One of the ways to improve the environmental situation in various regions of the world has become the improvement of technologies for protection against hazardous pollution in soil, atmosphere, groundwater. The article is devoted to the analysis of the conceptual proposal within the framework of participation in the competition “Students reinventing cities. The promising methods of elimination and localization of environmental pollution using geochemical barriers are outlined. Examples of natural and artificial geochemical barriers are considered. Attention is drawn to the possibility of using anti-filtration screens as artificial barriers in areas with passive technogenic impact. The potential of using artificial barriers for the safe cultivation of plant crops at the former Payatas controlled waste disposal facility in Quezon City, Philippines is being identified. The importance of creating green spaces in the territory with limited opportunities for economic use is justified.

In recent years, the importance of greening enterprises in all institutions has grown as a practical entry point for dealing with target markets and global markets. In this chapter, it will be referred to the theoretical framework of the concept of greening business as a new strategic philosophical approach that has become reliable in various organizations, and the reasons behind the adoption of these green initiatives in the course of companies work and the benefits achieved. Thus, universities in different countries of the world have adopted a strategic approach to the environment, sustainability, and green direction in their work. As a result, many measures exist to achieve green directives for universities, such as reducing environmental pollution, recycling, increasing green spaces in the universities, conserving water, etc.

Living Organisms

Life’s quality is depending on quality of environment. As environment creates favorable surroundings for survival, growth and development of existing organisms. All living organisms are affected indirectly or directly due to environmental pollution. It is due to rapid increases in human being. Environmental pollution especially by anthropogenic activities is a main problem facing the world today and there is a need for increasing attentiveness that a clean and green environment is essential for better growth of living organisms in this changing climate of World. It is our top most priority to keep our country clean and green as cleanness is a part of our faith. Thus environmental pollution is causing great threat to plants, animals and to human all over the world. As each and every problem has a solution, because problem is always artificial, man desires to find the solution. In recent innovations there is a need to develop clean and green spaces within and around the polluted areas for existence of better environment. As some plants can act as pollution sink working as natural lungs. So,“the green revolution (Plantation) is the best solution to arrest the pollution”. If haphazard population growth goes on increasing without realizing the importance of trees especially those which act as pollution sink then there would be more critical changes for living organisms in near coming future

Aging Populations

The world is facing the challenge of aging populations. Urban natural environments, including green spaces and blue spaces, have been demonstrated to have great benefits to the mental restoration of the elderly. However, the study of the specific characteristics of urban environments that are popular and the most restorative for the elderly is still lacking. Photo elicitation as visual stimuli was utilized to explore the differences in preference and psychological restoration of the elderly through the perception of the eight perceived sensory dimensions (PSDs) in different types of urban environments. The results showed that: (1) The respondents had different perceptions of the eight PSDs in the different urban natural environments. Blue space and partly-closed green space were more preferred by the elderly, and also had more psychological restorative effects on the elderly. (2) There was no significant correlation between the number of highly perceived PSDs and preference, as well as between the number of highly perceived PSDs and psychological restoration. However, there was a significant correlation between preference and psychological restoration. (3) Partly-closed green space with more Serene and Refuge qualities, and blue space with more Serene, Refuge and Prospect properties were optimal characteristics for psychological restoration of the elderly. In addition, open green space with more Prospect, Serene and Social qualities, and closed green space with more Space, Refuge and less Nature properties could also increase psychological restoration of older adults. These findings can provide useful guidelines for restorative environmental design for the elderly in the future.

Abstract Soybean meal is one of the most popular components of compound feed. The rise of its demand in the world causes a constant interest in this cargo and to conduct research in different directions. This is related to its inherent properties, and to the continuous changes that occur in it. Soybean meal is a solid bulk cargo. Loose soybean meal, apart from larger particles, also contains fine and dusty/powdery fractions, which create the risk of explosion and environmental pollution. The problem of protecting the environment against dusting of fine fractions of soybean meal is very important in the cargo handling processes. An additional aspect is the destructive effect of powdery fractions during these processes. The results of the research on the degrading effect of fine fractions of soybean meal and its compounds on the means of transshipments were presented. Due to the interaction of esters and other compounds contained in the soybean meal, the research has the implications for the changes in the properties of the rubber elements of the elevator conveyor. The effect of these changes may be the reduced durability of the conveyor belts and the associated risks such as operational failures.

Artificial Geochemical Barriers

The possibility of soil restoration by means of phytotechnology and artificial geochemical barriers (GB) from contamination by radionuclides (RN) and toxic elements (TE) is methodologically substantiated. For this purpose, a number of artificial GBs were created at a special landfill within the framework of a model experiment. The process of formation and development of barriers, their parameters are investigated. Agrophytocenosis cultures were selected for optimal phytostabilization of soil conditions. The study of phytoextraction of TE and RN by agrophytocenosis cultures during one complete vegetation period was performed. Some selectivity of the investigated plants for extraction of different TEs and RNs from soils and material of barriers was revealed.
