Clean water resources are crucial for societies in order to maintain safety as well as social, ecological and economic progress. As the population grows, agricultural, domestic and industrial activities produce large amounts of wastewaters that can be treated and reused in variety of purposes considering circular economy philosophy. This review presents the challenges and future prospects of wastewater treatment using membrane technologies and is related to SDG 6: Clean water and sanitation.
This study provides new insight into the evolution of influx assessment employing concurrent sampling in large-sized rivers.
This chapter advances UN SDG goals 7 and 13 by critically evaluating the current status of waste-to-energy (WtE) processes to determine how best to move forward from a few successful WtE demonstrations to commercial-scale processes.
Drug resistance became widely recognized global threats in last two decades. Knowledge of drug resistance, development of new vaccines and medicines, public awareness program, government support (policies and incentive), development of new diagnostic tool, industrial support in medical research are the need of the hour that will help the mankind to fight back and deal with drug resistance and helps to support SDG3.
We observe the link between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We use automated methodologies to find insights and overlaps between AI and the SDGs. AI-Ethics frameworks need to give more attention to Society and Environment areas. Inclusive action is needed to balance the efforts for solving SDGs by using AI.SDGs 13, 14, and 15 (all related to the Environment area) are not sufficiently addressed.
The article investigates the role of environmental pollutants, especially endocrine disrupting chemical, and their negative effect on fertility.
Since 2011, the RELX Environmental Challenge has been awarded to projects that best demonstrate how they can provide sustainable access to safe water or sanitation. Poor access to water and sanitation has been a growing crisis, with around 800m people worldwide lacking access to clean water and 2bn people lacking access to basic sanitation. The 2022 winners have created innovative solutions to achieve SDG 6, access to clean water and sanitation for all.
This is an Opinion article by two highly accomplished synthetic biologists that explains how synthetic biology tools can benefit oceans.
