Article Abstract
As a result of the 1987 Montreal Protocol and its amendments, the atmospheric loading of anthropogenic ozone-depleting substances is decreasing. Accordingly, the stratospheric ozone layer is expected to recover. However, short data records and atmospheric variability confound the search for early signs of recovery, and climate change is masking ozone recovery from ozone-depleting substances in some regions and will increasingly affect the extent of recovery. Here we discuss the nature and timescales of ozone recovery, and explore the extent to which it can be currently detected in different atmospheric regions.

Integrated crop-livestock systems combine feed production with animal production as separate, but interconnected operations. This study presents the first Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a large scale, integrated, organic egg production system in Brazil and the first worldwide assessment of a large-scale integrated crop-poultry system. This research provides insights into eco-efficiency, offering guidance for sustainable practices in Brazil and beyond.

This study assessed the environmental impacts of construction and demolition waste (CDW)-based geopolymers. For analysis, the cradle-to-gate system boundary was established. Two different geopolymer mixtures were evaluated: one composed entirely of CDW-based precursors-(CDW100), and another incorporating supplementary cementitious materials-(SCMs) as a 20 % replacement of CDW-based precursors- (CDW80SCM20).

This study investigated the sustainable approach to removing and recovering chromium by chemical precipitation using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sulfuric acid (HSO). The raw tannery wastewater was studied under varying pH and agitation speed to assess and optimize the process variables using an atomic absorption spectrometer, exhibiting promising removal and recovery rates. The highest chromium removal efficiency of 96.

Cosmic rays (CRs) play an important role in affecting planetary and interstellar climate and environment. Here, we apply the CR-driven electron-induced reaction (CRE) theory of ozone depletion to obtain a quantitative understanding of spatiotemporal variations in Earth's lower-stratospheric ozone (LSO) and temperature, which provide fingerprints for the mechanisms of ozone depletion and examine the impact of nonhalogen greenhouse gases on the ozone layer. We first show from observations that both LSO and temperature display pronounced 11-y cyclic variations over Antarctica and mid-latitudes, while weak (no apparent) cyclic variations over the tropics.

Manganese peroxidase (MnP) is widely studied for its potential in bioremediation, although its production typically relies on costly synthetic culture media (SCM). This study evaluates olive mill solid waste (OMSW) as a sustainable substrate for MnP production. Three alternatives were evaluated: (1) using SCM; (2) using OMSW; and (3) using OMSW, followed by anaerobic digestion (AD).
