Abstract:
This research was conducted to identify the critical pollution (BOD, TN, TP) areas and to develop the priority mitigation zone for the Bagmati River pollution in the Kathmandu valley, Nepal. A GIS tool was used to define and identify the critical pollution areas and sources. Pollution source information such as population, livestock, industry and land use were collected on the basis of the individual village boundary. The industrial, land use and living pollution were aggregated by the GIS overlay analysis capability to obtain the combined pollution load within the watershed. Priority areas for the mitigation of the pollution were defined considering the pollution loading rate, distance of stream from pollution source, and political, religious, and touristic values of the area. This research noticed that Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur municipalities are the major polluting areas and living beings are the major factors of Bagmati River pollution. Delivery ratio for the watershed was found to vary from 40-69% for BOD and nitrogen but the delivery of phosphorus was exceptionally high (92% at Gaurighat and 77% at Chovar) due to cremation activity of the Hindu religion on the riverbanks. Thus, the priority areas for the mitigation of the carbonaceous and nutrient source pollution were identified. At present the land use and industry impaired a very low contribution compared to the huge pollution load from the municipalities to the river system.

Abstract:
Urban air monitoring and pollution mitigation systems are important efforts to maintain air quality in increasingly dense urban environments. This project aims to design and implement an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system that is capable of monitoring air quality and mitigating pollution automatically. This system used a Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F dust sensor to detect dust particles, a DHT22 sensor to measure temperature and humidity, and an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to detect water levels in case of flooding. Additionally, it used the SG90 servo to automatically open and close the water valve, and 5V mini water pump to spray water from the underground tank, thereby reducing air pollution levels. The implementation of this system was carried out using plastic containers separated by plywood as a water storage medium and sensor installation. Data from sensors was sent to Blynk's IoT Platform for real-time monitoring. Apart from that, this system was also integrated with Telegram to provide notifications to residents if pollution levels worsen. Hence, they can immediately take preventative action by staying at home. Test results showed that the system was able to detect changes in air quality and water levels with precises accuracy. Apart from that, this system can also carry out pollution mitigation measures automatically by spraying water when pollution levels exceed a predetermined threshold. This project is expected to contribute to improving air quality in cities and can be widely implemented in various cities with high levels of pollution.

Abstract:
Abstract Water is an important natural resource in life, and its quality decreases in meeting human needs. This happens because human activities do not care about the environment, resulting in various disasters due to water pollution. This condition occurs in several countries, including Indonesia, with abundant water quantities at sea and on land. In education, preventive action in disaster mitigation efforts is needed, especially for teenagers, to instill knowledge and concern in the new generation. A media approach in the form of comics was used in this educational effort. The comic, a popular culture product, raised the theme of mitigating water pollution disasters and was created using a popular visual approach and digital platforms. The use of comic media has yet to produce a significant impact on mitigation actions. However, this effort has been able to generate enthusiasm from teenagers because the issue of concern for water pollution is conveyed using language that is understandable and interesting for them.

Abstract:
The Nakdong river estuary in South Korea has two important functions: first, remediating water pollution from the Nakdong river; second, mitigating the risk of disaster caused by waves from the open sea. The two functions of the Nakdong river estuary have been continuously threatened due to constant development pressure. This short note tries to investigate the non-market value of the water pollution remediation and disaster risk mitigation functions. For this purpose, 1000 households throughout the country were randomly selected, and a choice experiment (CE) survey of them was implemented in September 2017. The two attributes considered here are water pollution remediation and disaster risk mitigation. An increase in the yearly income tax was also considered as an attribute. The results of applying the CE approach show that the non-market values of a 1%p increase in the water pollution remediation ability and a 1 m decrease in the wave height of the estuary are KRW 105 (USD 0.09) and KRW 501 (USD 0.44), respectively, per household per year. These figures can be used to establish and execute marine spatial planning for the estuary.

Abstract:
Purpose: This study investigates the impact of microplastic pollution on freshwater ecosystems and effective mitigation measures in Canada.
 Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
 Findings: The literature review and research findings demonstrate that microplastic pollution is significantly impacting freshwater ecosystems in Canada. Microplastics can accumulate in water, biota, and sediments, leading to water quality changes, ecological disruptions, and potential risks to human health. The study also highlights the ecological and societal impacts of microplastic pollution, such as changes in habitat structure, alterations in food webs, and potential health risks. Various mitigation measures, including source reduction, wastewater treatment, education and awareness, policy and regulatory measures, and ecosystem-based approaches, are effective in reducing microplastic pollution in freshwater environments.
 Recommendations: This study contributes to the understanding of microplastic pollution's impact on freshwater ecosystems and effective mitigation measures in Canada. The research advances knowledge in environmental science, freshwater ecology, and pollution management, providing insights into sources, pathways, and impacts of microplastic pollution in freshwater ecosystems, and the effectiveness of various mitigation measures. The findings have practical implications for policymakers, environmental managers, and stakeholders involved in freshwater management and pollution control, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary approaches, stakeholder engagement, and evidence-based policy and management strategies to mitigate the negative effects of microplastic pollution on freshwater ecosystems and safeguard their health and sustainability.

