Halocarbons: Environmental Effects of Chlorofluoromethane Release (Book)

environmental effects of gol-e-gohar iron ore mine on groundwater of the area

gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...

Halocarbons over the rainforest

Airborne measurements of the halogenated trace gases methyl chloride, methyl bromide and chloroform were conducted over the Atlantic Ocean and 1000 km of pristine tropical rainforest in Suriname and French Guyana (3–6 • N, 51–59 • W) in October 2005. In the boundary layer (0–1.4 km), maritime air masses initially low in forest hy-5 drocarbons, advected over the forest by southeasterly trade win...

Writing the Book on Environmental Health

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma is a common malignancy in children. There are two major types of rhabdomyosarcomas, the embryonal and the alveolar, differing in cytogenetic and morphologic features. The alveolar type of rhabdomyosarcoma is frequently associated with chromosome translocation t(2, 13) and poor clinical prognosis. Pathogenesis of rhabdomyosarcoma remains obscure, and especially it oc...

2 Chemical and Radiative Effects of Halocarbons and Their Replacement Compounds

Radiative effects of CH4, N2O, halocarbons and the foreign-broadened H2O continuum: A GCM experiment

The simplified exchange approximation (SEA) method for calculation of infrared radiative transfer, used for general circulation model (GCM) climate simulations at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) and other institutions, has been updated to permit inclusion of the effects of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), halocarbons, and water-vapor–air molecular broadening (foreign broaden...
