Mexico City’s air pollution is a persistent and pervasive environmental problem that has imposed health and economic costs on society. With Mexico’s expenditures on controls calculated in several millions of pesos per year and slow progress toward compliance with air quality standards, a critical need exits for better and more effective abatement strategies. With the current Federal Environment...

Becoming a sustainable enterprise, among other things, requires the firm to adopt a different approach to both pollution and industrial accidents. Pollution Prevention/Cleaner Production is intervention earlier in the production process than end-of-pipe control of pollution and waste, and takes the form of input substitution, process changes and final product reformulation to prevent the gradua...

Atmospheric corrosion poses a significant problem with regard to destruction of various materials, especially metals. Observations made over the past decades suggest that the world's climate is changing. Besides global warming, there are also changes in other parameters. For example, average annual precipitation increased by nearly 10% over the course of the 20th century. In Europe, the most si...

background: soil serves as a major reservoir for contaminants as it can bind to various chemicals. the aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of some metals (cd, cu, fe and v) in soil samples collected from different stations of ahvaz industrial complex ii to determine the natural and anthropogenic contribution of metal in the soil. methods: this was an experimental study that carried out...

Smog pollution is one of China’s most pressing public health issues today and has therefore received significant attention worldwide. Not only cities but also villages in China are suffering from smog pollution, especially since 2013. However, there is limited information available about public awareness on smog pollution in China, especially for where it concerns the residents living in villag...

background : noise pollution and workers' noise exposure are common in industrial factories in iran. in order to reduce this noise pollution, evaluation and investigation of noise emission are both necessary. in this study, different noise mapping methodsare used for determining the distribution of noise.   materials and methods : in the present study, for preparing a noise map in a hall o...

This paper examines and quantifies the complex linkages between industrial activity, environmental regulations and air pollution in China. We utilize a little used dataset of Chinese industry specific emissions for a variety of pollutants between 1996 and 2003. Our analysis allows us to investigate the role played by different determinants of emissions intensity. We find pollution intensity to ...

The assimilation potential (assimilative capacity) of the atmosphere can be represented in two ways: one as the ventilation coefficient and the other as the dispersion potential of emission loads discharged into the region. In the present study, the atmospheric assimilation potential of a typical urban area in Kochi city has been determined with respect to sulfur dioxide (SO(2)). The ventilatio...

the problem of environmental pollution is of everybody's concern. pollution of zarjoub river in northern iran is most often cause by the uncontrolled disposal of sewage and other wastes resulting from domestic uses of water, industrial wastes containing a variety of pollutants, agricultural affluent from animal husbandry, drainage of irrigation water and urban run-off. a study was carried out t...
