Atmospheric pollution has recently drawn significant attention due to its proven adverse effects on public health and the environment. This concern been aggravated specifically in Southeast Asia increasing vehicular use, industrial activity, agricultural burning practices. Consequently, elevated PM2.5 concentrations have become a matter of intervention for national authorities who addressed nee...

Preservation of water quality, particularly in areas with inadequate water resources is considered as one of the principles of planning in integrated water management. In Kuhdasht, a region at the west of Iran, groundwater and spring water resources are the major contributors of drinking and irrigation water supply. The aim of this study was to determine the suitability and mapping of springs a...

Information about soil properties helps the farmers to adopt effective and efficient farming practices, which can increase higher yields with optimum usage of farm resources. An attempt has been made in this paper predict using geospatial kriging approaches. This study mainly focuses on predicting pH different methods. Soil dramatically affects many other processes, such as nitrification denitrifi...

Abstract The problem of noise pollution in Baghdad, the capital city Iraq, is getting worse every day as a result increased volume traffic. This presents considerable risk, particularly on main roads that connect densely populated neighborhoods such Al-Sadr City district with central capital. In order to inform decision-makers urban development and environmental policy about high values require...

In this paper, results from three different interpolation techniques based on Geostatistics (ordinary kriging, kriging with external drift and conditional simulation) and one deterministic method (inverse distances) for mapping total monthly rainfall are compared. The study data set comprised total monthly rainfall from 1998 till 2001 corresponding to a maximum of 121 meteorological stations ir...

Soil protection and the increase intensification of agricultural production require detailed knowledge soil properties their variability. On other hand, complexity associated with traditional mapping processes can lead to implementation inappropriate practices that degrade this resource. Therefore, it is necessary use techniques provide more information farmers managers. In study, geostatistica...

This paper presented the levels of PM2.5 and PM10 in different stations at the city of Sabzevar, Iran. Furthermore, this study was an attempt to evaluate spatial interpolation methods for determining the PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in the city of Sabzevar. Particulate matters were measured by Haz-Dust EPAM at 48 stations. Then, four interpolating models, including Radial Basis Functions (RBF)...
