Abstract

This study analyzed the lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) concentrations in the water and cultured oysters (Crassostrea iredalei) of Cañacao Bay, Philippines and assessed the health risks associated with these heavy metal contaminations. Oyster and water samples from three sampling stations were collected from October 2016 to January 2017 for heavy metal analysis using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Results showed low Pb and Cd concentrations in water and C. iredalei, which were within the maximum limits set by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI). Pb concentrations in oysters ranged from < 0.1 to 0.4 ± 0.1 mg/kg while Cd ranged from 0.027 ± 0.006 to 0.083 ± 0.006 mg/kg. Pb and Cd bioaccumulated in oyster tissues, but only Pb exhibited seasonal variation in concentration. The Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) and Total Target Hazard Quotient (TTHQ) were used to estimate noncarcinogenic health risks for Pb and Cd through oyster consumption. All THQs were below 1.0 indicating that there was no appreciable risk to the general population for developing noncarcinogenic effects caused by Pb and Cd in cultured oysters. Continuous monitoring of heavy metals in aquaculture areas and seafood is warranted to ensure food safety among consuming public.

Abstract

The study investigates the feasibility of producing bioethanol from corn (Zea mays) wastes. Corn cobs, husks and grains were collected from Githurai market and analysis was done in the Kenyatta university laboratory. Wastes were physically pre-treated to increase their surface area for enzymatic reactions. Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation were carried out by using Aspergillus niger for enzymatic hydrolysis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast for fermentation at different incubation temperatures (28oC, 30oC, 32oC) and times (24, 48, 72 and 96 hours). Fermentation was carried out in 150 ml cotton- plugged conical flasks containing 100 ml sample hydrolysates inoculated with 2 ml cultured yeast suspension. Ethanol concentration was determined by potassium dichromate oxidation method after each incubation time and expressed as % v/v whilst ethanol yield (l/kg) was derived from the ethanol concentration divided by the quantity of substrates used. Maximum yields of 1.84 l/kg, 1.76 l/kg and 2.05 l/kg were obtained from 50 g of pre-treated corn cobs, corn husks and corn grains respectively. The optimum temperature for maximum ethanol yield in all corn substrates was 30oC whilst incubation time 96 hours, 48 hours and 24 hours were optimum for ethanol production in corn cobs, corn husks and corn grains respectively. Results show that bioethanol can easily be produced from corn wastes and is recommended that they are used wisely for energy generation specifically bioethanol to add value to them rather than landfilling.

Abstract

Microplastic contamination in the aquatic environment is a worldwide problem endangering aquatic organisms and human health. However, few reports were published in the Philippines especially in different edible fishery products. Hence, an investigation to report its prevalence in edible fishery products, especially in a fishery-dependent country, is necessary. This study was conducted to detect, characterize, and quantify microplastics from cultured Green mussel Perna viridis in Bacoor Bay, Cavite, Philippines. Samples (n=63) were collected from the inner, middle, and outer parts of Bacoor Bay. Isolation and characterization were conducted using wet peroxide oxidation-assisted density separation and stereomicroscopy, respectively. Results show a low concentration of microplastics from P. viridis cultured in Bacoor Bay. The highest microplastic count was observed from the inner bay (0.41 particle/gwet weight) followed by the middle bay (0.40 particle/gwet weight), then the outer bay (0.27 particle/gwet weight). The majority of microplastics in all sites were fibers (61%), color red (29%), and were dominated with > 10 to 50 µm length. This study revealed that microplastic is prevalent in Bacoor bay. Further study on confirming the microplastic polymers from P. viridis cultured in Bacoor bay is recommended.

Abstract

Sustainable living is a key concept for eco-friendly lifestyles in consumer societies. Two major sustainable living solutions are based on knowledge and product. Their roles and impacts on sustainable living are controversial. Despite offering innovative approaches to sustainability solutions, products are consumption-dependent. On the contrary, knowledge-based solutions are resource-intensive, while technically resources are limited. This research analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of knowledge-based and product-based sustainable living solutions through a survey regarding environmental sensitivity and sustainable lifestyles from a specific local market. This study highlighted IKEA as the case. From the consumer’s point of view, some IKEA sustainable living dimensions are more knowledge-based, yet the rest of them are product-based. For holistic sustainable living solutions, the combination of the two is crucial. The findings of this study suggest strategies to increase individual and corporate awareness of sustainable living practices from knowledge and product perspectives. In this respect, this study is valuable for IKEA and other companies to revise their strategies in promoting sustainable living and guide sustainable consumer behavior.

Abstract

Microplastics of less than 5 mm have been widely found in the river sediments that cross the city. Sources of microplastic pollutants can be seen in rivers crossing Yogyakarta City studies on microplastic have never been carried out. This study analyzed the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in river sediments of Yogyakarta City. Data collection was carried out in December 2019 in Winongo River, Code River, and Gadjahwong River. Each sample of the three sediments was taken at each point of the three inlets and outlets in Yogyakarta City. The sediment sample was separated to obtain supernatant-containing microplastics. The abundance of microplastics was quantified and grouped based on the shape, size, and color. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to compare the concentration of microplastic in the three rivers. The results showed that the abundance of microplastics ranged from 279.31 to 1,026.93 particles kg-1, with a higher abundance in the inlet than the outlet. The Code River sediment has the highest microplastic abundance, followed by the Gadjahwong River, and Winongo River. The sediment samples in the rivers crossing Yogyakarta City have been contaminated mainly by the fragment-shaped, transparent, and 1-100 µm microplastics.

