This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure by discussing the relationship between mental health, aging, and the COVID-19 pandemic, and the infrastructure in place to address declines in mental health in these populations.
Wastewater treatment processes are generally expensive and energy-intensive, emitting greenhouse gases like methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide. One of the critical challenges in wastewater treatment is the removal of heavy metals, including cadmium, lead, arsenic, chromium, and zinc. THis artciles explores the use of biochar for the removal of Cd2+ and Zn2+.
Antibiotics are persistent in water and the environment. This study investigates the performance of activated carbon from olive pomace (ACOP) in the removal of hydrophilic organic pharmaceutical micropollutants such as the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from water.
This year’s RELX SDG Inspiration Day will bring together global AI leaders, corporate representatives, investors, government, and NGOs to explore issues, gain practical insights and be inspired to take action in support of the Global Goals. Elsevier is proud to share this special collection of articles and chapters in celebration of this event.
This article examines the development of a Nature Farming (NF) system standard for poultry production in Brazil, aiming to better communicate the sustainability attributes of NF products throughout the supply chain. Through qualitative research with various stakeholders, the study highlights the unique environmental, economic, social, ethical, and health dimensions of NF poultry and proposes clearer labeling and certification standards. The findings suggest that establishing a dedicated NF standard can enhance product differentiation, improve consumer communication, and support sustainable supply chain management.
