Researchers from China found that big solar power plants have a positive positive impact on the ecological environment of desert areas. Their testing was conducted at a 1 GW solar park located in China’s northeastern Qinghai province. A research team led by scientists from China’s Xi’an University of Technology has assessed the ecological and environmental effects of large-scale PV development in desert areas. As a case study, they evaluated the on-site (WPS) effect of the Qinghai Gonghe Photovoltaic Park, a massive 1 GW installation located in a typical alpine arid desert in Talatan, in China's northeastern Qinghai province. The WPS was compared to transitional zone (TPS) and off-site (OPS) areas to control the findings. Their analysis was based on the Driving-Pressure-Status-Impact-Response (DPSIR) model, which is recommended by the European Environment Agency (EEA). This framework breaks down environmental issues into five components, as mentioned in its name. Driving forces re...

  The Milky Way is the most precious daughter; The Earth is the only world with fresh breath. The world is a universal entity that has similar owners for every molecule. These tiny molecules create a vast environment filled with fantasies and miracles. The atmosphere is a precious surrounding that includes a green background and all human-made things: mental, psychological, physical, and genetic well-being depends on both exogenic and endogenic stimuli, which can be identified as health. However, every year, we as humans on Earth celebrate World Environmental Health Day on the 26th of September, since 2011, under a specific theme that matches the year’s most recognized health and environmental problem. The International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH) has been the guardian of this day since 2011, highlighting the importance of caring for environmental health. Each year, the IFEH stands for a unique theme. The last time, it was ‘Strengthening Environmental Health Systems f...

                          Finding could lead to bioengineering solutions to clean up plastic waste Researchers have long observed that a common family of environmental bacteria, Comamonadacae , grow on plastics littered throughout urban rivers and wastewater systems. But what, exactly, these bacteria are doing has remained a mystery. Now, Northwestern -led researchers have discovered how cells of a Comamonas bacterium are breaking down plastic for food. First, they chew the plastic into small pieces, called nanoplastics. Then, they secrete a specialized enzyme that breaks down the plastic even further. Finally, the bacteria use a ring of carbon atoms from the plastic as a food source, the researchers found. “We have systematically shown, for the first time, that a wastewater bacterium can take a starting plastic material, deteriorate it, fragment it, break it down and use it as a source of carbon,” said Northwestern’s Ludm...

  Environmental challenges, primarily soil erosion , deforestation, and unplanned urbanization, are jeopardizing food security and public health in the South Caucasus . Unsustainable agricultural practices and rapid urbanization are exacerbating environmental degradation , leading to a decline in natural resources and increased health risks. Researchers emphasize the need for comprehensive planning and sustainable land management strategies to address these pressing issues and promote environmental conservation in the region. Environmental degradation is hindering socio-economic development across the South Caucasus, according to published research conducted by regional experts. While the three South Caucasus states — Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia — have adequate legislative frameworks to address environmental challenges, they lack comprehensive planning mechanisms to promote sustainable growth. The findings, contained in an academic work titled Biodiverity, Conservation and Sust...

  Moorland in Greater Manchester will become a "habitat bank" that will conserve wildlife and attract new species. Under the scheme , developers will be able to buy biodiversity "units" to offset environmental harm from their projects. Environment Bank, which provides off-site biodiversity units, has announced a collection biodiversity net gain (BNG) habitat banks.
