According to the FAO Statistical Yearbook 2020, over 800 million people, or 27% of the world's labor force, find their livelihoods in agriculture. Agriculture is essential to human livelihoods and well-being; however, many agricultural operations are responsible for releasing substantial amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases include significant quantities of methane, which contributes to hazardous levels of tropospheric ozone and air pollution and is more powerful than carbon dioxide at warming our planet. Methane emissions from agriculture have often been viewed as more difficult to abate, both because of regulatory and financial challenges as well as a perceived risk to livelihood and food security. But that makes a focus on agriculture methane emissions all the more important, and many opportunities to reduce emissions have not been widely enough understood—both to scale existing solutions and to drive forward innovation and R&D. Now is the time to scale up efforts to reshape the agriculture sector to support farmers, improve the productivity of farms, build resilience, keep jobs available, and reduce methane emissions across agriculture and food systems. — World Resources Institute, 3d ago

IWMI and key stakeholders also heralded that they are developing a watershed modelling approach to analyze loads, fate, transport and human exposure to microbiological pollutants through water flow pathways with the intent of narrowing down data and knowledge gaps regarding harmful bacteria and AMR modelling for water pollution control authorities and watershed planners in the country. — Agrilinks, 14d ago
There is no easy way to stop harmful algae blooms. Prevention would likely require tighter regulations on fertilizer use, expensive upgrades to wastewater facilities to better filter out nitrogen and phosphorus, and improvements to rural septic systems to prevent leakage into watersheds. Even with such measures in place, accumulated nutrients in a water body’s sediment and surrounding watersheds can continue to fuel blooms for years afterward. — Canada's National Observer, 10d ago
Keith Weitz, director, sustainability and resource management, brings over 30 years of experience to RTI working to assess the vulnerability of waste sector infrastructure to climate impacts, such as sea level rise in coastal regions. He is currently working to characterize the flow of PFAS-containing materials in U.S. commerce and evaluating end-of-life management for PFAS-containing materials with a focus on PFAS destruction and potential release of PFAS into the environmental from landfills and thermal treatment systems. Weitz is also providing technical expertise to domestic and international initiatives to address plastic pollution in the Mississippi River, Jamaica, Sri Lanka and Maldives. He helps clients to develop strategy, policies, best-management practices for emerging materials of concern including medical waste, electronics waste, and construction and demolition waste. — rti.org, 7w ago
Sponge City by Kongjian Yu: Traditional urban development often leads to extensive land cover with impervious surfaces, increasing surface runoff, urban flooding, and water pollution. The Sponge City concept represents a paradigm shift in urban planning. It emphasizes the importance of creating permeable landscapes that can "absorb" rainwater, much like a sponge. By integrating green roofs, porous pavements, wetlands, and other green infrastructure, these cities are designed to capture, store, and purify rainwater, reducing flood risks and increasing urban resilience. As urban areas worldwide grapple with climate change and its implications, the Sponge City approach offers a holistic and sustainable solution to water management challenges, making it a transformative idea in urban design. — Archinect, 11w ago

The global demand for environmental technology solutions is being driven by the growing emphasis on environmental sustainability, strict rules on pollution management, and the need to combat climate change. Environmental technologies encompass a broad range of issues, such as renewable energy, waste management, water treatment, air pollution control, and other concerns that are crucial for alleviating environmental problems. — alliedmarketresearch.com, 4w ago
Wastewater treatment plays a crucial role in environmental technology due to its significance in addressing the environmental and public health challenges related to industrialization and urbanization. Wastewater produced by businesses and communities in industrialized areas often contains a variety of pollutants and toxins. Direct discharge of untreated wastewater into water bodies has the potential to contaminate water sources, which could have an adverse effect on downstream aquatic ecosystems, wildlife, and human populations. Governments and environmental agencies implement strict regulations to control the quality of discharged wastewater. These regulations aim to limit the levels of pollutants and ensure that the effluent does not harm the environment or human health. — Allied Market Research, 4w ago
Industrial activities such as mining, construction, manufacturing, and agriculture generate vast amounts of dust. Inhalation of airborne particles can lead to respiratory issues, and the deposition of dust can have adverse effects on the environment. Recognizing these challenges, industries worldwide are increasingly investing in advanced dust control systems to create healthier work environments and comply with stringent environmental regulations. Stringent environmental and occupational safety regulations are driving the adoption of dust control systems. Governments and regulatory bodies are imposing stricter standards to limit emissions and protect both workers and the environment. — EIN Presswire, 10d ago
