Unbalanced distribution of population in a country like Iran as well as accelerating urbanization and environmental degradation, both arising from incorrect location of industrial areas, are two problems that require appropriate industrial development policies to get resolved. Considering the expansion of industrial areas along with their role in contamination of the environment, it is necessar...

Industrial and mining activities have been recognized as the major sources of soil heavy metal contamination. This study introduced an improved Nemerow index method based on the Nemerow and geo-accumulation index. Taking a typical industrial and mining gathering area in Tianjin (China) as example, this study then analyzed the contamination sources as well as the ecological and integrated risks....

Optical properties of aerosols including Aerosol optical depth (AOD), Angstrom exponent (AE) and Single scattering albedo (SSA)) were derived analyzed for classifying the identification possible sources with percentage contribution over an urban-industrial city Raipur, India, during year 2019 to 2021. The mean annual values AOD AE 2019–2021 0.53 ± 0.2 1.20 0.33 respectively, highest in summer:(...
