By 2050, the population living in major cities, especially in developing countries, will have increased twofold. With the increasing majority of the population occurring in urban areas, it is crucial to focus on how technological innovation can help to deliver a sustainable future. A sustainable city strives to create a sustainable living environment through the use of technology. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to review the impact of technological innovation on building a more sustainable city. Technological innovation has changed the overall effectiveness and benevolence over time and with regard to sustainability. A sustainable city involves development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development encompasses all aspects of environmental stewardship, social development, and economic progress.

“…The advantages of the mobile phone such as: instant internet connections, instant communication, instant access to data, listening to music, etc., have made it a complementary part of our everyday life which in turn led to an increase in mobile phone users. Despite its advantages, mobile phones also have many harmful aspects [3]. The number of mobile phone users has increased by 16% since 2010 and today more than 74 million users exist in Turkey.…”

The importance of electromagnetic (EM) sources in human life has been increasing with the development of technology. EM radiation triggers some problems in our life such as EM interference and human health problems. EM radiation level which is emitted by the base station increases in proportion to the density of population in a region. EM exposure is higher in areas where people are highly concentrated such as hospitals, military barracks, schools, shopping malls, than in any other region. It is important to show sustained concern about the EM radiation intensity in these areas to keep the levels under the permissible limits. In this study, electric field values are measured statically at locations where the population density is too high, to examine the electric field intensity levels throughout the campus. Besides, two different artificial neural models (ANN) are developed to estimate the electric field values of random locations which are specific regions for electromagnetic exposure. Moreover, measurement results and estimated results are evaluated within the limits defined by national (ICTA) and international (ICNIRP) standards. Finally, the EM exposure map is constructed with data that is average electric field intensity versus measurement locations.

“…To assess the risk generated by the exposure to chemicals, complex, expensive, and time-consuming tests are required [33][34][35]. This is because the details about the chemical content of products are not always available to consumers, organizational buyers, or regulators who evaluate the risks of using these products in our everyday life [2].…”

“…Widely accessible studies from many national and international organizations explain the effect the chemicals used in consumer products have on human health [35]. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a non-profit advocacy group, which launched legislative proposals and consumer campaigns aimed to inform consumers about the harmful effects of chemicals used to obtain cosmetics.…”

Raising Awareness on Health Impact of the Chemicals Used in Consumer Products: Empirical Evidence from East-Central Europe

et al. 2018

Recent research and guidance provided by regulatory authorities address the growing concerns on the control of chemicals used in consumer products. In this context, this study responds to literature alerts emphasizing the need for promoting risk reduction by decreasing the use of damaging chemicals and raising public awareness on this issue. It focuses on East-Central Europe and investigates whether consumers are worried about the impact on health of chemicals, and whether they think there is enough information available in this sense. The study uses logistic regression in order to analyze the secondary data from Special Eurobarometer No. 416 (part of Eurobarometer Wave EB 81.3, European Commission, 2014), namely 27,998 interviews collected in all 28 EU countries, of which 11,460 are from East-Central Europe. The research reveals a profile of East-Central Europeans, who consider that they lack information on the topic, and identifies the most effective way of reaching these people according to their perceptions and habits. Reporting results on a representative sample in East-Central Europe, the study indicates the channels, sources of information, and trusted institutions in order to support a campaign for raising public awareness on the health impact of chemicals used in consumer products.
