Pollution Impact

The growing awareness of the human and environmental vulnerability, to the pollution resulting from industrial activity, highlights the urgent need for control and mitigate the degradation of the world as we know it. The leather industry, considered as one of the industries with a significant environmental impact, applies several chemicals, some of them considered as hazardous chemicals, such as chromium, in leather production. The restricted EU environmental regulations have driven the search for a process that ensures regulatory compliance and a final product that fulfills society’s requirements. The present review describes alternative options, applied in the leather tanning process in the last five years, to overcome some of the industry barriers, without compromising the final characteristics of leather.

The number of consumers with green awareness have grown these days and as a result they have turned to purchase eco-friendly products. For this reason, this study aims to propose a method for eco-design based on the anticipatory failure determination method to develop eco-design products. By using eco-design concepts adopted from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the process will limit the failures and issues related to environmental impact in product design. The proposed method for eco-design product in this study follows the following procedure. First, we analyze product failure. Second, we propose the determination of the non-green phenomenon of the failure. Thirdly, we integrate the intensified non-green phenomenon to generate non-green hypotheses and fourthly, we eliminate each non-green phenomenon hypothesis by introducing the contradiction matrix of TRIZ for obtaining solutions. Finally, we assess alternative eco-design solutions by evaluation. To verify the practicality of the new procedure, a washing machine is used as an example for illustration.

Background. The problem of stable activity of domestic producers, in particular in the production of leather and footwear, is exacerbated by increasing global competition along with the loss of significant share of domestic and foreign markets. The regulating of the development of industrial production, domestic and foreign markets for light industry products is one of the most important tasks of the state today. Therefore, the assessment of the state of Ukraine’s foreign trade in the leather and leathermaterials market is important component for forecasting andshaping the development of domestic leather manufacturing. The aim of the work is to analyze the dynamics of Ukraine’s foreign trade on the leather materials market and to establish key directions for thedevelopment of Ukraine’s leather industry to increase the competitiveness of domestic products in an international environment. Materials and methods. Methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison and gene­ra­lization are used for work. Statistical data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, customs statistics of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine, as well as data from the Inter­national Trade Center are used to study the leather market of various finishing methods in the world. Results. The analysis of foreign trade activities of the leather materials market showed that leather, additionally processed after tanning, significantly exceeds exports in imports, while tanned leather without processing in exports is ten times higher than im­ports. The analysis of world trade indicators determined that leather with a natural full grain surface is characterized by the greatest competitiveness against polished leather withan artificial grain surface. According to the indicators of foreign trade activity, Ukraine ranks third among the countries – leaders in world imports of leather with a natural full grain surface configuration in the form of halves. According to this commodity position, Ukraine ranks 13th in world exports. Conclusion. The analysis of Ukraine’s foreign trade on the leather materials mar­ket revealed the need of forming commodity and technological specializations of the domestic leather industry in accordance with the production of leather with a natural full grain surface from cowhides as the most competitive product in the international environment.

In recent years, discoveries of methane plumes (also called methane flares) have been reported in various sea areas around the world. Clusters of naturally seeping methane bubbles rising from the seafloor are visualized as methane plumes on the echograms of quantitative echo sounders and multibeam sonars. In order to determine if seeping methane can be used as energy resources and its environmental impact, it is necessary to estimate the amount of naturally seeping methane. From April, 2020, a 3-year project is being conducted in Japan to evaluate the amount of methane seepage from methane plumes. The authors propose the following steps to quantify the amount of methane seepage accurately. First of all, methane plumes in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Japan are mapped out using acoustic devices such as quantitative echo sounders and multibeam sonars. Secondly, methane bubbles of a few millimeters in diameter from methane seeps at seafloor are collected and sampled using a cone-shaped collector with 20 cm in diameter, operated by Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). If we can identify the number of seep mouths that form into one single plume, we will be able to quantify the methane seepage from one plume. Based on this result, calibration of the mean backscattering strength and the amount of seeping methane from methane plumes becomes possible and will be applied to the mapped plumes in order to estimate the methane seepage in the EEZ of Japan. Once this calibration is established, it can be applied to the methane plumes observed worldwide, and methane seepage can be quantified simply by acoustic observations of methane plumes. In this study, a method to verify the correlation between methane plumes and methane seeps is introduced, as well as a method to locate methane seeps effectively using the Target Position function of a quantitative echo sounder. The authors intend to use this as the basic data for establishing a method to estimate the amount of methane released from a methane plume by observing the methane plume acoustically.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the outcome of the increasing need and dependence on rice as an essential food, and the potential hazards of this trajectory in an interdependent world, and to propose the need for a supranational system to guide decisions made in areas of mutual dependency among nations. All rice producing countries of the world should be responsible for assuring sufficient quantities and qualities of rice for the world's population. However, there are hazards related to emphasis on rice yields associated with the neglect of overall nutritional needs and also the potential for environmental impact given the need for sustainable development. Scientific measurement and data analyses of interdependent supranational variables are needed to guide policies and practices to insure conditions for life will be favorable for people everywhere.
