“…This study is consistent with findings from past and recent studies in other country settings: Chawla et al (2022), Ghosh et al (2022), Wang et al (2022), Xie and Jamaani (2022). It strengthens the evidence base that economic tools, such as environmental taxation, could make (in practice) a significant contribution to the environmental protection and development of the environmental economy.…”

“…Among all these thermal procedures, pyrolysis and controlled incineration have garnered considerable interest in the recycling of PCBs, because they can recover energy and the metallic components with lower emission levels [ 235 , 236 ]. Some of the innovations in this field include application of microwave-assisted pyrolysis, designing co-pyrolysis, developing better reactors, and introducing catalysts to the system to enhance the transformation of organic materials [ 237 ]. Correspondingly, the most practical strategy to recover plastic fractions from PCBs, involves energy recovery from plastics and chemically converting polymers in PCB [ 234 ].…”

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is a known endocrine disruptor employed in a range of consumer products and has been predominantly found in different environments through industrial processes and in human samples. In this review, we aimed to summarize published scientific evidence on human biomonitoring, toxic effects and mode of action of TBBPA in humans. Interestingly, an overview of various pretreatment methods, emerging detection methods, and treatment methods was elucidated. Studies on exposure routes in humans, a combination of detection methods, adsorbent-based treatments and degradation of TBBPA are in the preliminary phase and have several limitations. Therefore, in-depth studies on these subjects should be considered to enhance the accurate body load of non-invasive matrix, external exposure levels, optimal design of combined detection techniques, and degrading technology of TBBPA. Overall, this review will improve the scientific comprehension of TBBPA in humans as well as the environment, and the breakthrough for treating waste products containing TBBPA.

“…Interest in biodegradable packaging materials is dictated by the necessity to decrease the impact of oil-based nondegradable plastics on the environment. The production of the latter, as well as the amount of plastic waste that cannot be collected, utilized, or recycled, is rising every year [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Obviously, the biodegradable “competitors” are more expensive and their production requires advanced technological processes, but the benefits for nature and the future sustainable world are more important.…”

The ecological problems emerging due to accumulation of non-biodegradable plastics are becoming more and more urgent. This problem can be solved by the development of biodegradable materials which will replace the non-biodegradable ones. Among numerous approaches in this field, there is one proposing the use of polysaccharide-based materials. These polymers are biodegradable, non-toxic, and obtained from renewable resources. This review opens discussion about the application of polysaccharides for the creation of biodegradable packaging materials. There are numerous investigations developing new formulations using cross-linking of polymers, mixing with inorganic (metals, metal oxides, clays) and organic (dyes, essential oils, extracts) compounds. The main emphasis in the present work is made on development of the polymer blends consisting of cellulose, starch, chitin, chitosan, pectin, alginate, carrageenan with some synthetic polymers, polymers of natural origin, and essential oils.
