steel industry is one of the most consumption of energy in the world, which is related to melting furnace which result environmental pollution. we calculate the energy consumption and capital cost of dust collectors of venturi scrubber (vs) and electrostatic precipitator (esp) which are connected to melting furnace in respect to industrial ecology for selection of appropriate dust collection sy...

Dust samples collected annually for 5 years from 55 sites in southern Nevada and California provide the first regional source of information on modem rates of dust deposition, grain size, and mineralogical and chemical composition relative to climate and to type and lithology of dust source. The average silt and clay flux (rate of deposition) in southern Nevada and southeastern California range...

Constraining the physcial properties of dust requires observations at submm wavelengths. This will provide important insight into the gas content of galaxies. We mapped NGC 1365 at 870 μm with LABOCA, the Large APEX Bolometer Camera, allowing us to probe the central mass concentration as well as the rate at which the gas flows to the center. We obtained the dust physical properties both globall...

Children are exposed to a wide range of chemicals in their everyday environments, including the preschool. In this study, we evaluated the levels of phthalates, non-phthalate plasticizers and bisphenols in dust from 100 Swedish preschools and identified important exposure factors in the indoor environment. In addition, children's total exposure to these chemicals was determined by urine analysi...

Exposure to bioaerosols in occupational settings is associated with a range of adverse health effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the exposure levels to dust and endotoxin of people working in two cucumber nurseries and two tomato nurseries. Exposure was measured for greenhouse workers (n = 70) mainly working on harvesting cucumbers and tomatoes and clearing the plants after the h...

Fugitive dust is generated along unpaved mine roads from intermitlent equipment traffic. Typically. the majority of such traffic consists of trucks hauling either mine product or waste from the surface mine pit andlor the processing plant. Fugitive dust generated along these unpaved mine roads includes particles of all sizes which become airborne. The potential hazards include the deleterious e...

Dust storm is one of the criteria for air pollution, and pollution by Heavy Metal(HM) is one of the major environmental problems in the world. The objective of the present study was to assess some of HMs concentrations in the leaves and bark of cypress and atmospheric falling dust along the Yazd highway, Yazd Province, Iran. The total concentrations of cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), ni...

We report BV R surface photometry of a lenticular galaxy, NGC 4753 with prominent dust lanes. We have used the multicolor broadband photometry to study dust-extinction as a function of wavelength and derived the extinction curve. We find the extinction curve of NGC 4753 to be similar to the Galactic extinction curve in the visible region which implies that the sizes of dust grains responsible f...

the flame propagation through a coal dust-air mixture in a spherical vessel was studied by means of a one-dimensional, arrhenius-type kinetics and quasi-steady model. the model includes the evaporation of the volatile matter of dust particles into a known gaseous fuel (methane) and the single-stage reaction of the gas-phase combustion. effect of venting devices as safety idea and the radiation ...

the impacts of dust and sand storms (dss) on people, crops, livestock, infrastructure and health are well documented. data have accumulated on the deleterious effects of dust aerosols when they settle on plants. sand blasting of low growing plants is a common cause of failure in reforestation efforts. burial of plants by moving sands are also a cause of much damage. the physics of moving sand a...
