Environmental legacy: The impact of the manufactured gas industry in the United States
Reducing environmental burdens of solid-state lighting through end-of-life design
With 20% of US electricity used for lighting, energy efficient solid-state lighting technology could have significant benefits. While energy efficiency in use is important, the life cycle cost, energy and environmental impacts of light-emitting diode (LED) solid-state lighting could be reduced by reusing, remanufacturing or recycling components of the end products. Design decisions at this time for the nascent technology can reduce material and m…
Clean Recycling of Lead‐Acid Batteries for Electric Vehicles: A Reply to Socolow and Thomas
This article is stimulated by the analysis of Socolow and Thomas in the first issue of this journal. Our work showed that a lead‐acid battery‐powered electric vehicle (Ev) would result in more lead being discharged into the environment than a comparable car burning leaded gasoline. Five hundred thousand EVs would lead to a 20% increase in lead use in the United States, and presumably a comparable 20% increase in lead discharges. The Socolow‐Thoma…
