dry and wet atmospheric depositions as well as urban surface soil samples were collected in eight different land use zones (during 2010) of the most important and largest industrial city, southwest iran for determining cadmium, chromium, lead and zinc. the average of cd, cr, pb and zn concentrations in the study area for wet precipitation were 17.8 μg/l, 49.97 μg/l, 2.31 μg/l, and 0.53 μg/l, re...

Suspended particle matter (SPM) includes phytoplankton and non-coloring Suspended particle matter. Its concentrations, size, distribution is very complex, and so it has not strict theory to describe the matter character. The method of using remote sensing technology to monitor water quality by obtaining the suspended particulate matter (SPM) concentration was studied in this paper, and the inve...

Sediment, suspended matter, river water and ground water samples were collected at twelve sites in the drainage valley of the Nile River, around Sohag (Central Egypt) and close to the Aswan High Dam. Elemental composition of the river water (27 elements), ground water (eight elements), suspended matter (12 elements) and sediments (12 elements) was studied. Aswan High Dam construction, agricultu...

OBJECTIVE We compared the adverse effects of two types of real ambient particles; i.e., total suspended particles from an electrostatic precipitator of a steel mill and fine air particles from an urban ambient particulate matter of 2.5 µm, on mucociliary clearance. METHOD Mucociliary function was quantified by mucociliary transport, ciliary beating frequency and the amount of acid and neutral...

this work investigates the response of two-dimensional, turbulent boundary layer characteristics over a flat plate to the presence of suspended particulate matter. both phases are assumed to be interacting continua. that is, the carrier fluid equations are considered to be coupled with the particle-phase equations. a finite-difference technique with non-uniform grid has been employed for the so...

In this paper, composition analysis using scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive Xray spectroscopy analysis (SEM-EDX) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for particulate matter in diesel exhaust is presented. Conventionally, scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) has been widely used to obtain particle size distribution of the suspended particles. However, real-time analysi...
