Increasing awareness on the various environmental problems has led a shift in the way consumers go about their life. There has been a change in consumer attitudes towards a green lifestyle. People are actively trying to reduce their impact on the environment. However, this is not widespread and is still evolving. Organizations and business however have seen this change in consumer attitudes and are trying to gain an edge in the competitive market by exploiting the potential in the green market industry. The current study introduces the concept of green marketing and looks into the various ways in which the different consumer attributes are related to the concept of green marketing. A conceptual framework is presented and the information is analyzed on the basis of the framework.
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) have a very long life and they persist in the environment for a very long time and have a long life in soils, sediments, air or biota. There has been a recent upsurge of interest in the development of low cost reliable measures which are required in order to detect and trace current concentration levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) as a result of increasing levels of accumulation within the living organism, transformation as well as toxicity making it ideal to examine the impact on the environment which has been the focus of this review. There are still debates that rage around the issue including relevance of some physio pathologic effects of POPs on the human body along with epidemiological and clinical effects on the human population. Hence in this review there is examination, debating and presenting of arguments in relation to the sources, properties and types of POPs in the atmosphere along with examining the toxicity, analytical techniques and monitoring of atmospheric and biological concentration of POPs in the human population.
This article is located within a broad body of literature concerned with environmental accounting and critical of the current role of accounting. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the available literature based on the Environmental accounting (green accounting) and sustainability and to understand how it has been studied and evaluated by different authors who are working in this area. Current literature focuses on environmental sustainability and lacks quantitative ways to make capital budgeting decisions. The study suggests that there should be wide empirical studies in this area so that, through the environmental accounting system we can analyze the environmental performance of each companies or organizations. A possible conceptual model for environmental accounting and reporting by Michael John Jones is also suggested in this article. The study concludes that Environment Management Accounting can likely support decision making in companies towards better environmental performance today, through structured cost assessment that support effective decision making, and future proofed product mixes, strategies and investment.
Waste management is a complex process that requires a lot of information from various sources such as factors on waste generation and waste quantity forecasts. When operations related to promotion of waste management systems are considered it is observed that generation of waste and planning is found to be influenced by different factor of which are impacted by socio demographics. The main aim of this paper is to review previously tested models related to municipal solid waste generation and identify possible factors which will help in identifying the crucial design options within the framework of statistical modelling.
The rapid development of various leisure and public pools in the 20th century has led to increased human exposure to chlorinated products. It has been observed that swimmers and pool workers, who are in regular contact with chlorinated indoor pool waters showed an increased risk of respiratory and allergic diseases. Various studies have reported that by-products of the chlorine based disinfectant used for the purpose of water purification can trigger allergic sensitization, thereby affecting the epithelial barriers and increasing the permeability of the allergens. With the ever increasing popularity of indoor swimming pool and recreational water activities, it is imperative to evaluate the impact of chlorine-based disinfectants and its oxidants on human health and their possible association with widespread allergic diseases. This paper reviews the existing literature and empirical studies conducted with regards to the human exposure to the harmful chemicals and by-products of chlorine-based disinfectants, especially in an indoor swimming pool setting and its association with the development of allergic and respiratory disorders.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