Abstract:
<em>The tannery industry in Hazaribagh, Bangladesh, has been a major source of environmental pollution for decades. The industry generates vast amounts of solid and liquid waste, which are disposed of irresponsibly, leading to pollution of soil, water, and air in the surrounding areas. This pollution not only poses serious health risks to workers in the industry and local residents but also harms the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. This paper provides a literature review of the environmental pollution caused by the tannery industry in Hazaribagh and identifies several mitigation strategies that can be implemented to reduce pollution. These strategies include adopting superior technologies that cause minimal pollution, investing in waste treatment facilities, proper disposal of solid waste, using water and chemicals in the correct quantities, and raising waste treatment plants. Implementing these strategies will help mitigate the environmental pollution caused by the tannery industry and improve the health and well-being of the people living and working in Hazaribagh.</em>

Abstract:
Turkey is a developing country where industrial and urban developments mostly occur in coastal areas. Besides the present pollution loads, newly developed tourist areas and industries, through increased input of wastes, further stress the coasts of Turkey. In this study, the state of sewerage systems, treatment plants and sea outfalls in Turkish coasts were investigated. The pollution problems should be considered differently from region to region. Development of coastal areas appeared to be partially tourist and partially industrial in nature. Because of this fact, problems from different coastal areas were discussed in different projects and solutions were recommended.

Abstract:
Soil pollution is a growing global concern, directly affecting soil health, agriculture, ecosystems, and human health. It results from various anthropogenic and natural activities, leading to the contamination of soil with toxic chemicals, waste, and pathogens. Key sources of soil pollution include industrial activities, agricultural practices, urbanization, and improper waste disposal. Pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, and pathogens have severe effects on the soil ecosystem, reducing its fertility, biodiversity, and productivity. Furthermore, soil pollution poses significant health risks, such as food contamination and water pollution, and contributes to environmental degradation. This review discusses the sources of soil pollution, the types of pollutants, their impacts on soil and human health, and potential mitigation strategies, including preventive measures, bioremediation techniques, and soil restoration practices. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for integrated efforts at local, national, and global levels to combat soil pollution for sustainable development.

Abstract:
This study examines the use of bioretention as a strategy to reduce the thermal impact associated with urban stormwater runoff in developing cold water stream watersheds. Temperature and flow data were collected during ten controlled trials at a bioretention facility located in Blacksburg, Virginia. It was determined that bioretention has the ability to reduce the temperature of thermally charged stormwater runoff received from an asphalt surface. Significant reductions in average and peak temperatures were observed. However, this facility was unable to consistently reduce the temperature below the threshold for trout health. The ability of bioretention to reduce runoff flow rates could also serve to reduce the thermal impact. Based on these results it was concluded that bioretention appears to have the capability to reduce the thermal impact of urban stormwater runoff on cold water stream ecosystems.<br>Master of Science

Abstract:
A range of interventions are available to influence the uptake of farm practices which mitigate water pollution. Deciding which are the most appropriate for particular mitigation measures poses a challenge to policy makers. Whilst many measures remain voluntary, implementation will only be effective with the co-operation of stakeholders and evidence regarding the factors influencing measure uptake is crucial to aid policy design. The research conducted for this PhD explored the factors influencing farmer adoption of water pollution mitigation measures through three related surveys. Over two hundred farmers and farm advisors participated in interviews from three contrasting regions of England: the grassland dominated North West; the arable dominated East Anglia and the mixed and dairy farming of the South West. Results from the two farmer surveys provided a baseline of current agricultural practices, insights regarding farmer attitudes to the adoption of other mitigation measures in the future and understanding of the motivations and barriers to the adoption of specific measures. Results from the farm advisor interviews revealed the types of mitigation measures recommended by various advisors, which mechanisms (regulatory advice, financial incentives, signposting or voluntary approach) were being used to influence the uptake of measures, and whether differences occurred between sources of advice. The results illustrate the great diversity amongst the farming community, the range of factors influencing mitigation measure uptake and the differing complexities of farmers’ decisions to change their behaviour. Different combinations of interventions are required not only for each mitigation measures but also within the different regions surveyed. The importance of advice is illustrated but knowing which advisors are most suitable to deliver information and how is highlighted as being essential for policy design. Policy recommendations are provided as to what needs to change to influence adoption of specific mitigation measures to improve catchment management and advice provision.