Abstract

Genuk District is a residential development area which has a role as a Semarang City's transportation hubs. It is directly adjacent to Demak Regency and the Java Sea. As of the time of writing, Genuk District has a population of 117,174 people with the total of 130.88 m³ waste transported to the landfill each day and the percentage of waste transportation services in the area is 38.53%. The waste transportation average operational time is 0.2 hours exceeding the amount of working time with the number of 17 trips/day. This planning aims to arrange the waste transportation system in Genuk District by taking into account the traffic congestion in order to get the optimal operational time and costs. Arm roll truck vehicle operating costs in the existing conditions in 2020 was IDR 1,347,411,591.00, while in the optimized condition would be IDR 1,341,405,786.37. Meanwhile, dump truck vehicle operating cost in the existing conditions in 2020 was IDR 302,002,441.00, while in the optimized condition would be IDR 278,453,956.22. The operational time for waste transportation should be started at 06.00-15.00. After optimization, the average remaining working hours becomes 2.68 hours per day with a vehicle's speed of 57.11 km/hour. The planning for waste transportation system optimization will reduce the retribution costs by IDR 900.00 and increase the percentage of waste transportation services to 53%.

Abstract

Theories are used to improve conceptualization of research ideas. These theories enhance valuable elucidations that helps us to grasp the meaning of research findings. Nevertheless, the use of theories to promote studies in green supplier selection in procurement decisions has attracted little attention. With the emergence of sustainable procurement, public procurement practitioners in Ghana are yet to achieve relevant knowledge on green supplier selections due to insufficient knowledge and inadequate appropriate frameworks. The flagrancy of the consequences of public procurers’ failure to integrate environmental considerations into supplier selection explains the adoption of a multi-theory approach for comprehension of the dynamics of green integration into supplier selection. In this paper, the practicality of three theories for improving the understanding of the influential factors enhancing the integration of environmental sustainability into supplier selection was reviewed. The three theories are: Resource Based Theory, Human Capital Theory and Absorptive Capacity Theory. This review uncovered knowledge management, top management commitment, and environmental management capabilities as important elements needed for the integration of environmental sustainability into supplier selection in public procurement. The theoretical review yielded a framework that conceptualizes knowledge and capabilities of practitioners relevant to incorporation of environmental sustainability into supplier selection in public procurement.

Abstract

The need for built-up areas continues to increase, along with the increasing population in the city of Surakarta and its surrounding. This condition affects the land surface temperature which then leads to the change in climatic conditions. The availability of land for settlement and surface temperature will affect the comfort level of living in a city. For this reason, this study aims to map the distribution of built-up area and the surface temperature of Surakarta city and discusses the relationship between these two aspects spatially and temporally. The data used are Landsat imageries recorded in 2000, 2013, and 2019. The built-up area was identified using Normalized Difference Built-Up Index (NDBI), while the temperature data was obtained through thermal band processing using Land Surface Temperature (LST) method. The results showed that during the period of the study, the built-up area and the surface temperature in Surakarta and its surroundings increased, especially in the eastern and southern parts of Surakarta. The results also showed that there is a positive correlation between the built-up index and its surface temperature.

Abstract

Bagelen and its surrounding area are parts of the Kulon Progo Hills which have less water potential. However, groundwater can still be obtained from dug wells or several springs in the hills. This study aims to determine the quality of groundwater in the study area as clean water and drinking water. Hydrogeological surveys have been conducted to see the quality of this groundwater. Groundwater samples were taken from six dug wells and two springs. Groundwater can be found in sandstone, limestone and andesite breccias aquifers, through intergrains and cracks porosities. Groundwater usually has Ca-bicarbonate facies. The need for good quality groundwater for drinking and clean water has been investigated based on the WQI value. The WQI value is determined based on several physical parameters, including turbidity and TDS and chemical parameters such as pH, Fe, hardness, Mn, nitrate, Zn, sulfate, chloride and sodium. Based on the Minister of Health Regulation standard No. 492/2010 for drinking water and No.  32/2017 for clean water, the groundwater showed good - excellent value for drinking water and excellent value for clean water.

Abstract

Drought is regarded as a natural phenomenon and its impacts accumulate slowly over a long period. It is considered to be insufficient precipitation that leads to water scarcity, as triggered by meteorological parameters, such as temperature, precipitation and humidity. However, drought mitigation has mostly been reactive, but this has been challenged by extreme events globally. Many countries and regions around the world have made efforts in mitigating drought impacts, including Nigeria. This study produced frameworks for drought amelioration and management as a planning tool for Yobe State, Nigeria. Drought coping strategies have also caused environmental degradation in Yobe State. Farmers over-harvest their farms, practise deforestation and over-exploit wild animals. Several efforts to mitigate the impacts of drought by the Nigerian Government have failed, thus this research adopts a bottom-top approach to mitigate drought impacts in Yobe State. Four validated drought mitigation and management frameworks were developed for Yobe State. The frameworks were evaluated pre-use through respondent validation. State officials and farmers believed that these frameworks will reduce the impacts of drought in Yobe State. The frameworks include social, economic, environmental impact mitigation and an Integrated Drought Mitigation and Management Framework. The proposed frameworks were designed and have advocates a paradigm shift, using both proactive and reactive measures.
