Var tredje inhandlad matkasse slängs, vilket innebär att en tredjedel av all mat har producerats helt i onödan. Detta motsvarar 1,3 miljarder ton varje år - vilket uppskattas kunna mätta tre miljarder hungriga magar. För att uppnå hållbar konsumtion behöver matsvinnet halveras inom tio år. Livsmedelsproduktion skapar utsläpp av växthusgaser, luftföroreningar och bekämpningsmedel som påverkar både Nature has provided us with delicious and nutritious food for many years. It is estimated that one third of all edible food is wasted globally. This means a substantial loss of resources. Consumers are unaware of the great amount of avoidable food waste that is created from household consumption and the environmental impact it has.

En oaktsam hantering av kemikalier har länge präglat det svenska samhället. Vid utsläpp till miljön har många av dem givit upphov till ett stort antal förorenade områden, områden som idag riskerar att medföra olägenheter för människor och miljön. Genom att besvara frågor om vilka föroreningar som förekommer, i vilken mängd, deras spridningsförutsättningar samt hur människor och miljö kan exponerasIn this study, a risk assessment has been carried out at a closed fire station and a closed mechanical workshop in the Swedish municipality of Eslöv. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the activities at the sites may have caused pollution and assess how big a risk they pose to human health and the environment. The method being used to evaluate the risk is Method of Surveying Contamina

Introduction: This study attempts to optimize the choice of stationary phase for the separation of lignosulfonate lignin compounds using supercritical fluid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Background: Lignin is a potential renewable source of phenolic compounds. Lignosulfonate lignins are produced during pulping processes producing very complex mixtures, which are challenging to anal

Sustainable transitions are essential to ensure climate and land systems do not go beyond their tipping points; however, these transitions are complex, and barriers to their success are difficult to conceptualise. The Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) is the dominant framework for conceptualising how industries transition to using green innovations. Despite the effectiveness of the MLP, it has weaknes

This study uses a specifically constructed sub-national dataset on Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak cases, deaths, and CFR in order to look at the question of how important various socio-economic factors were in determining the intensity and severity of the 2013-2016 EVD outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
