability The planetary boundary (PB) concept, introduced in 2009, aimed to define the environmental limits within which humanity can safely operate. This approach has proved influential in global sustainability policy development. Steffen et al. provide an updated and extended analysis of the PB framework. Of the original nine proposed boundaries, they identify three (including climate change) that might pu…
