Abstract:
Abstract Plant species can be utilized for biomonitoring the quality of the environment and reform the extent of pollution in both urbanized and industrial regions. In this current study, the quantity of nine heavy metal components viz. Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Pb absorbed on the leaves of Saraca asoca and Syzygium cumini were examined by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) during “February-March, 2019”. The samples were gathered from six different sites namely, Vellagate (Site1), CSI hospital (Site2), Near Cancer Institute (Site3), Moongilmandapam (Site4), Collectrate (Site5), Pallavarmedu (Control Site 6), of the Kanchipuram town, Tamil Nadu State. Metals Fe, Al, Zn and Mn were identified on the leaves of S.asoca and S.Cumini in all sites with varying concentrations out of which Fe (234.49mg/kg) and Al (364.18mg/kg) were higher level. Pb was identified only on the leaves of S.asoca in the sites 2 (2.21mg/kg) and site 4 (2.81mg/kg) which are subjected to heavy traffic and Cu was found only in site 3 and site 4 with minimum levels. The metals such as As, Cd, Cr was not identified on both species in all selected sites. Absorption of heavy metals on the leaves was probably due to emissions from vehicle, nonemission sources and mainly from other man-made activities. This work showed that both the selected species S.asoca and S.Cumini were suitable bio indicators, bio-monitors and used as greenbelt around the industrial areas for the mitigation of pollutants in the environment.

Abstract:
Reuse the old industrial sites is an important way to adjust the structure of city, as well as a right way to preserve the industrial heritages. Four important reusing methods are analyzed, developing industrial heritage tourism on the site, changing the discarded industrial land into a beautiful landscape park, spreading cultural and creative art in the old industrial sites, retaining the industrial usage and attracting different small factories to enter in. Hope the different reusing methods can preserve the old industrial sites and revive the economy.

Abstract:
Modern urban environments are full of void, underused spaces. But it is these urban voids that are our opportunities to transform and revitalize struggling urban environments. While some brownfields are quickly capped and converted into new places of business, this kind of transformation does little to get rid of the site contamination and a future of concealed complications. On the other hand, if brownfields are converted into park and open space, they then become opportunities for recreation, education and true environmental revitalization. Park users are given the opportunity to learn about the natural environment and how it can be restored and are also able to enjoy the benefits of recreation to improve their social, physical, and mental health. Overall, major economic, social, and environmental benefits are reaped from this kind of redevelopment.The purpose of this project is to explore the benefits of reclaiming an urban brownfield for reviving it through different regenerating strategies. Firstly through the development of a recreational space i.e a park and secondly through a residential area. While exploring these strategies a study of landscape urbanism as a new lens towards revival and study of environmental concerns such as soil remediation technique are involved.

This thesis provides new ways to understand preservation theory and management objectives for industrial heritage sites by analyzing existing mechanisms for their preservation through values and practices associated with cultural landscape preservation. In addition to discussing the theory and development of existing preservation approaches to cultural landscapes and industrial heritage sites, the study identifies characteristics and values aimed at expanding the framework of historic industrial landscape preservation practice. Using case studies of western hard-rock mining landscapes as the primary examples, the study argues that management strategies based on traditional preservation practices are insufficient for interpreting the complexity of these historic places, and that historic industrial landscape preservation is best served by attending to the range of values and processes associated with the historic landscape and its protection.

Abstract:
As one of the initiatives associated with the creation of the Susquehanna River Greenway Corridor in Pennsylvania, new connections will be established between the river, the greenway, and river communities. These connections will be made in an attempt to strengthen and revitalize the river corridor. The connections will be facilitated through a variety of projects ranging from parks or scenic overlooks to large-scale commercial or industrial developments.It was the intention for this creative project to explore ways in which communities along the river could connect to the river and the greenway through the redevelopment of industrial brownfield sites that separated those communities from the river. It was believed that the redevelopments would create links between the communities, the river and the greenway and that these connections would generate enhancement for both the communities and the greenway.In order to make strong connections, the components of these redevelopment projects must be consistent with the existing greenway project. Therefore, the fundamental concepts and goals of the greenway were identified and from those concepts and goals, guidelines were created to help guide industrial redevelopment projects.The major goal of the greenway initiative is to enhance local communities and the Susquehanna River valley as a whole. Concepts for the greenway center on issues of access, the environment, local and regional history, recreation, and economic development.The guidelines that were created based on the greenway concepts are suggestions for techniques communities could use to incorporate these concepts into their redevelopment projects. Some of these suggestions are very specific to industrial brownfield sites. For example, the need for soil and groundwater remediation is identified. Other suggestions are based on general planning techniques that could be used in any development or redevelopment situation along the greenway. The guidelines focus on land use, creating physical and visual connections to the river, transportation and circulation, the incorporation of the historic component, the built and natural environment, and economic development.Attached, as an appendix to this creative project is a proposed plan for the redevelopment of an actual industrial site along the greenway. The plan was created using the guidelines from this project to demonstrate how the guidelines could work in a real situation. The plan includes an complete land use proposal for the site, plan graphics, individual perspective drawings that illustrate character, and explanations of various components or details of the plan meet the goals established in the guidelines.