Abstract:
Pollution from nonpoint sources is a leading cause of receiving water quality impairment. The largest source of nonpoint pollution is storm water runoff, which includes pollutants such as sediment, nutrients, metals, microorganisms, and organic compounds. Sediment is of particular importance because many pollutants are readily 5 adsorbed onto particles. In the Lake Tahoe basin, sediment is also significant because of its direct contribution to clarity attenuation. The most prudent control measure for mitigating sediment flux in the Lake Tahoe basin is infiltration, which captures runoff volume, allowing it to percolate into the soil and enter groundwater. All residential parcels in the Lake Tahoe basin are required to have an on-site infiltration system. These systems require rigorous maintenance to maintain full function. Negligence can lead to premature clogging from debris and accumulated sediment, and the cost of rehabilitating or replacing the system can be significant to homeowners. It is mandatory for a sediment trapping device to be installed to pretreat runoff discharged into the infiltration system; however, there is limited infomation regarding sediment trapping devices designed for residential use. The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of an on-site stormwater treatment device in removing sediment from simulated stormwater runoff. The sediment trapping device consists of removable, porous 200-micron nylon inserts for filtration and is designed to mitigate premature clogging infiltrative runoff control measures. Laboratory analysis of a full scale device model was performed. Removal efficiency, effluent concentration, and bulk solids removal were assessed for perfomance evaluation. The device demonstrated a median removal efficiency from grab samples of 74%, median total suspended solids effluent concentration of 72 mg/L, and removed 89% of the total solids introduced into the system. Economic and sustainability implications of the device were also assessed.

Abstract:
This thesis details methodology to estimate urban stormwater quality based on a set of easy to measure physico-chemical parameters. These parameters can be used as surrogate parameters to estimate other key water quality parameters. The key pollutants considered in this study are nitrogen compounds, phosphorus compounds and solids. The use of surrogate parameter relationships to evaluate urban stormwater quality will reduce the cost of monitoring and so that scientists will have added capability to generate a large amount of data for more rigorous analysis of key urban stormwater quality processes, namely, pollutant build-up and wash-off. This in turn will assist in the development of more stringent stormwater quality mitigation strategies. The research methodology was based on a series of field investigations, laboratory testing and data analysis. Field investigations were conducted to collect pollutant build-up and wash-off samples from residential roads and roof surfaces. Past research has identified that these impervious surfaces are the primary pollutant sources to urban stormwater runoff. A specially designed vacuum system and rainfall simulator were used in the collection of pollutant build-up and wash-off samples. The collected samples were tested for a range of physico-chemical parameters. Data analysis was conducted using both univariate and multivariate data analysis techniques. Analysis of build-up samples showed that pollutant loads accumulated on road surfaces are higher compared to the pollutant loads on roof surfaces. Furthermore, it was found that the fraction of solids smaller than 150 ìm is the most polluted particle size fraction in solids build-up on both roads and roof surfaces. The analysis of wash-off data confirmed that the simulated wash-off process adopted for this research agrees well with the general understanding of the wash-off process on urban impervious surfaces. The observed pollutant concentrations in wash-off from road surfaces were different to pollutant concentrations in wash-off from roof surfaces. Therefore, firstly, the identification of surrogate parameters was undertaken separately for roads and roof surfaces. Secondly, a common set of surrogate parameter relationships were identified for both surfaces together to evaluate urban stormwater quality. Surrogate parameters were identified for nitrogen, phosphorus and solids separately. Electrical conductivity (EC), total organic carbon (TOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), total solids (TS) and turbidity (TTU) were selected as the relatively easy to measure parameters. Consequently, surrogate parameters for nitrogen and phosphorus were identified from the set of easy to measure parameters for both road surfaces and roof surfaces. Additionally, surrogate parameters for TSS, TDS and TS which are key indicators of solids were obtained from EC and TTU which can be direct field measurements. The regression relationships which were developed for surrogate parameters and key parameter of interest were of a similar format for road and roof surfaces, namely it was in the form of simple linear regression equations. The identified relationships for road surfaces were DTN-TDS:DOC, TP-TS:TOC, TSS-TTU, TDS-EC and TSTTU: EC. The identified relationships for roof surfaces were DTN-TDS and TSTTU: EC. Some of the relationships developed had a higher confidence interval whilst others had a relatively low confidence interval. The relationships obtained for DTN-TDS, DTN-DOC, TP-TS and TS-EC for road surfaces demonstrated good near site portability potential. Currently, best management practices are focussed on providing treatment measures for stormwater runoff at catchment outlets where separation of road and roof runoff is not found. In this context, it is important to find a common set of surrogate parameter relationships for road surfaces and roof surfaces to evaluate urban stormwater quality. Consequently DTN-TDS, TS-EC and TS-TTU relationships were identified as the common relationships which are capable of providing measurements of DTN and TS irrespective of the surface type.

