Clean Air

In atmospheric chemistry, interactions between air pollution, the biosphere and human health, often through reaction mixtures from both natural and anthropogenic sources, are of growing interest. Massive pollution emissions in the Anthropocene have transformed atmospheric composition to the extent that biogeochemical cycles, air quality and climate have changed globally and partly profoundly. It is estimated that mortality attributable to outdoor air pollution amounts to 4.33 million individuals per year, associated with 123 million years of life lost. Worldwide, air pollution is the major environmental risk factor to human health, and strict air quality standards have the potential to strongly reduce morbidity and mortality. Preserving clean air should be considered a human right, and is fundamental to many sustainable development goals of the United Nations, such as good health, climate action, sustainable cities, clean energy, and protecting life on land and in the water. It would be appropriate to adopt “clean air” as a sustainable development goal.

Sustainable development is regarded today as a goal which has to be reached by all countries. Therefore cooperation for development is more than ever necessary to face the global challenges such as poverty, human health, food crisis etc. This work aims to study the regional disparity that may exist between provinces in the south of tunisia. To this end, a data analysis applied to a set of regional development indicators using the principal components analysis method (ACP) was conducted.

Australia is a warm country with well-developed agriculture and a highly urbanized population. How these specific features impact the nitrogen cycle, emissions, and consequently affect environmental and human health is not well understood. Here, we find that the ratio of reactive nitrogen (Nr) losses to air over losses to water in Australia is 1.6 as compared to values less than 1.1 in the USA, the European Union, and China. Australian Nr emissions to air increased by more than 70% between 1961 and 2013, from 1.2 Tg N yr-1 to 2.1 Tg N yr-1. Previous emissions were substantially underestimated mainly due to neglecting the warming climate. The estimated health cost from atmospheric Nr emissions in Australia is 4.6 billion US dollars per year. Emissions of Nr to the environment are closely correlated with economic growth, and reduction of Nr losses to air is a priority for sustainable development in Australia.

Sustainable development – as a well-defined concept – has emerged from a series of Conferences and Summits, where influential people have tried to come to an agreement on how to tackle the “burning issues” of the 21st Century: poverty, increasing inequality, environmental and human health degradation. The present paper presents the most important “stages,” where the “actors” have created and defined the concept of sustainable development and its principles.

The paper aims to be a general analysis material on the principles of modelling sustainable development processes at the regional level, by studying sustainable development of the economy of the regions by supporting regional socio-economic activities, i.e. those processes leading to a sustainable and harmonious development of the region and which do not result in adverse impacts on the human health or the environment. In this context, a regional development plan is proposed that sets out aspects structured on the following dimensions: economy, ecology, social. The plan analyzes all these areas but, what is very important, the adopted measures include elements common to the three spheres, as it is not advisable to prioritize the sectors.

Human health and wellbeing and the health of the biosphere are inextricably linked. The state of Earth’s life-support systems, including freshwater, oceans, land, biodiversity, atmosphere, and climate, affect human health. At the same time, human activities are adversely affecting natural systems. This review paper is the outcome of an interdisciplinary workshop under the auspices of the Future Earth Health Knowledge Action Network (Health KAN). It outlines a research agenda to address cross-cutting knowledge gaps to further understanding and management of the health risks of these global environmental changes through an expert consultation and review process. The research agenda has four main themes: (1) risk identification and management (including related to water, hygiene, sanitation, and waste management); food production and consumption; oceans; and extreme weather events and climate change. (2) Strengthening climate-resilient health systems; (3) Monitoring, surveillance, and evaluation; and (4) risk communication. Research approaches need to be transdisciplinary, multi-scalar, inclusive, equitable, and broadly communicated. Promoting resilient and sustainable development are critical for achieving human and planetary health.

This research is aimed to study the significant number of negative environmental consequences are due to the active development of cities and agglomerations. The technologies of green buildings are constantly being improved with the aim of reducing the overall influence of development on the environment and human health. Today, one of the most important trends of eco-development is to develop the innovations in the field of green building structures. Green modular roofing structures contribute to solving the problems of ecodevelopment in the construction of smart cities and smart buildings for sustainable development.

La Conca de Tremp, situada en la comarca montañosa catalana del Pallars Jussá, es una de las áreas donde más se ha incrementado la ganadería porcina en régimen estabulado en las últimas tres décadas. Los impactos medioambientales negativos derivados de este sistema de producción ganadera son muy considerables, especialmente los relacionados con el vertido de puriñes que ha provocado un alto grado de nitrificación de las aguas. Análisis pormenorizados demuestran que el nivel de nitrificación de las aguas en la Conca de Tremp ha alcanzado un nivel muy alto, con las consecuencias que ello tiene en la salud de las personas. Atendiendo a las exigencias del desarrollo sostenible, única forma de garantizar el futuro de las comarcas de montaña, se apuntan soluciones para paliar los graves problemas generados por la intensificación de la ganadería porcina.The Tremp Basin, placed in the mountainous Catalonian region of the Pallars Jussá, is one of the areas where stabled pig cattle raising has been more increased in the last three decades. Negative environmental impacts, derived from this cattle raising production system are greatly substantial, specially the ones related to purine wastes which have caused a high degree of nitrification of the waters. Detailed analyses show that the degree of nitrification of the waters in the Tremp Basin has reached a very high level, with all that this implies for human health. Attending to the requirements of a sustainable development, which is the only way of granting a future for the mountainous regions, this paper hints at some solutions to lessen the serious problems generated by the intensification ofpig cattle raising.
