BIOLOGICAL MONITORING OF MERCURY EXPOSURE IN DENTISTS OF TEHRAN

In order to assess the risk for mercury poisoning in dentists, urine specimens were collected and analysed from 250 dentists (190 male, 60 female). Subject data and pertinent health symptoms were asked via a questionnaire. The results indicate that the mean and standard deviation of mercury values were 51.3± 38.0 µg/L, while 27.2 percent of dentists had levels within normal limits (0-19 µg/...

Monitoring of Non-Point Source Pollutions from an Agriculture Watershed in South China

Understanding the characteristics of non-point sources (NPS) pollutions can provide theoretical support for improving water quality. Siheshui watershed located in south China was selected to explore the characteristics of NPS pollutions in rainfall-runoff process. In this small agricultural watershed, five flood events and one non-flood event were monitored, and the water quantity and quality c...

Energy-saving method for technogenic waste processing

Dumps of a mining-metallurgical complex of post-Soviet Republics have accumulated a huge amount of technogenic waste products. Out of them, Kazakhstan alone has preserved about 20 billion tons. In the field of technogenic waste treatment, there is still no technical solution that leads it to be a profitable process. Recent global trends prompted scientists to focus on developing energy-saving a...

BIoLoGICAL MonIToRInG oF WATERS

The management of natural environments passes from the possibility to know environmental features and their evolution in time. Generally quality assessment is based on chemistry or microbiology, and physical values, to justify laws and sanctions. The big problem of these precise measures, however, is in the necessity they have to be recorded in a more or less continuous monitoring. Punctual mea...
