Since discharge limits are becoming stricter for industrial wastes, textile manufacturers are searching for 3fficient and economical methods of pollution reduction. This is typical of :he situation facing the textile ndustry, especially in the area of :olor pollution emitted into the zarth's waterways. Ozone treatment ;o remove color from wastewater :ould be a solution to the problem of

Background & Aims: Today, toxic effluents have created ecological and health problems in and around the industrial cities resulting in death of nearby living organisms. The aim of this research was to increase the elimination of copper and zinc from copper factory effluents in Kerman/Iran through mutation inducing in metal-resistant bacteria by using Acriflavine, Acridine orange and Ethidium br...

This study compares the values of the critical air pollution indicators (including-sulphur dioxide, smoke, total deposited matter, gaseous fluorides, fluorides, and manganese in suspended particulates and deposited matter) measured in Sibenik for years 1989/90 when the industry was working with full capacity, and for years 1994/95 and 1995/96 when most plants were shut down due to Serbian aggre...

This technical paper used rank correlation analysis to link the spatial distribution of sites and emissions associated with industrial pollution sources, derived from the National Pollution Inventory (NPI), to Indigenous status and socio-economic disadvantage characteristics of communities, derived from Australian Bureau of Statistics indicators. Specifically, this analysis considered the distr...

The concentrations of As, Hg, Co, Cr and Cd were tested for each soil sample, and their spatial patterns were analyzed by the semivariogram approach of geostatistics and geographical information system technology. Multivariate statistic approaches (principal component analysis and cluster analysis) were used to identify heavy metal sources and their spatial pattern. Principal component analysis...

Publically accessible pollution databases, such as the Australian National Pollutant Inventory, contain information on chemical emissions released by industrial facility and diffuse sources. They are meant to enable public scrutiny of industrial activity, which in turn, is meant to lead to industries reducing their pollution. In Australia, however, concerns have been consistently raised that th...

Urbanization is typically accompanied by the relocation and reconstruction of industrial areas due to limited space and environmental requirements, particularly in the case of a capital city. Shougang Group, one of the largest steel mill operators in China, was relocated from Beijing to Hebei Province. To study the thermal environmental changes at the Shougang industrial site before and after r...

Multidisciplinary research into statistical and soft computing models is detailed that analyses data on inmissions of atmospheric pollution in urban areas. The research analyzes the impact on atmospheric pollution of an extended bank holiday weekend in Spain. Levels of atmospheric pollution are classified in relation to the days of the week, seeking to differentiate between working days and non...

Environmental regulators have access to a large set of policy tools and instruments to create incentives for industrial facilities to abate pollution. Command and control is one approach where pollution standards for emissions or effluence are set, and fines and penalties are assessed against non-compliant facilities. Other options include pollution charges, tradable permits, voluntary particip...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although the deleterious effects of air pollution from fossil fuel combustion have been demonstrated in many Western nations, fewer studies have been conducted in Asia. The Public Health and Air Pollution in Asia (PAPA) project assessed the effects of short-term exposure to air pollution on daily mortality in Bangkok, Thailand, and in three cities in China: Hong Kong, ...
