A Modern Model for Sustainable Architecture with uses Nanotechnology

The 21st century Nanotechnology has the potential to make a huge impact on sustainability; but to achieve this potential, Nanotechnology is all about getting more function on less space. In other hand, Nanotechnology is one of the most extremely important components in sustainable development. It has the potential to reduce the environmental impact and energy intensity of structures, as well as...

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Urban Soils of Different Land Uses in Miami, Florida

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous organic pollutants in urban environments and are considered as the priority pollutants by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The objective of this study was to determine the depth-wise distribution (0–15, 15–30, and 30–45 cm) of 16 PAHs compounds in four urban soils of different land uses (residential, public parks, public buildings,...
