[ 1 ] - Organic dye removal from aqueous media by using acid modified Clinoptilolite
Dyes are an important class of pollutants which when discharged into water resources can be toxic to the aquatic environment and cause serious problems for public health. Various treatment technologies such as adsorption are in use. For this reason, clinoptilolite was used as a low-cost adsorbent to remove color from aqueous solution. Clinoptilolite was modified with sulfuric and phosphoric aci...
[ 2 ] - Prevalence of amoxicillin resistance by Enterococci found in the hospital wastewater
Enterococci are found worldwide and are considered to be opportunistic pathogens. Antimicrobial resistance in these bacteria is increasing and is associated with their capability to sustain in the wastewater. We, therefore, aimed to determine the antimicrobial resistance of Enterococcus spp. that are isolated from the wastewater and clinical specimens. Isolation, identification, and de...
[ 3 ] - Health impact assessment of exposure to PM10 in Ilam city using Air Q software
Air pollution is a major environmental issue in the world that can be harmful for human health. The aim of this study was to determine the health impacts of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10μm (PM10) in Ilam in 2013 and 2014. The air pollution data were obtained from the Ilam Department of Environmental Protection. The data were analyzed by Excel software, and...
[ 4 ] - Assessment of DMFT and its influencing factors in guidance school students in Pirnshahr city, Iran
DMFT index is one of the best dental epidemiological indices, which represent the oral health status of the population and has been accepted by authorities and international organizations such as the World Health Organization. The aim of this study was to assess the permanent teeth DMFT index in guidance school students to determine the influencing factors such as brushing, tea and sugar consum...
[ 5 ] - Removal of nickel and total chromium using Escherichia coli biofilm supported on clinoptilolite
-Biofilm is communities of microorganisms attached to the surface and is able to concentrate metal species within their cell structure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to produce Escherichia coli biofilm on zeolite (clinoptilolite) and evaluate its ability for nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) adsorption from aqueous solutions. A laboratory-scale batch model was used for biodsorption assay. Th...
