Abstract
In both the primary and secondary sectors, many efforts have been made to reduce the use of pollutants, transform effluents into reusable products, modify technologies, adapt manufacturing processes, etc., in an effort to minimize environmental impact. For example, conventional agriculture is responsible for approximately 10.3% of all greenhouse gases produced worldwide due to the use of pesticides and effluent of animal by-products. In fact, the abundant use of monocrops and chemicals in agriculture is turning soils barren, affecting crop production and yield. However, in this sector several new advances have been made which promote and incorporate the use of environmentally friendly biological fertilizers and pesticides such as composts, biochar, mycorrhizal fungi, rhizobacteria, and botanical pesticides. Also, the use of nanotechnology is starting to be notorious with the application of nanoclay minerals, nanoparticles, and smart fertilizers. The energy sector is also very worrisome as much of the world’s energy is still produced from fossil-fuel-derived products such as coal, natural gas, and crude oil. Although there has been an uprising in renewable energy sources in developed countries, exploring solar, hydro, and wind sources, as well as through the incorporation and further development of alternative fuel and energy sources such as biofuels and hydrogen, it is still insufficient to offset the consumption made by largely industrialized and developing countries. Likewise, the chemical sector generates several emissions and effluents that are detrimental to humans and natural alike. The production of products such as lubricants and solvents from fossil fuels generates a significant negative eco-footprint, fact that has led researchers to explore the areas of biolubricants, biosolvents, water-based paints among other eco-friendly alternatives. For instances, it is probably unknown to the general public that the paper production industry and the paint production industry have a highly negative impact on Nature and human health, from the planting and colleting of raw materials (i.e., eucalyptus trees for paper production) which is changing the landscape of forests, to the incorporation of harsh chemicals used during bleaching processes, or even the evaporation of health jeopardizing solvents all through the simple action of paint drying. Indeed, although prohibited in several developed countries, the use of lead-based paints is still a dangerous reality, as their use is still practiced in large industrialized countries with laid back polices and low labor costs. These lead-based paints are utilized on products that are then exported all over the world. The production of cement products is also a heavy polluter as it is a high energy-consuming process, being dependent on the burning of fuels to generate the necessary process conditions. The incorporation of alternative energy sources to enhance thermal efficiency is a reality that is currently under development, through the inclusion of recycled/waste fuels (i.e., agricultural waste fuels such as rice straw). Furthermore, inclusion of natural fibers or recycled polymer fibers allows to improve overall mechanical properties of cement/mortar products, allowing the incorporation of materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Another very important industrial sector is the automotive/transportation industry. In the past decades, this sector has been constantly trying to improve its negative impact, from the incorporation of catalytic converter devices on gasoline engines, particle filter on diesel engines, non-leaded fuels, recycled and natural materials such as cork, alternative population systems (i.e., hybrid and electric motors), among many others. Manufacturers are using tools such as life cycle assessments, Design for X, lean manufacturing, simulation and finite element analysis, robotics and automation, among others, to generate lighter, more fuel-efficient and overall higher-quality and environmentally friendly products. Therefore, as the agricultural, energy production, chemical, construction, and automotive sectors are among the most environmentally damaging, they will be discussed in this chapter, laying out what is wrong and all that can be implemented, improved, or changed to help mitigate and invert the current situation.