Full text
Abstract:
Pollution spills are a serious threat to rivers causing fish kills, and lasting damage to the biological systems of rivers. At present financial penalties are used to deter such incidents but no mitigation system exists. A multiple method approach involving a hydrological and water chemistry based field study, a flume tank experiment, a computer fluid dynamics model and a 1D flow model was under taken to examine the feasibility of using a wave of water released from a reservoir to dilute pollution spills. Nine waves were released from reservoirs on three different catchments. Water quality was measured downstream of sewage treatment works and the progress of the wave was tracked down the river with gauges. Additionally in one experiment a slug of rhodamine dye was released into the river ahead of a wave. To understand the impact of a wave on mixing processes within the water column, in particular longitudinal dispersion, a series of flume tank and computer fluid dynamics experiments were ran. In both experiment sets a wave was released from one end of a tank and a slug of either rhodamine dye, or tracked particles was released mid tank, the interaction between the wave and the dye was then captured as footage and analysed. Across the three sets of experiments waves were found to move significantly faster than the baseflow with mean velocities ranging between 0.86ms-1 1.63ms-1. In the Holme River a dye slug would be caught within 3 hours and 46 minutes. Catch up times and response times were both demonstrated with a dye test and estimated with a 1D model providing management focused results previously unreported in the literature. Dilution of water quality parameters including NH4 and conductivity was recorded during wave passage at the sewage treat works outflows in the majority of experiments. Peak dilutions of 59% for NH4 and 58% for conductivity were recorded. An increase in longitudinal dispersion with wave magnitude was observed in the computer fluid dynamics model but unclear within the flume tank.

Abstract:
Water quality from surface sources is fast deteriorating due to pollution from organic compounds. Among the organic compounds are chlorophenols, which are described as priority pollutants because of their detrimental effects. One way of removing them from water is by using membranes. However direct removal of chlorophenols using membranes is limited due to the inherent problem of membrane fouling. The thesis describes fabrication of thin film composite membranes modified with Ag-TiO2 and Ag-ZnO for enhancing filtration properties of the membranes for removal of 2-CP and 2,4-DCP and improving the antifouling properties of the modified membranes. Chlorophenols, 2- CP, 2,4-DCP and 2, 4, 6-TCP were determined from Vaal and Klip River using SPE- HLPC method. The SPE - HPLC method was validated by determining breakthrough volume, repeatability, reproducibility, linearity, MDL and LOQ. Nanoparticles (NPs), Ag, ZnO and TiO2 and nanocomposites (NCs), Ag-TiO2 and Ag-ZnO were synthesized using precipitation method and chemical reduction for Ag. The NPs and NCs were characterised using UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, SEM and EDX. The synthesised NPs and NCS were evaluated for photocatalytic degradation of 2-CP and 2,4-DCP, antimicrobial activity against E.coli. and toxicity against Daphnia magna. Nanocomposites were then embedded into the PA thin film membrane surface using interfacial polymerisation and PES as a support material to produce the antifouling Ag-TiO2/PA-TFC and Ag-ZnO/PA-TFC membranes. The control PATFC membrane was prepared with no added NCs to the membrane. The membranes were characterised using ATR-FTIR, contact angle, SEM and AFM. The performance of the membranes was tested using permeation flux (using pure water and 2-CP / 2,4-DCP solutions as feed) against the neat PA-TFC membrane. Membranes were further tested for rejection of 2- CP and 2, 4 – DCP, antifouling properties and flux recoveries. The stability of the antifouling properties of the membrane was evaluated through silver release test. The performance of the membranes was tested using real water samples from Vaal and Klip Rivers. The SPE-HPLC method was repeatable, reproducible with % RSD less than 5%. Linearity range of (0.1-50 µg/ L) and recoveries of spiked water samples of more than 97% for 2-CP and 2,4-DCP but lower at 64 and 75% for 2.4.6-TCP were achieved. The Ag, TiO2 and ZnO NPs showed characteristic peaks of NPs with UV-Vis. The absorption peaks were all blue shifted due to quantum confinements. The crystalline structures were confirmed as face centred cubic, anatase and hexagonal wurzite for Ag, TiO2 and ZnO respectively. The morphology as observed from SEM showed spherically shaped nanoparticles with average sizes of 68.25 ± 4.7 and 50.92 ± 3.39 nm for Ag and TiO2 respectively. The ZnO NPs were rod -like shaped with average length = 603 nm ± 50.4 and a width = 82.92 ± 5. 40nm. Successful incorporation of silver into the TiO2 and ZnO structures was confirmed by elemental analysis, EDX. From SEM images, silver particles were distributed around TiO2 particles and ZnO rods. The presence of silver showed a remarkable improvement in photodegradation of 2-CP and 2,4-DCP from less than 40% to 86% with 2, 4- DCP. Silver modified TiO2 and ZnO showed antibacterial activity against E.coli. with minimum concentration of inhibition as low as 1.56 mg/L for both Ag-ZnO (5) and Ag-TiO2 (5). Silver was more toxic against Daphnia magna than Ag-ZnO (5) and AgTiO2 (5). The polyamide layer was confirmed by the presence of the amide I peak at 1650 cm1 and 1670 cm-1 in the Ag-TiO2/ PA-TFC and Ag-ZnO/ PA-TFC membranes. The appearance of NCs particles spread across the surface of the thin layer of the membranes as observed from surface SEM images confirming their incorporation into the PA layer. The presence of the NCs in the membranes improved water flux, water permeation, rejection of 2- CP, and 2,4-DCP, antifouling properties of the membranes and flux recoveries of more than 93 % was achieved. Silver release test revealed that Ag-ZnO/PA-TFC membrane performed better than AgTiO2/PA-TFC membrane because of the steady release of silver, which shows long lasting antifouling properties. When applied to real water samples from Vaal and Klip River, the prepared membranes showed better antifouling properties than the neat PA-TFC membrane

