For most species, evolutionary adaptation is not expected to be sufficiently rapid to buffer the effects of human-mediated environmental changes, including environmental pollution. Here we review how key features of populations, the characteristics of environmental pollution, and the genetic architecture underlying adaptive traits, may interact to shape the likelihood of evolutionary rescue fro...

although water and land pollution are very dangerous, air pollution has its own peculiarities due to its transboundary dispersion of pollutants over the entire world. in any well planned urban set up, industrial pollution takes a back seat and vehicular emissions take precedence as the major cause of urban air pollution. in the present study, air pollution tolerance index was calculated for var...

Environmental pollution constitutes a great health hazard to human, animals and plants with local, regional and global implications. Pollution has adverse effects on land, water and its biotic and a biotic components. Effluents from industries are normally considered as the main industrial pollutants containing organic and inorganic compounds The increasing agricultural reuse of treated effluen...

The industrial sector is a major contributor to resource consumption and environmental pollution in China. The energy-intensive industrial development and energy structure are dominated by coal, which has produced an enormous amount of industrial pollutants in China, and put great pressure on the ecological environment. Hence, improving the performance of industrial green development (PIGD) has...

An industrial complex specially located in coastal area seriously affect on air quality near residential area. Gwang-yang bay, where is the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, is one of the densely accumulated industrial areas. And air pollution over the area also increase with the density of industrial complex. Since petrochemical industry occupied major part of the Gwang-yang bay complex, ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Jamalabad district of Lowshan is one of the ancient industrial zones of the country with regard to having Lowshan industrial estate, Shahid Beheshti power plant, and the locality of two cement production factories. Hence, the study of some persistent pollutants such as heavy can be extremely valuable in terms of public health and environmental issues. Materia...

background: one of europe’s most well-developed industrial regions is found in the republic of bulgaria. the industrialization of the region has a big impact on air pollution. thermal power plant “maritza east” (the largest of its kind in southeastern europe), the army training range, machine manufacturers, household heating and high volume of automobile traffic are all major sources of polluti...

Air pollution is a major concern of new civilized world, which has a serious toxicological impact on human health and the environment. It has a number of different emission sources, but motor vehicles and industrial processes contribute the major part of air pollution. According to the World Health Organization, six major air pollutants include particle pollution, ground-level ozone, carbon mon...

Industrial activities have also long contributed harmful pollutants to the air, waterways and land, but for years few were concerned. Specific incidents began to raise concern among the populace, such as the 1952 London smog blamed for the death of 12,000 citizens, but they were generally considered aberrations. During the 1960s, a number of industrial accidents and widely publicized pollution ...

Industrial air pollution is of major concern to upcoming Indian cities like Trivandrum and Pune in terms of industrialization and urbanization. Even the urban population is exposed to ambient air pollutants; on the other hand the sub-rurals contribute to the cigarette smoke and kitchen cooking fuels. A quantitative analysis on the mean concentration of SO2, NOX, and SPM in four different indust...
