Rational design of covalent triazine frameworks based on pore size and heteroatomic toward high performance supercapacitors

Yunrui Zhang et al.

Summary: A series of covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) with adjustable pore structure and rich nitrogen were prepared for supercapacitors, showing that BPY-CTF with high specific surface area, mesopores structure, and suitable nitrogen content displayed a specific capacitance. Mesopores enhance the contact area between electrode material and electrolyte, while N-doping significantly improves Faradaic pseudo-capacitance and conductivity for CTF electrode materials. This work inspires further research on developing highly efficient electrode materials for energy storage devices.

An emerging source of plastic pollution: Environmental presence of plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) debris related to COVID-19 in a metropolitan city

Justine Ammendolia et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in production, consumption, and disposal of personal protective equipment (PPE), mainly made of single-use plastic. The study conducted in the metropolitan city of Toronto, Canada found that disposable gloves were the most common PPE debris item, followed by face masks and disinfectant wipes. High densities of PPE debris were observed in grocery store parking lots and hospital districts, while lower densities were found in residential areas and recreational trails. Proper disposal methods for PPE debris should be improved through municipal efforts informed by waste pathways.

Legal obstacles for the circular economy in Thailand: Illegal dumping of recyclable hazardous industrial waste

Ashijya Otwong et al.

Summary: The circular economy is seen as a potential solution for addressing waste generation and resource depletion. In Thailand, many hazardous waste recycling projects are viewed as sources of environmental contamination, leading to health risks. Legal loopholes allow recycling facilities to avoid proper waste management through illegal dumping, leading to opposition from local communities. Recommendations have been proposed to address these critical legal issues and promote sustainable waste management.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on household disinfectant consumption behaviors and related environmental concerns: A questionnaire-based survey in China

Jie Guo et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant increase in household disinfectant consumption and usage levels in China, with chlorine-based and alcohol-based disinfectants being the most preferred products for household disinfection and hand sanitization. However, the Chinese public's environmental perceptions and practices regarding disinfectants were found to be poor, with less than half of respondents showing positive attitudes towards controlling disinfectant pollution. Targeted efforts may be needed for population groups such as females, middle-aged adults, healthcare professionals, and those with higher education levels to improve future control of disinfectant pollution in the environment.
