original article     the aim of this study was to design and build a software for noise propagation prediction (indoor and from indoor to outdoor spaces) which is being commonly used in industry.  in this regard, firstly a mathematical complex model was created based on existing relationships about noise propagation in indoor spaces and transmission through the walls and propagation in outdoor ...

Economic integration in the Southeast Asian region has been rapidly progressing resulting in an accelerating fragmentation of the production processes. Thai multinational corporations have moved factories over their national borders. Similar fragmentation arose along the US-Mexico border from the 1970s and resulted in serious industrial pollution in Mexico along the national border. This paper ...

Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, is home to the U.S.–Mexico border’s largest maquiladora labor force, and also its worst air pollution. We marshal two types of evidence to examine the link between maquiladoras and air pollution in Ciudad Juárez, and in its sister city, El Paso, Texas. First, we use a publicly available sector-level emissions inventory for Ciudad Juárez to determine the importance of a...

process mediated by or involving microorganisms in which a product of economic value is obtained is called fermentation (Casida, Jr., 1968). The terms industrial microbiology and fermentation are virtually synonymous in their scope, objectives and activities. The microbial product may be microbial cells (living or dead), microbial biomass, and components of microbial cells, intracellular or ext...

This paper describes the results of an industrial pollution prevention pilot project in Nebraska. The goal of the project is to demonstrate that through proper management and operating practices, that industrial pollution can effectively be reduced significantly. The net effect of this pollution prevention program is to improve the economic worth of the industry by lowering expenditures on poll...

The advances in air quality modelling have been substantial in the last decade. Nowadays, air quality modelling systems are capable to provide accurate information on the impact of different sources in relation to the total air pollution concentrations in real-time and in forecasting modes. In this contribution we show the results of the impact of five different industrial plants on a mesoscale...

Water of River Kosi in stretch of 35 Kms at Rampur was studied for pollution by determining various water quality parameters, for all three seasons viz. winter, summer and rainy season. The river is subjected to severe domestic and industrial pollution at Kashipur (U.A). This polluted water is carried down stream to Rampur (U.P.). The pH range is 7.3 to 7.9.The organic pollution is mild as indi...

The paper discusses different case studies prepared in the last ten years in Pakistan on the subject of ‘industrial pollution and impacts on ecological setting’. On the basis of this discussion paper draws inferences, and extrapolates them under different alternatives to stipulate their implications for ‘Shaping the Sustainable Millennium’ for Pakistan and lessons learnt for other developing co...

Industrial pollution is often considered to be one of the prime factors contributing to air, water and soil pollution. Sectoral pollution loads (ton/yr) into different media (i.e. air, water and land) in Lagos were estimated using Industrial Pollution Projected System (IPPS). These were further studied using Artificial neural Networks (ANNs), a data mining technique that has the ability of dete...
