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
Monitoring of some pesticides residue in consumed tea in Tehran marketIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - Tập 10 - Trang 1-6 - 2013

Tea is an agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of
various cultivars and sub-varieties of the Camellia sinensis plant, processed
and vulcanized using various methods. Tea is a main beverage in Iranian food
basket so should be free from toxic elements such as pesticides residue. There
is no data bank on the residue of pesticides in the consumed black tea in Iran.

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
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 outlet of bioreactor were
directly injected ... hiện toàn bộ
Degradation of a textile reactive azo dye by a combined biological-photocatalytic process: Candida tropicalis Jks2 -Tio2/UvIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - Tập 9 - Trang 1-7 - 2012
Narjes Jafari, Rouha Kasra-Kermanshahi, Mohammad Reza Soudi, Amir Hossein Mahvi, Sara Gharavi
In the present study, the decolorization and degradation of Reactive Black 5
(RB5) azo dye was investigated by biological, photocatalytic (UV/TiO2) and
combined processes. Application of Candida tropicalis JKS2 in treatment of the
synthetic medium containing RB5 indicated complete decolorization of the dye
with 200 mg/L in less than 24 h. Degradation of the aromatic rings, resulting
from the destr... hiện toàn bộ
Algal production of extra and intra-cellular polysaccharides as an adaptive response to the toxin crude extract of Microcystis aeruginosaIranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering - Tập 9 - Trang 1-7 - 2012

This is an investigation concerned with studying the possible adaptive response
of four different unicellular algae, Anabaena PCC 7120, Oscillatoria
angustissima, Scendesmus obliquus and Chlorella vulgaris, to the toxin of
Microcystis aeruginosa (Kützing). The effects of four different concentrations,

Gamma rays pose enough energy to induce chemical changes that may be
biologically important for the normal functioning of body cells. The external
exposure of human beings to natural environmental gamma radiation normally
exceeds that from all man-made sources combined. In this research natural
background gamma dose rates and corresponding annual effective doses were
determined for selected cities... hiện toàn bộ
