“…The studies indicate that active viruses have a half-life of 18 h when the ambient relative humidity is 20%, and the temperature is between 21 and 24 • C. At the same ambient temperature, increasing relative humidity to 80% reduces the life active to six hours. When the effect of sunshine hours acts, the lifespan of active viruses is again decreased to barely two minutes [12].…”

Spreading infectious illnesses such as viral meningitis, hepatitis, and cytomegalovirus among people is facilitated by spitting in public. India is more prone to transferring infectious illnesses. Recent research discovered that the new Coronavirus may also be transmitted via an infected person’s saliva. Self-collected saliva from 91.7% of patients contains COVID-19. Numerous nations have prioritized preventing individuals from spitting in open or public areas such as hospitals, parks, airports, train stations, etc. The UVC range has a greater damaging effect on microbial cells because microorganisms’ intracellular components, such as RNA, DNA, and proteins, are sensitive to UVC photon absorption. In this article, the design and construction of a solar-concentrating spittoon is attempted. At its receiver, it can create a temperature of 390 K and 176 W of heat. At this temperature, most viruses (including Coronavirus), bacteria, and pathogens are inactivated. Daily, from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., the solar-concentrating spittoon is functional. The solar-concentrating spittoon performance was best for nine hours. The receiver thermal efficiency was 80% and 20% of heat was lost to the surroundings. The overall efficiency was found to be 70%. During this time, most people spend their time outside, where this solar-powered spittoon can incinerate human cough and spit within one minute. The installation of this solar-concentrated spittoon will aid in preventing the spread of fatal dangerous diseases and cleaning the city.

“…For example, anxiety due to the perceived threat to climate change and poor environmental health led to adaptive behaviors such as climate activism to reduce the carbon footprint [23,54]. The fear of COVID-19 was found to be positively correlated with lowcarbon footprint behaviors [29][30][31]. Integrating this literature with the cognitive dissonance theory [45] and compensatory consumer behavior model [41], we suggest that this COVID-19-stress will motivate millennials to protect the environment in the hope of improving environmental health and becoming more immune to the health risks associated with the pandemic.…”

“…Several studies have indicated that the fear and stress experienced during the pandemic influenced intentions for sustainable consumption [1][2][3][4][5][29][30][31]. Because millennials are widely known for their environmental concerns/awareness [6][7][8][10][11][12][13]78,80], it is particularly important to explore how they have responded to the environmental crisis amid the pandemic through their consumption habits.…”

“…However, there is limited research on alternative ways of coping with COVID-19-stress which can reduce millennials' dependence on maladaptive practices. Although a few research studies indicated how the anxiety and stress experienced during the pandemic encouraged sustainable consumption intentions (e.g., buying environmentally friendly products) [29][30][31], there is a lack of research on how COVID-19-stress can beget intentions for sustainable apparel consumption and if that could be an effective strategy for coping with COVID-19-stress among millennials. Our study opens avenues for research in this area.…”

Based on the theoretical frameworks of cognitive dissonance theory, regulatory focus theory, and the compensatory consumer behavior model, we proposed and tested a conceptual model delineating the relationships between COVID-19-stress, commitment to the environment, and intentions for sustainable apparel consumption in terms of intentions for purchasing sustainable apparel and divesting apparel (e.g., handing down or donating apparel). Conducting an online survey (n = 312) with the national millennial population of the U.S., we found that COVID-19-stress positively influenced (i) commitment to the environment and (ii) purchase intentions for sustainable apparel; commitment to the environment positively influenced (iii) purchase intentions for sustainable apparel and (iv) intentions for divesting apparel. Although COVID-19-stress did not influence intentions for divesting apparel directly, commitment to the environment mediated the relationships between COVID-19-stress and both purchase intentions for sustainable apparel and intentions for divesting apparel. We suggest that COVID-19-stress triggered self-regulatory sustainable apparel consumption intentions due to a heightened commitment to the environment to protect the environment amid the pandemic. Based on the findings of our study, we recommend the sustainable apparel brands and marketers promote how sustainable apparel consumption can protect the environment to make the environment and human beings less susceptible to the future outbreaks of pandemics.

Efficient energy utilization stands as a linchpin for national energy security and sustainable development, particularly in developing countries. The transformative potential of big data in driving regional economic growth is pivotal for advancing the goals of sustainability and carbon neutrality. This study employs advanced Generalized Difference‐in‐Differences methods to investigate the enduring influence of establishing national Big Data Comprehensive Experimental Areas (BDCEAs) on energy utilization efficiency within the experimental zones from 2008 to 2020. Our findings underscore the significant role of BDCEAs in fostering sustainable energy practices and contributing to the global pursuit of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. Through rigorous analysis, we reveal regional variations, emphasizing the substantial impact of big data on energy utilization efficiency in specific areas, while also exploring the underlying mechanisms of industrial structure upgrading, technological innovation, and resource allocation optimization. This research enriches the understanding of factors influencing energy utilization efficiency, providing valuable insights for leveraging the digital economy to promote a greener and more sustainable future.
