ultrasonic technology as an innovative technology may be used for water and wastewater treatment for pollution removal. this technology acts as an advanced oxidation process. application of this technology leads to the decomposition of many com­plex organic compounds to much simpler compounds during physical and chemical compounds during cavitation proc­ess. in this article review, some applica...

Although bentazon is widely used as an agricultural herbicide, it is harmful to humans and poses many environmental threats. This study focused on the treatment of wastewater contaminated with bentazon pesticides using membrane technology. In this regard, low-pressure reverse osmosis (RO) was employed as it has already been used in the removal of other micro-pollutants. The effects of process v...

The St. Antonius Hospital Utrecht/Nieuwegein, the Netherlands, and Philips have announced an important breakthrough in the image-guided treatment of vascular patients. Using an innovative X-ray technology developed by Philips, the hospital’s interventional radiologists were able to dramatically reduce the amount of Xray radiation that patients are exposed to during image-guided endovascular pro...

Hazardous alcohol consumption of children, adolescents and young adults has been increasing for several years in Germany. Alcohol prevention programs are intended to stop this development. For the review of the efficacy of these programs the German Institute for Medical Documentation and Information (DIMDI) has commissioned a health technology assessment (HTA) which has given an international o...

the presence of pharmaceutical compounds in the environment and waste streams has received lots of attention in recent years due to its adverse effects on the health of different organism. the emerging of these compounds in the environment is a growing concern and recent researches have focused on finding new ways for enhancing the pharmaceutical compound’s removal efficiency in the effluent of...
