Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) waste: An Emerging monster in Lagos municipal solid waste

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) also referred to as Styrofoam, is a form of plastic frequently use for food packaging. This research focuses on the generation, disposal, and negative effects of waste EPS in Lagos Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Studies from some specific locations in five Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Lagos showed daily usage of EPS (as food package) by street food vendors and its negative impact on the environment and human life. Qualitative analysis of these locations of Lagos state has shown how several factors including the properties of EPS such as low cost, light weight, versatility, low recycle value and non biodegradability has contributed to the surge of EPS waste in Lagos state. This paper shows how street food vendors and consumers’ attitudes have contributed to defacing the aesthetic quality of Lagos state.

Review Paper

A critical review of alternative raw materials that can be used in the production of lyocell to make it cost competitive

The textile industry is one of the largest contributors to the looming climate crisis. Cotton, the most popular fabric, severely harms the environment because of its high water and carbon footprint. In current times, achieving sustainability is of utmost importance. Lyocell, a regenerated cellulosic fiber, is an eco-friendly alternative that offers similar benefits as cotton. However, due to the use of hardwood as a raw material in commercial production, it is twice as expensive and hence not widely adopted. This literature review evaluates the use of other raw materials that can be substituted into the conventional lyocell production process. The cost-effectiveness, time needed for implementation, and environmental impact of the method of generating the dissolving pulp and additional steps required for each alternative have been compared. After a critical evaluation, it was concluded that polycotton waste would be the most suitable alternative raw material as it will not harm the environment while also reducing pollution and offering a solution to recycle textiles and PET plastic, hence promoting sustainability and restoring the environment.

Real Estate Price Prediction using Ensemble Methods

Real estate is one of the popular fields in current society. Customers should be very careful when they are buying or selling the property. There exist several reasons for increasing in the demand of land and houses. The factors like locality of house, the rooms it consists of and cost of living at that particular place plays an important role for deciding the value of house. Automated house price prediction can be done using linear regression, random forest and linear classification methods which are also termed as Ensemble methods. In the system, the data will be cleaned initially like removal and detection of extreme data from datasets and then the algorithms be applied.

Simulated and observed DO (Dissolved Oxygen) values for selected major stations of spring-fed Kosi River stretch through model WASP (Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program)

The river Kosi is a spring fed river of Indian Himalayan region which quenches the thirst of major population of Kumaon region. The model WASP (Water quality analysis simulation program)is a widely used model suggested by EPA that can help simulate the water quality processes in diverse water bodies as reservoirs, ponds, lakes river like surface water bodies. The analysis in the 4 major selected stations of the stretch for Dissolved Oxygen was found to be 4-11mg/l as measured value whereas simulated values ranged from 1 mg/l to 10mg/l at the origin of the river, whereas at the end point of the river the simulated and measured value ranged from 4mg/l-8mg/l , 6mg/l. The Dissolved oxygen in the water is very essential to estimate the water quality as it directly affects the aquatic life and also signifies the presence of organic matter as well as microorganisms in the water. The continuous variations in the DO levels are observed in the entire stretch. The probable reason is uneven rainfall, scattered population and terrain complexities of the region. The continuous and frequent merging of various springs into the main course river results in frequent fluctuations in the physicochemical parameters of the river. This study is an attempt to comparatively analyse the water quality of the only river of the region with the simulated values from model WASP and observed water quality from daily sampling from the water body.
