Did smoke from the Kuwait oil well fires affect Iranian archaeological heritage?
The combustion of crude oil produces a wide range of pollutants, including gases, volatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, acid compounds (e.g., sulfuric acid), and soot. Several of these pollutants have been linked with the deterioration and blackening of monuments. The paper reports the results of an investigation on the causes of the soiling of cultural remains at import...
متن کاملApplication of GIS for Mapping Oil-Contaminated Soil in Kuwait
Contamination of the environment in Kuwait occurred in 1990-1991 during the Iraqi invasion and due to explosion of more than 700 oil wells. Oil contamination caused serious damage to the environment. This study was conducted to estimate the extent and volume of contaminated soil by using remote sensing, GIS application and field survey.. A map of the area was developed by GIS showing four types...
متن کاملDirectional and Spectral Reflectance of the Kuwait Oil-Fire Smoke
The angular reflectance pattern of the Kuwait oil-fire smoke was measured from an aircraft at 13 discrete wavelengths between 0.5 and 2.3 pm. Measurements at 0.75 and 1.64 pm showed that the reflectance of the smoke layer was about 12% in the nadir direction with considerable limb brightening toward the horizon. Furthermore, these observations revealed a backscattering maximum in the antisolar ...

have to be considered. The first, which has been developed in the preceding section, is that passive smoking could act to disclose an asthmatic state that was so far asymptomatic. The second issue lies in the natural history of asthma. Following Martinez et al.’s publications, it has become obvious that transient wheezing could occur in non-atopic infants exposed to passive smoking. Because the...
متن کاملBiomonitoring of United States Army soldiers serving in Kuwait in 1991.
Biomarkers of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure and genetic biomarkers of potential cancer susceptibility were determined in a group of United States Army soldiers who were deployed to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia in 1991 in the aftermath of the Persian Gulf War. Because hundreds of oil well fires were still burning, there was concern that ground troops stationed in Kuwait might be expo...
