Waterborne coating is a type of coating, which uses water as a solvent. Water is used as a dispersal agent for resins, thereby making them eco-friendly and easy to use. Water constitutes 80% of the volume of the paint, with traces of other solvents, such as glycol ethers. These coatings are gaining wide application in the US and Western Europe because of their low level of volatile organic carbon (VOC) content. Waterborne coatings are used to enhance the appearance of buildings, fireproofing systems, offices, and factories, as well as to protect them from moisture, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and microbes. Paints, primers, lacquers, varnishes, and stains are some of the main types of waterborne coating products. These products are formulated using various types of resins, such as acrylics, alkyds, polyesters, and polyurethanes. Waterborne coatings are further classified as water-soluble paints, emulsion-latex coatings, and water-based alkyd coatings.

Construction paints and coatings refer to any liquid surface covering applied on the interior or exterior of a structure for decorative or protective purposes. They help prevent cracks and rusting, check the proliferation of fungi and algae, and enhance the looks and lifespan of the structure.

A cluster munition is an air-dropped or ground-launched explosive weapon that ejects smaller submunitions. Cluster bombs release explosive projectiles, which are designed to destroy vehicles, disperse chemical or biological weapons, scatter landmines, and kill personnel. These cluster bombs release many small munitions over a wide area, posing risks to civilians both during attacks and after attacks. Unexploded bomblets can kill civilians and unintended targets long after the conflict has ended as they remain difficult to locate and remove.

Dietary fibers are long thread-like structures that are widely present in fruits, vegetables, and grains. They are also known as roughage or bulk and include all parts of plant foods that are not digested or absorbed by the body.

Sludge is a blend of liquid and solid wet mud-like components generated during the treatment of wastewater. It is viscous in nature. It contains water, natural materials, chemicals, and microorganisms including pathogens. The sludge produced by different industries include pollutants (heavy metals, pathogens, and organic pollutants) and compounds of agricultural value (organic waste, phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur). The treatment of sludge depends on the pollution load of the treated water, and the characteristics of the sludge depend on the wastewater treatments undertaken.
