“…Particles include pollution, dirt, soot, smoke, and droplets. Pollutants emitted from vehicles, factories, building sites, tilled areas, unpaved roads and the burning of fossil fuels also contribute to PM in the air ( Baensch-Baltruschat et al., 2020 ). Grilling food (by burning leaves or gas grills), smoking cigarettes, and burning wood on a fireplace or stove also contribute to PM.…”

COVID-19 has heightened human suffering, undermined the economy, turned the lives of billions of people around the globe upside down, and significantly affected the health, economic, environmental and social domains. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the ecological domain, the energy sector, society and the economy and investigate the global preventive measures taken to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. This analysis unpacks the key responses to COVID-19, the efficacy of current initiatives, and summarises the lessons learnt as an update on the information available to authorities, business and industry. This review found that a 72-hour delay in the collection and disposal of waste from infected households and quarantine facilities is crucial to controlling the spread of the virus. Broad sector by sector plans for socio-economic growth as well as a robust entrepreneurship-friendly economy is needed for the business to be sustainable at the peak of the pandemic. The socio-economic crisis has reshaped investment in energy and affected the energy sector significantly with most investment activity facing disruption due to mobility restrictions. Delays in energy projects are expected to create uncertainty in the years ahead. This report will benefit governments, leaders, energy firms and customers in addressing a pandemic-like situation in the future.

“…Studies from other countries have reported retention of microplastic in WWTP of 93 to 99.9% (Carr et al, 2016;Horton et al, 2017;Mintenig et al, 2014). Up until now, no studies on microplastic particles in WWTP have specifically identified tire particles in either sediments or surface water samples (Bänsch-Baltruschat et al, 2020;Kole et al, 2017). A recent study on a WWTP in Oslo, Norway (Vogelsang et al, 2020) measured tire particles using Pyrolysis GC-MS.…”

“…No tire particles were detected in the discharged water, which indicates that this WWTP was quite effective in retaining tire particles. According to the study of Mintenig et al (2014), all microplastic particles with densities >1.2 g/cm3 should be retained in sewage sludge or sand traps (Bänsch-Baltruschat et al, 2020). As the density of tire particles is on average approximately 1.7-2.1 g/cm3 (Kayhanian et al, 2003;Snilsberg, 2008), it is likely that tire particles are also retained in the WWTP, mainly in the sludge.…”

“…Industrial areas are characterized by a higher accumulation of road dust than urban areas. In Korea, the amounts and concentrations of PTES in ne particle of RDS were much higher in industrial area than in urban areas 5,[22][23] . Given the total length of road, a huge amount of PTEs would have been accumulated in road surface.…”

“…Road infrastructure and transportation are important component of urban area and have enabled the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization. Road deposited sediments (RDS) are highly contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) by various tra c and industry related sources such as vehicular exhaust and non-exhaust sources, atmospheric deposition and surrounding soil erosion and spill of industrial raw materials during transportation [1][2][3][4][5][6] . Thus, roads are often a prominent point-source and non-point source of dissolved and sediment-associated PTEs [6][7][8][9][10] .…”

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were investigated in the different sizes of road deposited sediments (RDS) around the active smelting industry to understand their sources and to assess the pollution and ecological risk levels. The highest PTEs concentrations was shown near the raw materials import port and the smelting facilities. The fine particles of RDS showed extremely high PTEs concentrations. Zn has the highest mean concentration in the <63 mm particle size of RDS, followed by Pb>Cu>As>Cr>Ni>Cd>Hg. The PTEs concentrations of this study were the highest values compared to the soils around the smelter and the RDS in urban and industrial areas in the world. This indicates that these PTEs pollution in RDS were mainly attributed to the transportation of raw materials for the smelting industry. According to nemerow pollution index calculation, RDS at all sampling sites with particles of less than 250 mm was seriously polluted with PTEs. The ecological risk was also found to be very high in all RDS fractions and highly toxic elements such as Cd, Pb and Hg pose extremely risk. Given the total amounts PTEs in the road surface, it is necessary to apply RDS removal management plan to reduce the PTEs pollution.
