The average metal content in waste printed circuit boards is ~30-35% whereas the rest of the material is a non-metal fraction (NMF). Metals in the waste printed circuit boards are recycled for their value whereas the NMF is mostly sent to landfills or incinerators for disposal. The circuit board laminates contain flame retardant chemicals that pose potential hazards to the environment and to public h...

SCALE-DEPENDENT EFFECTS OF FOREST EDGES ON MOUNTAIN GRASSLAND BIOGEOCHEMISTRY
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 7 Current landscapes have been intensively modified by humans and forest fragmentation has created substantial increases of forest edges. So far, scale-dependence between observable ecological patterns and the underlying processes affected by forest fragmentation have been widely ignored. To overcome the widespread ambiguity in selecting relevant spatial scales for studying
the ecological effects of forest fragmentation, we investigated the effect of forest prevalence and edge length on carbon st... Autori: Emilia I. Cojoc ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=28242