Abstract:
Water resources are crucial in any region's overall natural resource complex. This research focuses on addressing these pollution issues through water treatment processes. The primary objective of this study was to examine the adsorption of phosphates using both natural and synthetic adsorbents, particularly aluminosilicates. Under static and dynamic conditions, the research assessed the sorption characteristics of natural zeolite, specifically clinoptilolite obtained from the Sokyrnytsia mineral deposits. Results indicated that the adsorption of phosphates is more effective in acidic environments. It was observed that clinoptilolite exhibits a higher adsorption capacity for unsubstituted phosphates, which diminishes when alkali metal ions replace orthophosphoric acid. Additionally, the study highlighted the significant influence of pH levels on the sorption properties of clinoptilolite, especially about P₂O₅. The kinetic coefficients of the adsorption process were determined using experimental data and theoretical frameworks. Furthermore, mathematical modelling was employed to describe the adsorption dynamics of the active components by granular sorbents, effectively capturing the transient nature of diffusive-kinetic processes in complex, multicomponent systems. This research deepens our understanding of phosphate adsorption mechanisms. It provides valuable insights into optimising water treatment strategies using natural adsorbents, which could play a critical role in mitigating the effects of water pollution in the region. Zeolites derived from fly ash produced by the Dobrotvir thermal power plant have been synthesised and modified to enhance their properties. This study focuses on the characteristics of these zeolites, with a particular emphasis on thermogravimetric analysis, to understand their stability and performance under varying conditions. The adsorption capabilities of the natural zeolite were tested against common pollutants found in wastewater from meat-processing plants, specifically targeting ammonium and phosphate contaminants. Experimental data allowed for determining equilibrium adsorption capacities and corresponding isotherms were constructed at a standard temperature of 20°C. The results indicate that zeolite adsorbs phosphates more effectively than ammonia nitrogen. Further analysis revealed that clinoptilolite's adsorption capacity is higher when interacting with single-component systems but decreases when it simultaneously adsorbs two different substances from the solution. This decrease suggests competitive adsorption dynamics when multiple contaminants are present. Given the finite availability of natural zeolite resources, this research highlights the importance of synthesising synthetic zeolites as a sustainable alternative.

