background: this study was performed to evaluate the levels of heavy metals in the livers and kidneys of cattle, sheep and goats from a mining region in the west of iran. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 90 samples were collected from the livers and kidneys of cattle (n=30), sheep (n=30) and goats (n=30) from a slaughterhouse in hamedan city, western iran. lead, cadmium, manganese, zinc,...

results the dna-dna hybridization experiments between isolate tbz3, h. denitrificans and h. saccharevitans revealed relatedness levels of 57% and 65%, respectively. according to gc-ms results, tbz3 degrades paa to benzene, hexyl butanoate, 3-methyl-1-heptanol and hexyl hexanoate. temperature 32.92°c, ph 6.76, and salinity 14% are the optimum conditions for biodegradation with a confidence level...

Following the rapid economic growth after World War II, diseases associated with environmental pollution frequently occurred due to delayed implementation of countermeasures against environmental pollution. These diseases are exemplified by Minamata disease, Itai-itai disease, chronic arsenic poisoning, and Yokkaichi asthma. After multiple episodes of these pollution-related diseases were exper...

as the main actor of implementing energy saving and pollution abatement, corporations and their response to the policy are studied in this paper. we find that corporate properties as scale, ownership, current environmental performance on energy using and pollution, target market and listed situation have impact on the corporate responding conduct and progress. especially, current environmental ...

introduction the current environmental challenges one of the main concern of is humanity. the issue of when more added concern has been associated with complications. research suggests the environmental challenges are rooted in factors in the different levels of global, regional and local levels are considered. in this case although many studies have been in different aspects of urban environme...

Urban air pollution is an important environmental factor that is effecting a large portion of urban dwellers in developing economies. Due to the limitations of dose and impact nature, direct measurement of negative implications of urban air pollution is difficult and WHO has developed indirect methods such as Environmental Burden of Disease. However, in this study to measure the economic costs ...

This research is aimed at analizing the effect of environmental management policy implementation on water pollution control to improve the environmental quality. The analytical method used is this study is a literature review that uses effectual causal analysis approach based on literature review, with the object of research conducted in Garut District, Indonesia. The result of discussion shows...

We study a stochastic, discrete-time, economy-environment integrated model, where human activity affects the evolution of pollution over time. We assume that exogenous i.i.d. environmental shocks determine the rate of pollution transfer. We show that the pollution to capital ratio dynamics can be read as an iterated function system converging to an invariant distribution supported on a (asymmet...

The paper presents a novel approach which aims to support the training of decision makers in maritime environmental pollution policies via an intelligent tutoring system that focuses on the automatic generation of self-assessment material. More specifically, the paper reports on the automatic construction of multiple-choice question tests from knowledge bases i.e. domain ontologies, instances, ...
