Copper Industry

Environmental pollution problems in the copper industry are studied from the water pollution, air pollution and soil pollution. The threshold of copper industry access should be improved and elimination of three-high backward productivity should be accelerated to solve environmental contamination in the copper industry. Meanwhile, promoting of energy conservation and emission reduction and rational exploitation for natural resources also should be valued.

Pollution Indicators

The balanced environmentally sustainable economic development of Ukraine can be achieved by increasing the efficiency of the nature protection efforts, which requires the improved methods for assessment, modeling and forecasting of environmental performance and environmental pollution indicators. The article’s objective is to make a statistical forecasting of environmental pollution indicators in Ukraine, to outline the areas of nature protection work in this country. Air pollution, water pollution and hazardous wastes in Ukraine are forecasted considering the main factors of influence, selected with reference to the Strategy of the State Environmental Policy of Ukraine: GDP, the number of implemented resource-saving technologies, energy intensity of GDP, current spending on environmental protection. The project estimates for air pollution, water pollution and hazardous wastes were derived by use of regression models and factors projection. Results of the forecasting show that the emission of pollutants and carbon dioxide in the air, water pollution and pollution with hazardous wastes will be significantly reduced by 2022 if the current trends and patterns of development remain unchanged. Results of the forecasting confirm the need to introduce a series of measures concerned with waste treatment, air pollution and water pollution, to improve the regulatory system in nature protection activities in Ukraine.

: Concerns and uncertainty about the life on Earth are constantly growing, today greater than ever before, as a result of human activity. In this regard, the major dangers that threaten our planet include uncontrolled utilization of natural resources, environmental deterioration and environmental pollution over Earth's regenerating possibilities. Whereas, the main causes of pollution are deforestation, erosion, greenhouse gas emissions, poor urban and industrial waste control and uncontrolled mining activities. All of these lead to serious consequences for life on Earth, because of the natural resources of the soil and its capacity to absorb waste gases (CH4), and the release of heavy metals such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Fe and As, which are the biggest soil pollutants. The Earth is being cemented, and its regenerating capacities are being diminished every day.

Abstract Background: China’s economic boom has led to severe environmental pollution, which has created significant health risks for residents. Although current studies have found urban residents can sense the harmful effects of environmental pollution in China, few studies have talked about their rural counterparts’ attitudes towards the health impacts of environmental pollution. Similarly, little research has talked about the inequality of environmental awareness between urban and rural residents. Methods: Descriptive and analytical statistics were used for the data analyses based on a national survey, namely, The 3rd Survey on the Status of Chinese Women in 2010, which was jointly conducted by the All China Women's Federation and the China Statistical Bureau in 2010. A total of 24741observations were selected. Results: Among urban residents, 67.21% reported that their total health was good, which was 1.35% lower than the reported rate of their rural counterparts; 25.88% of urban residents reported that their total health was general, which was nearly 3% higher than the reported rate of their rural counterparts; 6.91% of urban residents reported that their total health was poor, which was 1.63% lower than the reported rate of their rural counterparts. The study also found that the rates of urban residents who perceived air pollution (35.67%), water pollution (17.96%), garbage pollution (25.05%), and noise pollution (32.05%) were higher than those of their rural counterparts. Perceived air pollution, and perceived noise pollution both had a negative effect on urban residents’ good health (B=-0.14, p<0.05; B=-0.23, p<0.001). Perceived garbage pollution had a positive effect on urban residents’ poor health (B=0.33, p<0.01). Perceived water pollution had no significant effect on urban residents’ health. The four types of perceived environmental pollution all had insignificant effects on rural residents’ health. Conclusions: Rural residents lack awareness of the impacts of environmental pollution on health, which may create risks and vulnerability within the rural environment and the livelihood of these residents. Great attention should be paid to the impacts of environmental pollution on the health of not only urban residents but also rural residents, which will highly improve the support of green development among the public in China.

Artificial intelligence has become a large part of everyday life. The world is heading towards new heights of adaption of various decision support technologies. In the present era, the rate at which we are consuming natural finite resources and depleting them, through producing chemicals, soil pollution, water pollution, air pollution, etc., is destroying our ecosystem. We have tried several recycling methods to minimize wastage, but it is insignificant. Now there is a need to think about state-of-the-art technological support like artificial intelligence (AI). This chapter explores the prospects of artificial intelligence in the circular economy.
