The aim of the paper is to compare results obtained by experiments and numerical analysis for vehicle exhaust pollutant emissions and concentrations in urban area. Special attention was plaid to problems of vehicle pollutant emission and dispersion caused by cold start. For description of emission sources a multi-point model was applying. In the model every vehicle is treated as a single moveab...

Conventional approaches to stormwater quality evaluation combine continuous flow rate monitoring and automated sample collection for chemical analysis to derive an event mean concentration for each pollutant of concern. This approach requires expensive flow monitoring and automated sample collection equipment and the costly analysis of high numbers of water samples. Consequently, such monitorin...

This paper presents (1) general considerations related to the development of two mathematical models for non-conservative transport of nitrate and ammonium under unsteady water flow conditions; (2) their application to predict the transport of pollutant in both customary and accidental pollutant release circumstances; and (2) a discussion related to models use in water quality management. The s...

This paper focuses on the transient analysis of nonlinear dispersion of a pollutant ejected by an external source into a laminar flow of an incompressible fluid in a channel. The influence of density variation with pollutant concentration is approximated according to the Boussinesq approximation, and the nonlinear governing equations of momentum and pollutant concentration are obtained. The pro...

In this paper, a pollution regulation game model under multiple principal-agent among government, pollutant treatment enterprise and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is developed to study the pollution regulation mechanism under centralized treatment mode. The optimal regulation mechanism is obtained through theoretic and numeric analysis. It is found that with the supervision costs on pollu...

Background and Objectives : Ethylbenzene (EB) is a dangerously organic compound which the presence of this pollutant in water solutions can be considered as an environmental and public health hazard. In this study, nano magnetic particles (Fe 3 O 4 ) were used as an adsorbent to remove ethylbenzene from aqueous solutions. Methods : The specification of the adsorbent was investigated by transmis...

Pollution levels and the effect of air pollution on human health can be modified by synoptic weather type and aeroallergens. We investigated the effect modification of aeroallergens on the association between CO, O3, NO2, SO2, PM10 and PM2.5 and asthma hospitalisation rates in seven synoptic weather types using single air pollutant models, adjusted for the effect of aeroallergens and stratified...

This paper proposes an optimal transmission expansion planning (TEP) which is based on determining share of each line in merchandizing surplus (MS) of system, determining by Independent System Operator (ISO). The more share of a line in MS of system denotes the priority of a line for expansion. The procedure of determining MS of each line in a power system is based on determining the MS share o...

In this research, nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles (NFNs) are prepared through coprecipitation method, and applied for adsorption removal of a model organic pollutant, methyl orange (MO). The characterization of t...