Abstract:
Understanding soil moisture conditions in a watershed is of great importance in terms of water use, water related hazard mitigation and water conservation. In this study the comparison between remotely sensed soil moisture and soil moisture estimated from the SHETRAN hydrological model was performed for the Jičinka River catchment (75.9 km2) in the Czech Republic. Due to a relatively coarse spatial resolution of the satellite-derived soil moisture data, the satellite soil moisture data were downscaled to the grid cell size of the SHETRAN model, according to the known soil hydraulic properties within the catchment. The good correlation between the remotely sensed and hydrological model soil moisture data was obtained. It was concluded that their joint use can contribute to obtaining more reliable and more precise information about changes in soil moisture within the catchment

Abstract:
Nitrogen pollution contributes to climate change, acid rain and eutrophication. The present study evaluates the degree of nitrogen contamination of air, surface and ground waters in Bulgaria with reference to the 2021 EU Action Plan 'Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil' as well as the relevant international and national regulations in the field. The analysis uses data from the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment and Water, Ministry of Agriculture, the European Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research � EDGAR, and FAO. The main sources of nitrogen pollution are considered with special attention to the mineral fertilizers applied to soils in agriculture. Numerical experiments implemented with the mathematical model WAVE identified rational fertilization rates, achieving permissible nitrogen pollution of the atmosphere and groundwater at good crop yields. The methodology can be applied for recommendation of good agricultural practices in order to preserve the ecological balance and optimize the economic costs of mineral fertilizers, especially in the current situation of their prices sharp increase.

Abstract:
The coordination of marine waters protection and joint reduction of their pollution is one of the major world challenges. In turn, on a national level, the governments have to assess quantities and types of water pollutants in their countries as a part of implementing the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD)1 . There are a number of scientific studies that have been conducted in Europe and outside showing that the most marine pollution comes from land based sources, and river watersheds are among them. It is also anticipated that in the absence of mitigation measures any region with large rivers can be considered as a substantial contributor to marine pollution. However, the scale of such contribution, along with the size and distribution of the pollutants, remains to be systematically quantified. Such quantification will aid in mapping both sources and amounts of river systems’ pollutants, thus providing an additional knowledge base for the MSFD implementation in terms of their emissions into the marine environment on the whole.

Full text
Abstract:
Microfibre pollution has emerged as a global conservation and public health concern, prompting a wave of research related to its source, transport, fate and effects, as well as mitigation strategies. This report provides support for the Government of Canada in decision-making on microfibres, by summarizing important elements of the topic from the scientific literature, stakeholder consultations and cross-sector activities. The goal herein is to characterize the primary sources, discharge mechanisms and environmental fate of microfibre pollution in Canada, review available methodologies and definitions, list candidate solution strategies for Canadian application, and review global advances in policy and industry. Many sources and types of microfibres exist, but current evidence suggests that environmental microfibre contamination originates largely from the textile sector, with releases arising during manufacturing, trade and laundry processes. Two broad categories of textiles in this sector are relevant to the characterisation of sources, applications and processes that result in microfibre pollution in Canada, namely conventional (clothing) and technical textiles. We focus herein on conventional textiles, as a significant, but not exclusive, source of microfibres to the Canadian environment. Additional types of products that contribute microfibres to the environment are those used in the fishing, civil engineering, medical, personal care and construction sectors, and consumer products such as cigarettes. The underlying polymers used in these products can be both synthetic and natural, with both being the focus of this report. Our awareness of microfibre pollution grew out of the broader research on microplastics. This research demonstrates that microfibres, often the dominant type of microplastics, are pervasive in the environment, wildlife and drinking water. In Canada, microfibres account for approximately 80 per cent of the microplastic particles reported across water, soil, biota, air, and wastewater samples. While Canadian researchers will continue to benefit from new approaches to the sampling, detection and identification of microfibres and microplastics in the environment, having comparable data among studies and monitoring programs is crucial. Agreed-upon Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols are needed by producers, researchers, natural resource managers, consultants and regulators. This report assesses progress in the important, but at times challenging developments in the standardization and harmonization of microfibre methods, and provides guidance for stakeholders on best scientific and technical practices and the latest measurement methods. Microfibre pollution arising from textiles is a multifaceted environmental challenge that cannot be effectively mitigated through technical solutions alone. Meaningful and lasting reductions in microfibre pollution will require a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnected role of the textile value chain and the ways in which microfibres contaminate the environment. Such a system prioritizes waste reduction and waste management at all stages. Achieving a demonstrable reduction in microfibre pollution in the environment necessitates a re-evaluation and transformation of how textiles are designed, produced, used, and disposed of, ensuring sustainability is embedded at every stage. While domestic circumstances in Canada offer the most immediate regulatory and policy solution opportunities, a dual approach that helps to also capture the international supply chain is critical to the success of efforts to curtail microfibre pollution in the Canadian environment. Microfibre pollution is but one – albeit important – environmental impact associated with the textile sector. We therefore touch herein on additional impacts that may be considered so as to maximize sustainability aims and the protection of human health. A systems change approach will allow Canada to achieve wider environmental goals around the textile sector, such as reducing plastic and microfibre pollution, conserving water and energy resources, reducing the release of potentially harmful dyes and additives, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately minimizing the overall ecological footprint of our clothing choices.

