The aim of this paper is to develop a new approach for quantifying impacts on biodiversity due to anthropogenic water consumption.
The critical issue to be dealt with is how to improve the conversion efficiency from the solar energy to biofuel energy such that biofuels can meet anthropogenic energy consumption demands and be able to replace the fossil fuels.
Road transport today is responsible for a significant and growing share of anthropogenic emissions and energy consumption.
Exposure to environmental hazards during prenatal period of life may be a result of anthropogenic pollution or conscious consumption of some toxic substances by a pregnant woman.
Large amount of Ni is released in the atmosphere due to natural as well as anthropogenic activities including fossil fuel consumption, the industrial production (mining, smelting, and refining), use, and disposal of nickel compounds and alloys, and waste incineration [ 98].
There is a general agreement that the climate change, which is the most important challenge facing humanity, is anthropogenic and attributed to fossil fuel consumption.
oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO2 [2].
This operation raised concerns of increased levels of arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) associated disease in the local communities from consumption of seafood contaminated with anthropogenic As and Hg.
Many people, by means of consumption of seafood or other anthropogenic sources, are exposed to levels of methylmercury (MeHg) that are generally considered to be quite low, but that may nevertheless produce irreversible brain damage, particularly in unborn babies.
Combining the assumptions for both domestic and imported sources, this implies that approximately 36% of mercury exposure from fish consumption is attributed to U.S. anthropogenic sources [i.e., (0.42 × 0.02) + (0.58 × 0.60) ≈ 0.36].
