The aim of this study was to provide a scientific method based on Geographical Information System (GIS) regarding all sustainable development measures to locate a proper landfill for disposal of hazardous wastes, especially industrial (radioactive) wastes. Seven effective factors for determining hazardous waste landfill were applied in Qom Province, central Iran. These criteria included water, slo...... hiện toàn bộ

Distribution and seasonal variation of sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in the drinking water of Tehran, the capital of Iran. Detected single and total PAHs concentrations were in the range of 2.01-38.96 and 32.45-733.10 ng/L, respectively, which were quite high compared to the values recorded in other areas of the world. The average occurrence of PAHs wit...... hiện toàn bộ
Nitrogen removal from wastewater through microbial electrolysis cells and cation exchange membraneJournal of Environmental Health Science and Engineering - Tập 12 - Trang 1-9 - 2014
Sakineh Haddadi, GholamReza Nabi-Bidhendi, Nasser Mehrdadi
Vulnerability of water resources to nutrients led to progressively stricter standards for wastewater effluents. Modification of the conventional procedures to meet the new standards is inevitable. New technologies should give a priority to nitrogen removal. In this paper, ammonium chloride and urine as nitrogen sources were used to investigate the capacity of a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) co...... hiện toàn bộ
Estimating ground-level PM10 using satellite remote sensing and ground-based meteorological measurements over TehranJournal of Environmental Health Science and Engineering - Tập 12 - Trang 1-13 - 2014
Saeed Sotoudeheian, Mohammad Arhami
Measurements by satellite remote sensing were combined with ground-based meteorological measurements to estimate ground-level PM10. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) by both MODIS and MISR were utilized to develop several statistical models including linear and non-linear multi-regression models. These models were examined for estimating PM10 measured at the air quality stations in Tehran, Iran, during ...... hiện toàn bộ
Health risk assessment of Pb and Cd in soil, wheat, and barley in Shazand County, central of IranJournal of Environmental Health Science and Engineering - Tập 17 - Trang 467-477 - 2019
Amir Hossein Baghaie, Forough Aghili
Heavy metal contamination via mining activity is a serious problem around the world. This study was conducted to evaluate the total non-cancer hazard quotient (THQ) and excess lifetime cancer risks of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) to different population groups via soil, wheat and barley ingestion, soil-dermal contact, and inhalation soil particulates around Shahin mine located in Shazand County.

Galicia, in northwest Spain, experiences warm summers and winters. However, the higher relative humidity that prevails the whole year through and the location of the summer hot points are related to real weather heat stroke in the hottest season. However, Planet Global Heating was recently analyzed for the climate in Galicia. Climate change was found to be able to trigger effects that involve a ne...... hiện toàn bộ
Reduction of membrane fouling by innovative method (injection of air jet)Journal of Environmental Health Science and Engineering - Tập 12 - Trang 1-8 - 2014
Maryam-Sadat Amiraftabi, Navid Mostoufi, Mostafa Hosseinzadeh, Mohammad-Reza Mehrnia
One of the most important challenges about the Membrane Bio Reactors is membrane fouling. Fouling has been at the centre of a globe debate for more recent years. It leads to high operational and maintenance costs such as membrane damage and replacement of membrane. Membrane fouling is attributed to the physicochemical interactions between the bio fluid and membrane. In order to decrease the foulin...... hiện toàn bộ
