the petrochemical industry is the most important and most widely active industries in the country. due to the variety and complexity of industrial products, it also produces a wild range of pollutants. mercury waste disposal from chlor-alkali units is one of the fundamental problems of this industry. various studies have shown that phytoremediation system for removal of mercury from aqueous sol...

Pollen grains can play an important role in allergic diseases and many studies have revealed that allergenicity increases in industrial cities. In Bushehr province in Iran Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh. has grown in two regions, Bordekhoon (Mond protected Area) and Assaluyeh (Marine National Park of Nayband). Assaluyeh (polluted area) is an industrial region with petrochemical factories that ...

Because of the breadth of the subject, the problems concerning the treatment of waste water are limited to those of (i) the production of organic chemicals which are produced on a petrochemical basis in chemical plants, (ii) the production of various derivatives selected according to their importance and (iii) the production of some of the more important vinyl polymers. Specific quantities of w...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous pollutants presenting a public health risk, particularly to children, a vulnerable population. PAHs have genotoxic and carcinogenic properties, which depend on their metabolism. Many enzymes involved in PAH metabolism, including CYP1A1, CYP1B1, GSTM and GSTT are polymorphic, which may modulate the activation/deactivation of these compounds....

After an earthquake, the fire risk of petrochemical enterprises is higher than that of other enterprises as it involves production processes with inflammable and explosive characteristics. Using Chinese petrochemical enterprises as the research object, this paper uses a literature review and case summaries to study, amongst others, the classification of petrochemical enterprises, the proportion...

moisture and air pollutions intensify metallic and nonmetallic surface corrosions. corroded surfaces exposed to rain washing cause pollution transportation in water and soil environment, especially in industrial areas. investigation of storm runoff quality in pars special economic energy zone (pseez) has shown heavy metals in storm basins of gas refineries and petrochemical industries.in this p...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the relationship between exposure of Korean workers to petrochemicals in the refinery/petrochemical industry and lymphohematopoietic cancers. METHODS The cohort consisted of 8,866 male workers who had worked from the 1960s to 2007 at one refinery and six petrochemical companies located in a refinery/petrochemical com...

background: musa creek, suitable place for spawning of many fish species and other organisms, is one of the most important and voluble ecosystems in the west of iran that received so many attentions due to existents of various industries around this part of persian gulf. previous studies confirmed that marine fish have collected high amounts of pollutants in this area which could be lead to sev...
