This study explores the adverse impact of air pollution, caused by emissions from brick kilns, on children’s cognitive ability and physical health. A survey children between age 5 12 years was conducted in Peshawar district KP province Pakistan. The concentrations particulate matters (PM10 PM2.5) were found to be higher areas within 3 km radius kilns (treatment group) compared those that are ou...

We consider methods for modeling the temperature fields inside a rotary tubular kiln and in the lining of the oven. These models are used for creating a control system that supports the necessary technological parameters and reduces the heat loss through the kiln body to the environment. Two-dimensional modeling of the processes inside the kiln confirms the applicability of a unidimensional mod...

Water treatment plants produce a huge amount of sludge, which are ultimately disposed to the nearest water channel, leading harmful effects. This unmanaged wastewater plant sludge (WTS) results in social and environmental concerns. Therefore, utilization WTS construction activities can be viable option for management waste sustainable infrastructures. The main aim this study was investigate pot...

In June 2012, the Piaoshan kiln site was excavated in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, which hitherto proved to be the earliest known Chinese proto-porcelain kiln. Judging from the decorative patterns of unearthed impressed stoneware and proto-porcelain sherds, the site was determined to date to the late Xia (c. 2070-c. 1600 BC), the first dynasty of China. Here, we report on proton-induced X-ray emi...

Brick kilns add enormous quantities of organic pollutants to the air that can cause serious health issues, especially in developing countries; poor quality is associated with community problems, yet receives no attention Northern Pakistan. The present study, therefore, assessed chemical composition and investigated impacts pollution from brick on public health. A field-based investigation pollu...
