Abatement: A measure or set of measures designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards or lead-based paint. Abatement strategies include the removal of lead-based paint, enclosure, encapsulation, replacement of building components coated with lead-based paint, removal of lead-contaminated dust, and removal of lead-contaminated soil or overlaying of soil with a durable covering such ...

current global water shortage and water pollution problem are some of the crucial issues in theworld, especially in the arid zones. the wastewater reuse was investigated the efficiency of fecal coliform(fc) removal using the intermittent media infiltration (imi) with varying soil content and natural porousmedia (sand, zeolite, vermicompost and charcoal), and its prediction was introduced by app...

Semi Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) contamination in soil was a widespread problem in China due to industrial pollutants leak and discharge. A pilot study of SVE and related combination techniques was demonstrated for soil contaminated with SVOCs. A miniaturization SVE system was applied in research and performance of this extraction system was measurement. The results of the field test sho...

To better understand the long-term effects of species selection and forest management practices on soil quality and soil C retention, we analyzed soil samples from an experimental planting of loblolly (Pinus taeda L.), longleaf (Pinus palustris Mill.), and slash (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) pines under different management intensities in Mississippi. The treatments included stump removal and culti...

In this study the effects of machining parameters such as shearing speed, feed rate, tool diameter and machining depth on different milling strategies i.e. 3D offset, spiral, raster and radial to produce the convex surface made of epoxy/glass composites is investigated. The effects of mentioned strategies on output parameters such as surface roughness and milling removal rate is also studied. T...

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are widely used for their antimicrobial activity and consequently the particles will become environmental contaminants. This study evaluated in sand and soil matrices the toxicity of 10nm spherical Ag NPs (1 and 3 mg Ag/L) toward a beneficial soil bacterium, Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6. In sand, both NP doses resulted in loss in bacterial culturability whereas in a...
