Population growth and the proliferation of roadways in Southern California have facilitated a glut of mobile air pollution sources (cars and trucks), resulting in substantial atmospheric pollution. Despite successful efforts over the past 40 years to reduce pollution, an alarming set of health effects attributable to air pollution have been described in Southern California. The Children's Healt...

Rapid urbanization and economic development inevitably lead to light pollution, which has become a universal environmental issue. In order to reveal the spatiotemporal patterns and evolvement rules of light pollution in China, images from 1992 to 2012 were selected from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) and systematically corrected to ensure con...

A modeling study using hourly meteorological and pollution concentration data from across the coterminous United States demonstrates that urban trees remove large amounts of air pollution that consequently improve urban air quality. Pollution removal (O3, PM10, NO2, SO2, CO) varied among cities with total annual air pollution removal by US urban trees estimated at 711,000 metric tons ($3.8 bill...

to assess the health impact of air pollution on bejaia population in the north of algeria, we carried out a descriptive epidemiologic inquiry near the medical establishments of three areas.from hospital admissions registers, we collected data on the hospital mortality and admissions relating to the various cardiorespiratory pathologies generated by this type of pollution. in parallel, data on t...

This paper empirically tests pollution abatement efforts of Chinese industries in response to pollution regulations, especially the pollution charge instrument practiced in China for about 20 years. The impacts of pollution regulation on abatement expenditures are examined for one thousand large and medium Chinese industrial polluters. The results show that plant-level expenditures on end-of-pi...

the agricultural non-point source pollution shows some special features such as dispersion, randomness, fuzziness and cumulative compared with industry and other point source pollution. Owing to lacking complete and systematic data on agricultural sources of pollution in the long-term, Agricultural non-point source pollution load of the new method "IS (Investigation-Statistics) estimation metho...

Abstract Bacteria cellulose (BC) is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable material. Additionally, it cheap, easily accessible, renewable resource. It possesses exceptional properties widely used in variety of industries, including textiles, paper manufacturing, food, pharmaceutical, waste treatment. The purpose this study was to assess the capacity for bioadsorption pure BC i...

Abstract The present work was done with dual intentions. primary aim to attenuate the acid corrosion of 6061 aluminum alloy by green approach. While doing so, an attempt made use expiry date pharmaceutical product Streptomycin (SEPT) injection. This unique method could provide best possible pathway for utility otherwise useless, non-eco-friendly drugs. Corrosion inhibition studies were performe...

Abstract When medicines enter the environment, they harm living species and ecosystems. Improper disposal of household pharmaceutical waste increases concentration pharmaceuticals in environment thus their detrimental impacts. Since 2004, EU has obliged its Member States to establish ‘an appropriate collection system’ for unused and/or expired medication. However, as no implementation guideline...
