AbstractTriethylene glycol (TEG) removes equilibrium water from natural gas but
may spill during equipment maintenance and other poor safety practices. Studies
on the toxicity of rich TEG in aquatic habitats are scarce. In this study, the
toxicity of rich TEG on freshwater juvenile African catfish (Clarias gariepinus)
test organism was conducted. The experimental design for the toxicity tests was

AbstractThis paper aims to analyze the institutions involved in the conservation
management of Litsea leytensis Merr., with the trade name Medang, a wood species
preferred by carvers in the Philippines, particularly in Paete, Laguna. The art
of wood carving is thriving as a culture and as a wood-based industry for
Filipinos, intertwined with natural resource management, where the seeds and

Tóm tắtCác nhà máy xi măng là nguồn chính của con người phát thải các yếu tố có
thể độc hại (PTEs), được sinh ra từ việc chế biến nguyên liệu thô và sự đốt cháy
nhiên liệu hóa thạch. Nghiên cứu này xác định nồng độ PTE và đánh giá các rủi ro
địa hóa, sinh thái và sức khỏe liên quan đến các hoạt động tại nhà máy xi măng

Abstract Introduction Considering the adverse carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic
health effects of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and specially Benzene,
Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes (BTEX) which are widely used in vehicle
manufacturing industry, it is clear that monitoring and control of occupational
exposure to these substances is of utmost significance. More often than not the
studies on o... hiện toàn bộ
The human health risk assessment associated with heavy metals contained in
sources of drinking water within the catchment area of some dumpsites in FCT
Abuja were carried out. Surface and groundwater samples collected within the
catchment area of the selected dumpsites were subjected to inductively coupled
plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in order to obtain the required analytes for
the assessmen... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractSeveral researches have been studied the diffusion coefficient (Da) of
radionuclide in soil samples in varies location around the world; however, the
effect of cations in groundwater as a medium of saturation for Cs-137 diffusion
in soil and bentonite remains to be accomplished. Compacted soil and bentonite
layers are utilized in the construction of radioactive waste disposal sites,

AbstractChina still dominates all other nations as the world's most significant
producer and consumer of antibiotics. Antibiotic misuse and overuse have been
qualitatively and quantitatively documented in China recently. Antibiotic misuse
has alarmed the Chinese population because some antibiotics persist in the
environment and adversely affect human health and other non-target organisms.

AbstractUrban centres in Ghana continue to expand to areas with difficult
accessibility, severely impacting location decisions on solid waste disposal
sites (SWDS). This study uses the location theory to examine the spatial
distribution of SWDS in urban Ghana. Methodologically, it uses the nearness
neighbour tool, which is a key component in GIS for spatial analysis. The
results show that the dist... hiện toàn bộ
