This paper suggests a ‘Sustainability Assessment Tool’ that can be used in early design phases of production processes. “Green Chemistry” principles were considered as a baseline when proposing the sustainability indicators. European chemicals regulations and databases were also applied and used as a baseline in chemicals hazards assessment. The to...
This paper suggested multicriteria based evaluation tool to assess the sustainability of three different reaction routes to dimethyl carbonate: direct synthesis from carbon dioxide and methanol, transesterification of methanol and propylene carbonate, and oxidative carbonylation of methanol. The first two routes are CO 2-based and in a research and...
Traffic-related particle emissions have been a great concern over a number of years due to their adverse health effects. In this research project, traffic-related particle deposition in the human lungs is studied using lung deposition estimates based on the ICRP 66 model. This study covers four human groups, i.e. adult males, adult females and two...
Lung deposition estimates of particulate emissions of diesel and natural gas (CNG) fuelled vehicles were studied by using in silico methodology. Particulate emissions and particulate number size distributions of two Euro 2 petroleum based diesel buses and one Euro 3 gas bus were measured. One of the petroleum based diesel buses used in the study wa...
The effects of short-term changes in particulate air pollution on the respiratory health of symptomatic children living near a steel works at Raahe, Finland, were assessed to determine whether particulate air pollution is associated with adverse respiratory effects, and whether specific sources of air pollution are responsible for these effects. A...
The most significant fine particle sources and their fractions in the subarctic city of Raahe, Finland, were determined by using receptor modelling. The daily mean concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 particles, sulphur dioxide and reflectance of PM2.5 filters were monitored for four months between January and April 1998 at a site about 3.5 km from the...
