Effect of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field exposure on sleep quality in high voltage substationsIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - Tập 9 - Trang 1-7 - 2012
Tayebeh Barsam, Mohammad Reza Monazzam, Ali Akbar Haghdoost, Mohammad Reza Ghotbi, Somayeh Farhang Dehghan
This study aims to investigate the effect of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields exposure on sleep quality in high voltage substations (132, 230 and 400 KV) in Kerman city and the suburbs. For this purpose, the electric field intensity and magnetic flux density were measured in different parts of substations, and then the occupational exposure was estimated by averaging electric field i...... hiện toàn bộ
Solid fuel smoke exposure and risk of obstructive airways diseaseIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - Tập 9 - Trang 1-5 - 2012
Mostafa Qorbani, Masud Yunesian
This study was designed to investigate whether there is an association between Obstructive Airways Disease (OAD) and indoor exposure to baking home-made bread smoke (BHBS) in ground oven at home. In this hospital-based case–control study, 83 patients with OAD (cases) were compared with 72 patients without any known pulmonary diseases from the surgical ward (controls) who were frequently matched wi...... hiện toàn bộ
Sulfonamide antibiotic reduction in aquatic environment by application of fenton oxidation processIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - Tập 10 - Trang 1-5 - 2013
Somayyeh Dehghani, Ahmad Jonidi Jafari, Mahdi Farzadkia, Mitra Gholami
Presence of antibiotics in the environment may cause potential risk for aquatic environment and organisms. In this research, Fenton oxidation process was offered as an effective method for removal of antibiotic sulfamethoxazole from aqueous solutions. The experiments were performed on laboratory-scale study under complete mixing at 25±2°C. The effects of initial antibiotic concentration, molar rat...... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of liquid and gas flow rates on sulfuric acid mist removal from air by packed bed towerIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - Tập 9 - Trang 1-7 - 2012
Mohammad Javad Jafari, Roohollah Ghasemi, Yadollah Mehrabi, Reza Ahmad Yazdanbakhsh, Majid Hajibabaei
The possible emission of sulfuric acid mists from a laboratory scale, counter-current packed bed tower operated with a caustic scrubbing solution was studied. Acid mists were applied through a local exhaust hood. The emissions from the packed bed tower were monitored in three different categories of gas flow rate as well as three liquid flow rates, while other influencing parameters were kept almo...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of leachate on groundwater pollution due to non-engineered municipal solid waste landfill sites of erode city, Tamil Nadu, IndiaIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - Tập 9 - Trang 1-12 - 2012
Rajkumar Nagarajan, Subramani Thirumalaisamy, Elango Lakshumanan
Leachate and groundwater samples were collected from Vendipalayam, Semur and Vairapalayam landfill sites in Erode city, Tamil Nadu, India, to study the possible impact of leachate percolation on groundwater quality. Concentrations of various physicochemical parameters including heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Fe and Zn) were determined in leachate samples and are reported. The concentrations...... hiện toàn bộ
Environmental impacts of forest road construction on mountainous terrainIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - Tập 10 - Trang 1-8 - 2013
Erhan Caliskan
Forest roads are the base infrastructure foundation of forestry operations. These roads entail a complex engineering effort because they can cause substantial environmental damage to forests and include a high-cost construction. This study was carried out in four sample sites of Giresun, Trabzon(2) and Artvin Forest Directorate, which is in the Black Sea region of Turkey. The areas have both steep...... hiện toàn bộ
Magntic susceptibility as a proxy to heavy metal content in the sediments of Anzali wetland, IranIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - Tập 9 - Trang 1-12 - 2012
Mohammad Reza Vesali Naseh, Abdolreza Karbassi, Fereydoon Ghazaban, Akbar Baghvand, Mohammad Javad Mohammadizadeh
Heavy metal concentrations and magnetic susceptibility of sediment samples were analyzed as indicators of urban and industrial contamination in Anzali wetland in Gilan, Iran. The aim was to investigate the suitability of magnetic properties measurements for indicating heavy metal pollution. The concentration of six heavy metals (Ni, Cr, Cd, Zn, Fe, and Pb) was determined in different depths of fou...... hiện toàn bộ
Biodegradation of high concentrations of benzene vapors in a two phase partition stirred tank bioreactorIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - - 2013
Ali Karimi, Farideh Golbabaei, Masoud Neghab, Mohammad Reza Pourmand, Ahmad Nikpey, Kazem Mohammad, Mohammad Reza Mehrnia
Abstract
The present study examined the biodegradation rate of benzene vapors in a two phase stirred tank bioreactor by a bacterial consortium obtained from wastewater of an oil industry refinery house. Initially, the ability of the microbial consortium for degrading benzene was evaluated before running the bioreactor. The gaseous samples from inlet and o...... hiện toàn bộ