Abstract:
Naucalpan shares critical sustainability challenges with Mexico City due to geographic proximity, notably those related to transport. Furthermore, deindustrialization, lack of integrated urban planning and climate change exacerbate everyday problems in the municipality, including air and water pollution, poor waste management, inequality and poverty. Better understanding the links between these issues could inspire transformative climate action at the local level. A strategic long-term vision for a more sustainable Naucalpan could build upon existing multilevel collaboration agreements and transnational partnerships. Vertical and horizontal integration and formalization of climate change mitigation and adaptation programs and projects could help the municipality to bridge fragmented climate agendas, sectoral development projects and short-term administrations. Naucalpan residents are increasingly recognizing socio-environmental challenges and conflicts at the local level, as well as the shortcomings of the institutionalized channels for citizen participation. As a result, different informal spaces for citizens to voice their opinions regarding government decisions and projects are emerging in the municipality. Addressing significant gaps in municipal data, knowledge and capacity regarding climate change is critical to accelerate a transformation towards sustainability in Naucalpan. Furthermore, existing community-led initiatives could be leveraged to anchor climate action and ensure buy-in from different actors.

Abstract:
The new EU strategy on adaptation to climate change highlights the urgency of adaptation measures while bringing forth adaptation as vitally important as a response to climate change as mitigation. In order to provide information on how adaptation to climate change has been promoted in Finland and what calls for attention next, we have compiled a comprehensive information package focusing on the following themes: adaptation policy, impacts of climate change including economic impacts, regional adaptation strategies, climate and flood risks in regions and sea areas, and the availability of scientific data. This report consists of two parts. Part 1 of the report examines the work carried out on adaptation in Finland and internationally since 2005, emphasising the directions and priorities of recent research results. The possibilities of adaptation governance are examined through examples, such as how adaptations steering is organised in of the United Kingdom. We also examine other examples and describe the Canadian Climate Change Adaptation Platform (CCAP) model. We apply current information to describe the economic impacts of climate change and highlight the related needs for further information. With regard to regional climate strategy work, we examine the status of adaptation plans by region and the status of the Sámi in national adaptation work. In part 2 of the report, we have collected information on the temporal and local impacts of climate change and compiled extensive tables on changes in weather, climate and marine factors for each of Finland's current regions, the autonomous Åland Islands and five sea areas, the eastern Gulf of Finland, the western Gulf of Finland, the Archipelago Sea, the Bothnian Sea and the Bay of Bothnia. As regards changes in weather and climate factors, the changes already observed in 1991-2020 are examined compared to 1981-2010 and future changes until 2050 are described. For weather and climate factors, we examine average temperature, precipitation, thermal season duration, highest and lowest temperatures per day, the number of frost days, the depth and prevalence of snow, the intensity of heavy rainfall, relative humidity, wind speed, and the amount of frost per season (winter, spring, summer, autumn). Flood risks, i.e. water system floods, run-off water floods and sea water floods, are discussed from the perspective of catchment areas by region. The impacts of floods on the sea in terms of pollution are also assessed by sea area, especially for coastal areas. With regard to marine change factors, we examine surface temperature, salinity, medium water level, sea flood risk, waves, and sea ice. We also describe combined risks towards sea areas. With this report, we demonstrate what is known about climate change adaptation, what is not, and what calls for particular attention. The results can be utilised to strengthen Finland's climate policy so that the implementation of climate change adaptation is strengthened alongside climate change mitigation efforts. In practice, the report serves the reform of the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan and the development of steering measures for adaptation to climate change both nationally and regionally. Due to its scale, the report also serves e.g. the United Nations’ aim of protecting marine life in the Baltic Sea and the national implementation of the EU strategy for adaptation to climate change. As a whole, the implementation of adaptation policy in Finland must be speeded up swiftly in order to achieve the objectives set and ensure sufficient progress in adaptation in different sectors. The development of binding regulation and the systematic evaluation, monitoring and support of voluntary measures play a key role.

Jones, David, Roy Cook, John Sovell, et al. Natural resource condition assessment: Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. National Park Service, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/2301822.