Abstract:
Smart meters have become increasingly common as an approach to benchmark and assess building energy use. In this paper, we explore what type of metering infrastructure may be required to derive value from the application of smart meters in the commercial and industrial sectors. As an example, we find that sole reliance upon a site-level smart meter—which has been the focus of most existing deployment models—provides sufficient data to extract summary statistics about how the energy use of a given site may compare to a typical ‘average’ site, but such installations fail to provide adequate detail about where the energy use is occurring or why any discrepancies might be occurring. To resolve these issues, we install a multi-tier advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) at a mixed use (industrial and commercial) campus. We use this AMI deployment to gain insight at different levels of the consumption hierarchy—from sites to buildings, panels, sub-panels, and end loads. The paper concludes by discussing the trade-offs associated with such augmented metering at each level within the hierarchy, with a view towards providing guidelines for AMI deployment at other industrial and commercial campuses.

Abstract:
La recherche présentée ici s’intéresse aux processus de qualification et de déqualification d’espaces industriels situés en milieu urbain. En effet, à partir de l’étude des arbitrages entre recherche de sécurité et développement urbain dans le contexte particulier d’un site industriel sinistré, il s’agit de voir en quoi la catastrophe s’impose comme un temps brutal, et parfois irréversible, de déqualification d’un espace dédié jusque-là à l’industrie. Ces travaux entendent montrer comment s’opèrent les arbitrages en situation de crise, la prégnance de la catastrophe et de l’émotion qu’elle suscite dans les décisions à court terme. L’un de leurs intérêts réside dans la mise en perspective de deux cas de sites sinistrés. Il s’agit tout d’abord du pôle chimique sud-toulousain, dévasté par l’explosion dans l’usine d’engrais AZF le 21 septembre 2001. Cet accident a entraîné la mort de 31 personnes, des blessures pour de nombreuses autres, et de multiples dégâts matériels dans toute la ville de Toulouse. L’autre cas concerne l’incendie du dépôt pétrolier Shell dans le port industriel Édouard Herriot de Lyon en juin 1987, ayant causé la mort de deux personnes.

Abstract:
The 6 th Assessment Report cycle of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (AR6) comes at a precipitous moment in history. Human influence has warmed the planet, and widespread and rapid impacts are occurring to natural and human systems in all regions of the world. In response, immediate action is needed if there is to be any hope of limiting global warming to 1.5°C or well below 2°C below pre-industrial levels, as well as preparing for and adapting to current and future risks. The transformations needed in response to climate change will require decisive action in cities and urban areas. Cities and urban areas are a major source and driver of emissions; they are also crucial sites for system transitions in the near term and transformations over longer time frames

Full text
Abstract:
Industrial soil contamination is frequently unearthed by transportation agencies during construction within the right-of-way. As a result, transportation agencies may experience construction delays. Soils co-contaminated with high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HMW-PAHs) and metals are commonly encountered in Illinois and exhibit recalcitrance towards conventional treatment technologies. This issue is exacerbated in the fine-grained soils common to Illinois, where low-permeability and immense sorption capacity increase treatment complexity, cost, and duration. Contaminated sites are spatially and temporally restrictive and require rapid in situ treatments, whereas conventional soil remediation requires 1 to 3 years on average. Consequently, transportation agencies typically pursue excavation and off-site disposal for expediency. However, this solution is expensive, so a comparatively expeditious and affordable treatment alternative is needed to combat the increasing cost of hazardous waste disposal. The objective of this work was to develop an accelerated in situ treatment approach adaptable for use at any construction site to cost-effectively remove HMW-PAHs and metals from clayey soil. It was hypothesized that an in situ electrochemical treatment which augments electrokinetics with H2O2 could remediate both HMW-PAHs and metals in less than a month. Bench-scale reactors resemblant of field-scale in situ electrokinetic systems were designed and fabricated to assess the electrochemical treatment of clayey soils contaminated with HMW-PAHs and metals. Pyrene, chromium, and manganese were used as model contaminants, spiked into kaolinite as a model clay. Electrokinetics were imposed by a low-intensity electrical field distributed by graphite rods. Electrolytic H2O2 systems were leveraged to distribute electrical current and facilitate contaminant removal. Average contaminant removals of 100%, 42.3%, and 4.5% were achieved for pyrene, manganese, and chromium, respectively. Successful development of this bench-scale treatment approach will serve to guide transportation agencies in field-scale implementation. The results from this work signify that electrochemical systems that leverage eco-friendly oxidant addition can replace excavation and disposal as a means of addressing clayey soils co-contaminated with HMW-PAHs and metals.

Abstract:
Cruise SO268 is fully integrated into the second phase of the European collaborative JPI-Oceans project MiningImpact and is designed to assess the environmental impacts of deep-sea mining of polymetallic nodules in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCZ). In particular, the cruise aimed at conducting an independent scientific monitoring of the first industrial test of a pre-protoype nodule collector by the Belgian company DEME-GSR. The work includes collecting the required baseline data in the designated trial and reference sites in the Belgian and German contract areas, a quantification of the spatial and temporal spread of the produced sediment plume during the trials as well as a first assessment of the generated environmental impacts. However, during SO268 Leg 1 DEME-GSR informed us that the collector trials would not take place as scheduled due to unresolvable technical problems. Thus, we adjusted our work plan accordingly by implementing our backup plan. This involved conducting a small-scale sediment plume experiment with a small chain dredge to quantify the spatial and temporal dispersal of the suspended sediment particles, their concentration in the plume as well as the spatial footprint and thickness of the deposited sediment blanket on the seabed.
