“…Air pollution, often characterized by the presence of traditional pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3), constitutes a persistent challenge (Arya, 2022). These pollutants, primarily originating from industrial activities, vehicular emissions, and combustion processes, infiltrate the air we breathe.…”

Environmental factors play a pivotal role in shaping public health outcomes on a global scale. This paper provides a succinct overview of the review exploring the intricate relationship between environmental elements and public health, highlighting the challenges faced worldwide and proposing solutions for a healthier future. The review begins by dissecting the diverse range of environmental challenges that significantly impact public health. From air and water pollution to climate change, the scope encompasses both traditional pollutants and emerging threats. The interconnectedness of ecosystems and human health is underscored, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of environmental determinants. Amidst the challenges, the review navigates through innovative solutions and strategies to mitigate the adverse health effects of environmental factors. Initiatives addressing pollution reduction, sustainable urban planning, and ecosystem preservation emerge as key components. The exploration extends to the incorporation of advanced technologies, data-driven interventions, and international collaborations to tackle environmental health issues at a global level. Furthermore, the review delves into the importance of public awareness and education in fostering sustainable practices. Empowering communities to understand the reciprocal relationship between their environment and health is identified as a crucial aspect of long-term solutions. The role of policymakers and advocacy in promoting environmental policies that prioritize public health outcomes is also emphasized. The review encapsulates the intricate web of challenges posed by environmental factors to public health and envisions a future where proactive measures and collaborative efforts lead to a harmonious coexistence between human populations and their surroundings. The proposed solutions aim to inspire a paradigm shift towards sustainable practices, ensuring a healthier and resilient global community.

“…The direct combustion method is a type of thermochemical procedure in which biomass undergoes combustion in an unconfined environment, resulting in the conversion of the chemical energy contained in the biomass through photosynthesis into thermal energy (Li et al, 2023). While the combustion of forest biomass does result in the release of CO2, particulate matter (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and other detrimental compounds, the quantities emitted are comparatively lower than those generated by the combustion of fossil fuels (Arya, 2022;. For instance, prior studies have demonstrated that the combustibility of forest biomass yields a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the utilization of fossil fuels (Sasaki, 2021).…”

The use of biomass is vital in reducing the negative effects of rising fossil fuel consumption. Given its quantity and diversity, forest biomass has garnered a lot of interest among the many kinds of biomass. This study evaluates the various strategies for transforming woody waste into usable biofuels. Carbon dioxide emissions from traditional energy generation systems could be mitigated through the direct utilization of forest biomass. Low energy conversion rates, as well as soot emissions and residues, are some of the problems that come up when directly using forest biomass. The sustainability of direct energy generation from forest biomass is also seriously threatened by the lack of constant access to biomass. Co-combustion with coal and pelletizing biomass is two solutions proposed for this issue. Co-combustion of forest biomass with coal has the potential to lower the process's emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfides. This article reviews and discusses the biochemical and thermochemical mechanisms that can transform forest biomass into a variety of liquid and gaseous biofuels. Future research using cutting-edge sustainability assessment tools like life cycle assessment, exergy, etc. should investigate the sustainability of forest biomass conversion processes to bioenergy further.

“…Notably, the year-on-year decline in the cost of renewable power generation has contributed to a trend of continued growth in renewable energy sector applications, with approximately 77% of capacity additions to sustainable energy generation due to solar and wind energy in 2017 (Al-Shahri et al 2021). Besides, according to the World Health Organization, 7 million people die each year due to air pollution, which mainly stems from the burning of fossil fuels (Arya 2022). The development and implementation of regulatory frameworks and policies aimed at accelerating the deployment of renewable energy are therefore critical for mitigating climate change, enhancing energy security, and promoting sustainable development (Lu et al 2020).…”

The building sector is significantly contributing to climate change, pollution, and energy crises, thus requiring a rapid shift to more sustainable construction practices. Here, we review the emerging practices of integrating renewable energies in the construction sector, with a focus on energy types, policies, innovations, and perspectives. The energy sources include solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass fuels. Case studies in Seattle, USA, and Manama, Bahrain, are presented. Perspectives comprise self-sufficiency, microgrids, carbon neutrality, intelligent buildings, cost reduction, energy storage, policy support, and market recognition. Incorporating wind energy into buildings can fulfill about 15% of a building's energy requirements, while solar energy integration can elevate the renewable contribution to 83%. Financial incentives, such as a 30% subsidy for the adoption of renewable technologies, augment the appeal of these innovations.