Full text
Abstract:
The National Park Service (NPS) Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) Program administered by the NPS Water Resources Division evaluates current conditions for important natural resources and resource indicators using primarily existing information and data. NRCAs also report on trends in resource condition, when possible, identify critical data gaps, and characterize a general level of confidence for study findings. This NRCA complements previous scientific endeavors, is multi-disciplinary in scope, employs a hierarchical indicator framework, identifies and develops reference conditions/values for comparison against current conditions, and emphasizes spatial evaluation of conditions where possible. Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial (LIBO) was authorized by an act of Congress on February 19, 1962, (Public Law 87-407) to preserve the site associated with the boyhood and family of President Abraham Lincoln, including a portion of the original Tom Lincoln farm and the nearby gravesite of Nancy Hanks Lincoln. The 200-acre memorial commemorates the pioneer farm where Abraham Lincoln lived from the age of 7 to 21. The NRCA for LIBO employed a scoping process involving Colorado State University, LIBO and other NPS staffs to establish the NRCA framework, identify important park resources, and gather existing information and data. Indicators and measures for each resource were then identified and evaluated. Data and information were analyzed and synthesized to provide summaries and address condition, trend and confidence using a standardized but flexible framework. A total of nine focal resources were examined: four addressing system and human dimensions, one addressing chemical and physical attributes, and four addressing biological attributes. The quality and currentness of data used for the evaluation varied by resource. Landscape context ? system and human dimensions included land cover and land use, natural night skies, soundscape, and climate change. Climate change and land cover/land use were not assigned a condition or trend?they provide important context to the memorial and many natural resources and can be stressors. Some of the land cover and land use-related stressors at LIBO and in the larger region are related to the development of rural land and increases in population/housing over time. The trend in land development, coupled with the lack of significantly sized and linked protected areas, presents significant challenges to the conservation of natural resources of LIBO to also include natural night skies, natural sounds and scenery. Climate change is happening and is affecting resources, but is not considered good or bad per se. The information synthesized in that section is useful in examining potential trends in the vulnerability of sensitive resources and broad habitat types such as forests. Night skies and soundscapes, significantly altered by disturbance due to traffic, development and urbanization, warrant significant and moderate concern, respectively, and appear to be in decline. Air quality was the sole resource supporting chemical and physical environment at the memorial. The condition of air quality can affect human dimensions of the park such as visibility and scenery as well as biological components such as the effect of ozone levels on vegetation health. Air quality warrants significant concern and is largely impacted by historical and current land uses outside the memorial boundary. The floral biological component was examined by assessing native species composition, Mean Coefficient of Conservation, Floristic Quality Assessment Index, invasive exotic plants, forest pests and disease, and forest vulnerability to climate change. Vegetation resources at LIBO have been influenced by historical land uses that have changed the species composition and age structure of these communities. Although large tracts of forests can be found surrounding the park, the majority of forested areas are fragmented, and few areas within and around LIBO exhibit late-successional or old-growth characteristics. Vegetation communities at LIBO have a long history of being impacted by a variety of stressors and threats including noxious and invasive weeds, diseases and insect pests; compounding effects of climate change, air pollution, acid rain/atmospheric chemistry, and past land uses; and impacts associated with overabundant white-tail deer populations. These stressors and threats have collectively shaped and continue to impact plant community condition and ecological succession. The sole metric in good condition was native species composition, while all other indicators and metrics warranted either moderate or significant concern. The faunal biological components examined included birds, herptiles, and mammals. Birds (unchanging trend) and herptiles (no trend determined) warrant moderate concern, while mammal populations warrant significant concern (no trend determined). The confidence of both herptiles and mammals was low due to length of time since data were last collected. Current forest structure within and surrounding LIBO generally reflects the historical overstory composition but changes in the hardwood forest at LIBO and the surrounding area have resulted in declines in the avian fauna of the region since the 1970s. The decline in woodland bird populations has been caused by multiple factors including the conversion of hardwood forest to other land cover types, habitat fragmentation, and increasing human population growth. The identification of data gaps during the course of the assessment is an important NRCA outcome. Resource-specific details are presented in each resource section. In some cases, significant data gaps contributed to the resource not being evaluated or low confidence in the condition or trend being assigned to a resource. Primary data gaps and uncertainties encountered were lack of recent survey data, uncertainties regarding reference conditions, availability of consistent long-term data, and the need for more robust or sensitive sampling designs. Impacts associated with development outside the park will continue to stress some resources. Regionally, the direct and indirect effects of climate change are likely but specific outcomes are uncertain. Nonetheless, within the past several decades, some progress has been made toward restoring the quality of natural resources within the park, most notably the forested environments. Regional and park-specific mitigation and adaptation strategies are needed to maintain or improve the condition of some resources over time. Success will require acknowledging a ?dynamic change context? that manages widespread and volatile problems while confronting uncertainties, managing natural and cultural resources simultaneously and interdependently, developing disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge, and establishing connectivity across broad landscapes beyond park borders.
