Drinking water has received considerable attention recently. However, misuse and mismanagement have resulted in a rapid and widespread decline in source-water quality and supply. Water quality guidelines can be used to identify constituents of concern in water, to determine the levels to which the constituents of water must be treated for drinking purposes. Membrane technology for the water cyc...

background: in this study, the chemical quality of water in some sub-basins of gamasiab river has been investigated for a long term planning of water consuming in the region . methods: the area is about 11 x10 3 km 2 , located in ramadan and kermanshah, the two western regions of iran. in this regard the results of the water samples, which were collected on the outlet of the 13 hydrometrical st...

djendjen river is one of the largest rivers in the region of jijel (algeria). human activities such as urban discharges, industrial, agricultural, and livestock have significant effects on the quality of water. the present study attempts to evaluate the quality of water along the banks of the djendjen river at different sampling sites, using physico-chemical and bacteriological methods. the col...

background: chemical and microbial quality of water used in hemodialysis play key roles in a number of dialysis-related complications. in order to avoid the complications and to guarantee safety and health of patients therefore, vigorous control of water quality is essential. the objective of present study was to investigate the chemical and bacteriological characteristics of water used in dial...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chemical fertilizer and composite of organic and chemical fertilizer on lernaeasis in cultured cyprinids was performed in two treatments and three replications in each, in 6 one-hectare ponds. in first treatment only chemical fertilizer and in the second treatment the composite of organic and chemical fertilizer were used. the other rearing...

The aim of this research is to build a portable system to perform real-time analysis of waste water samples. Thus, that can significantly improve existing waste water treatment technology. In waste water treatment plant, an important parameter, chemical oxygen demand is needed to be measured. The amount of chemical oxygen demand determines the degree of water pollution by organic material. The ...

aims: in the past few decades, more attention has been paid to clean up soils polluted with heavy metals by plants. a serious problem in this way is the amount of heavy metals uptake by plants. this study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of 3 local plants of mazandaran province, iran, in reducing and controlling the soil’s heavy metals. instrument & methods: the removal amount of thr...

background: antioxidant activities of plant extracts are being studied to increase the shelf life of fish products. some plants such as urtica dioica l. (nettle) can be a good source of antioxidants. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of hydroalcoholic and water extracts of nettle leaf on the chemical properties of superchilled minced meat of the common kilka fish (clupeone...

Drinkability of water is determined based on its physical, chemical, and microbial properties. Undesirable changes in these parameters could threaten the health of consumers. The present study aimed to assess the physical, chemical, and microbial parameters of the drinking water sources in Sanandaj, Iran and compare them with the national standard values. This descriptive, cross-sectional study...
