Determination of Environmental Pollutants

Pollutants Hazard Potential and Environmental Vulnerability of Qarah Su River

The main purpose of the study is determination of the pollutants hazard potential as well as environmental vulnerability of Qarah Su River. First the most significant pollutant sources in the Qarah Su river watershed were identified and then accordingly the pollution hazard potential rate was calculated in Universal Ranking System Model setting. Then, by generalizing the algebraic sum of the re...

Evaluation of Organic Environmental Pollutants Detected in Human Milk

Human milk is an important food source for infant because it contains a large number of nutritional substances, growth and immune factors. However, human milk may be contaminated with environmental pollutants when mothers are exposed to these pollutants. In particular, lipophilic organic pollutants are likely to accumulate in milk fat. Therefore, the determination of the organic pollutants leve...

Fuzzy Wastewater Quality Index Determination for Environmental Quality Assessment under Uncertain and Vagueness Conditions

Utilization of water in different parts of industrial life cycles brings a huge concern on environmental water and wastewater pollutions. In this research, environmental quality assessment of wastewater is studied using fuzzy logic. Fuzzy appliance is due to existance of statistical considerations (including standard deviations), various uncertainties, non-linearity and complexity of functions....

Effects of formalin-preservation on element concentrations in animal tissues.

Determination of the exposure level of environmental pollutants is essential in studies on environmental toxicology. If concentrations of exposed pollutants in tissues are not affected by formalin-preservation, a preserved specimen will provide not only histopathological information but also the exposure level of environmental pollutants. In the present study, concentrations of nine elements in...
