An Introduction to Green Nanotechnology - Chapter 3: Biological Sources Used in Green Nanotechnology
Interface Science and Technology, Volume 28, 2019, Pages 81-111
This book chapter addresses goals 9, 12 and 15 by looking at how green nanotechnology can facilitate sustainable methods leading to reduced environmental impacts, improved conservation, and the protection of resources and human health.
#SmartME has been one of the first initiatives in Italy to realize a Smart City through the use of open technologies.
The built environment is responsible for large negative ecological impacts due in part to the vast amount of materials used in construction.
There is a metabolic rift running through our economy and culture, and it is distracting our attention from care for the biosphere.
Despite the great potential of mobile data to support the delivery of the sustainable development agenda across sub-Saharan Africa, access to the data remains a great challenge due to real or perceived barriers. In order to address gaps in timely data that provide information on the SDGs, a multistakeholder workshop was held in Nairobi, Kenya, in February 2019, contributing to SDGs 9 and 17.
Characterising microplastics based on spectroscopic measurements is one key step of many studies that analyse the fate of microplastics in the environment.
Microplastics (MP) (
Interest about interactions between microplastics and organisms is on the rise.
The quantification of micro- and nanoplastics in environmental matrices is an analytical challenge and pushes to the use of unrealistic high exposure concentrations in laboratory studies which can lea
