Exploring behaviour of socio-economic metabolic flows to promote environmentally sustainable consumption patterns in Sri Lankan households
While households depend on various material and energy inflows from outside their boundaries, their behaviour has changed over the years with rapid economic development and urbanisation. Therefore, monitoring these resource inflows and outflows and understanding how they relate to household consumption patterns are crucial to uplifting environmentally sustainable policies and practices. With limited studies available, this study aims to contribut…
Greenhouse gas emissions and cost assessments of municipal solid waste treatment and final disposal in Maputo City
A new approach to estimate concentrations of alcohol ethoxylate in rivers in Japan for screening-level risk assessment
Alcohol ethoxylate (AE) is a widely used household detergent that is ubiquitous in aquatic environments. To assess and manage the risk of AE, its environmental exposure concentrations must be evaluated in rivers nationwide; however, very few AE monitoring data are currently available. Furthermore, developing a rigorous exposure model that would cover rivers nationwide would require a great deal of time, human resources, and money. We developed a …
Evaluating effects on the flow of electrical and electronic equipment and energy consumption due to alternative consumption patterns in China
In this paper, we evaluated the effects of consumer’s behavioural changes on usage and disposal of home appliances. With the model to estimate the product circulation, first we conducted the sensitivity analysis with the six parameters, namely urbanisation, household size, Gini coefficient, product lifetime and selection rate of used product and high energy efficiency product. Then, secondly we evaluated CO2 emission and e-waste generation from f…
Screening Risk Assessment of Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins in Ecosystems Using a Multimedia Model
Short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are persistent and highly bioaccumulative substances. The possible risks to ecosystems caused by releases of SCCPs to the environment have been assessed in the European Union and the United States of America. The study reported in this paper was a screening risk assessment of SCCPs in the ecosystems of Japan. However, the monitoring data for SCCPs in Japan were too limited to estimate the overview of expo…
