About this Research Topic
This research topic aims to integrate the engineering perspectives and multi-dimensional outputs from industrial production, and related processes, that bring to the fore the realities of pollution scenarios and their effects on our environment. The goal is to further emphasize the opportunities and potential to find solutions to the aggravating conditions that emanate from industrial discharge and emissions.
With respect to modernization, the topic welcomes investigations and assessments on the exhaustive utilization of our water resources, land resources and emission effects from industrial growth and other dependence issues that contribute to enhanced levels of pollution. We encourage studies that can show the ways to balance the effects of development-targeting solutions and the aggravation of natural conditions. Our aim is to reiterate the needs and strategies for balancing the paradigm shift of industrial growth that challenges the well-being of mankind and the environment on the macrocosm, with efforts in enabling environments to contain and control harmful emissions and discharge.
This topic will accept for review (but is not limited to) submissions in the form of original research, reviews and perspectives on the following:
• environmental impact assessment of industrial processes
• life cycle assessment of industries
• management of industrial waste and wastewater
• recycling and remediation of industrial waste and wastewater
• industrial sustainability
• water pollution from industrial discharge
• treatment of industrial wastewater and effluent
Keywords: pollution, industry, development, waste, life cycle assessment, LCA, modernization
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
