National environmental accounting of EU countries: useful experience for UkraineMykola Shlapak
The article provides the overview of environmental economic accounting development in EU countries, including first studies on the 1970s and adoption of European strategy for environmental accounting in 2003. The procedures of environmental accounting development foreseeing analysis of available statistical data, elaboration of methodologies, guidelines and tables for data collection, execution of pilot projects and further legal adoption of the procedures were described. Priority environmental accounts developed in EU countries, such as physical and monetary resource flows accounts, air emission accounts and economic accounts (eco-taxes, subsidies, environmental industry), fit well to the priorities of Ukrainian environmental policy and could be a basis for development of the system of environmental economic accounts in Ukraine. The following specific account types were defined as priority for Ukraine: air emission accounts, energy accounts, water accounts, and environmental expenditures accounts.
Green GDP as an indicator of environmental cost of economic growth in UkraineMykola Shlapak
The article provides the results of the environmental adjustment of the traditional macroeconomic indicators for Ukraine taking into account depletion of natural capital, environmental degradation due to atmospheric pollution and governmental expenditures on environmental protection. For the first time the calculation of “Green GDP” and environmentally adjusted net domestic product (NDP) for Ukraine has been elaborated for the period 2001-2010. Depletion of natural capital has been estimated based on the official data on the net operational income and specific taxes of the extraction industry of Ukraine and applying the Hartwick's rule on the reinvestment of the resource rent. Environmental degradation due to atmospheric pollution has been estimated based on the results of the research on the economic cost of pollution from thermal power stations in Ukraine. The general conclusion is that the economic growth of Ukraine is significantly dependent on natural capital and has substantial environmental drawbacks.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

4. Covenant of Mayors for Climate
and Energy
The Covenant of Mayors is the world's largest movement
for local climate and energy actions.
Cities develop and implement sustainable energy and
climate action plans to reduce carbon emissions on their
territories by 30-40%
5. Personal Impact on Climate
On average, every person is
responsible for the emissions of 5-
15 tonnes of CO2, as a result of
using power, heat, transport and
other goods and services.
Such emissions are called Carbon
Footprint.
Every person can influence
around half of the volume.
Nearly everyone is capable of
reducing 500 kg of СО2 emissions
per year.
Picture from the book “Changing the
world through games: instructions on
climate change eco-games”
6. How Climate Drops App Works?
Climate-friendly actions are tracked by the App
and converted into digital points, called Drops (1
Drop = 1 kg of СО2 not emitted into the
atmosphere as a result of the climate-friendly
actions).
App’s users exchange Drops for discounts,
goods and services of the App’s Partners.
7. Climate-Friendly Actions
The App tracks and rewards the
following actions:
➢ biking;
➢ planting trees;
➢ household waste recycling (used
paper, glass, plastic, batteries) and
food waste composting;
➢ buildings’ energy savings;
➢ generation of green electricity.
9. Biking
Using bike as an alternative to ‘traditional’ transportation
vehicles reduces carbon emissions in the result of avoiding the
combustion of diesel and gasoline.
Every 4.3 kilometers by bike avoid 1 kg of CO2 emissions.
When biking, one must strictly follow traffic rules.
10. Biking Rules
To cross the road at crossroads is allowed only by walking and
moving the bike aside.
Bikers must give preparatory signals before doing any important
bike maneuvers.
Biking on roads without
special biking tracks is
prohibited to individuals
under 14 years old.
Biking on general road is
prohibited if there is a
dedicated bike track nearby
Biking should be performed
one by one; side by side
biking is prohibited
11. Climate Drops for Biking
Info on bike tracks is gathered
automatically through embedded GPS.
Artificial Intelligence analyses tacks and
confirms the very bike use.
After the positive track analysis the Drops automatically enter the
wallet of the user.
Info on track’s distance, speed, root, and the number of Drops
issued is saved at Map Section.
1 Drop is issued for biking every 4.3. kilometers.
13. How Trees Reduce Carbon
Emissions?
• Trees absorb CO2 along photosynthesis and accumulate it in
biomass reducing the gas volumes in the atmosphere;
• In addition, trees in cities make temperature lower by
providing additional shadow;
• Shadow prevents surfaces from heating as well as reduces
the need for cooling.
14. How much СО2 is Absorbed by Trees?
As a rule, CO2 emissions by trees are evaluated per hectare of
forest/tree plantations.
In Ukraine, the most widespread tree plantations (comprising
pine, oak, spruce, beech, birch, alder) on average absorb 7
tonnes of СО2 per hectare per year.
The density of the forest significantly decrease with age, however
2500 of trees per hectare could be used as an estimate.
Thus, 1 tree in Ukraine could adsorb
about 3 kg of СО2 per year.
Large trees, in particular, on tropical
plantations could adsorb from 20 to 200
and more kg of СО2 per year.

15. Interesting Facts
Based on the analysis of satellite images Kyiv was recognized to
be the greenest city in Europe among the cities with more then 2
million of residents
Surface temperature in the districts with low rate of green areas
is 4 degrees higher than in the greenest districts
Tree shading could reduce electricity consumption for cooling
in buildings by 15-50%
16. Advices
For planting select the trees, which are most favorable for
climate:
the largest shading and cooling effect is ensured by
chestnut and acacia, which are also the most resilient to
high temperatures;
plant trees near southern and southern-east walls of the
buildings;
pine, oak, spruce, beech, birch, alder ensure largest СО2
absorption
Get advice from the specialists about the
optimal tree species, as well as planting time
and rules for your city.

19. Waste and Climate
Energy resources are used for the production of goods and
packaging, which often become waste, leading to increased
greenhouse gases emissions.
Organic waste (paper, food waste, clothes and textile, etc.)
decay at landfills and emit methane, which has high global
warming potential (25 times higher than CO2).
In Ukraine, 94% of all waste
is landfilled. Methane
emissions are growing and
constitute 329 000 tonnes
per year – almost 4% of total
greenhouse gases
emissions.
Methane emissions in Ukraine in 1990-2016, 1000 t
20. How carbon emissions are reduced?
Production of new materials from recycled materials requires
less energy than the production from virgin resources (e.g. oil
refinery products for plastic or cellulose for paper).
Some recycled materials, like glass, after
cleaning could be re-used, which
significantly reduces energy
consumption.
Recycling of paper and composting of
organic waste also allows avoiding
methane emissions during waste decay
at landfills.

buildings.
Greenhouse gases are emitted during heat energy generation and
generation of electricity used for lightening, cooling and
appliances.
82% of buildings’ global energy demand is covered by fossil fuels.
To avoid negative impact on climate energy consumption in
buildings should be reduced by 30% (per square meter).
It is also important to increase the share of renewable energy
sources in energy supply for buildings.
35. Energy Savings in Buildings
Energy saving measures reduce carbon emissions due to
electricity and natural gas savings;
Each Gkal of heat energy saved reduce greenhouse gases
emissions by 333 kg; thus, generating 333 drops in the app;
Each kWh of electricity saved reduce emissions by 1.2 kg – the
app issues 1.2 drops.
36. Nearly-zero energy buildings
There are growing number of examples of buildings with nearly zero
greenhouse gases emissions levels in the world.
Energy efficient materials and equipment allow minimizing energy
demand, while renewable energy sources allow energy generation
without negative impact on the climate.
