Air is an important component for the survival of living things, especially humans. However, air quality has decreased due to pollution. The harmful elements that enter atmosphere are Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur (SO2), Particulates (PM10), and Ozone (O3). Noise defined as unwanted sound or so it disturbs endangers health. Sources noise divided into moving stationary sou...

Noise and vibration present increasing environmental problems to society. Noise and vibration are hazards to human when they occur at high levels, or continue for a long time. High noise levels can cause hearing loss, headaches, dizziness, high blood pressure, loss of concentration, heart disease...etc. There are many researches addressed effect of pumping stations' noise and vibration on perfo...

Introduction: Polymer gel dosimeters contain chemical materials sensitive to the radiation which are polymerized by the radiation as a function of absorbed dose. So information of spatial dose distribution can be extracted by imaging from irradiated gel. Among imaging techniques, computed tomography (CT) poses as an attractive method because of practical advantages such as acce...

The intensification of transport in the urban environment has generated an increase oflevel noise. Therefore, the EC has implemented an environmental policy for the reducing the noiselevel. Thus, the limit values acceptable for the noise levels in urban areas are 50 dB. To determine the noise level for these environments were designed and made various systems to measure level of noise, the majo...

researchers suggested that the individual fit test be conducted to estimate the protection effectiveness of workers’ hearing protection device (hpd) while working. practically, it is convenient to conduct single, instead of multiple, fit test measurement. this study examined if a single trial of earplug fit test can represent multiple performances. additionally, it investigated how much noise e...

background and aim : the quick speech in noise (q-sin) test have been designed to evalu­ate individuals’ ability to recognize speech in noise. this study established to evaluate the test-retest reliability and equivalency of the five test lists of the persian q-sin test in subjects with sensory hearing loss (shl) and normal hearing individuals. methods : this cross-sectional study was per­forme...

A destructive V-shaped thunderstorm occurred over the Marche Region, in Central Italy, on 15 September 2022. Twelve people died during event, and damage to properties was extensive because small Misa River flooded area. The synoptic-scale conditions that caused this disastrous event are analysed go back presence of tropical cyclone Danielle eastern Atlantic. performance weather research forecas...
