The rich regional air-monitoring network of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy has been used to quantify the spatial variability of the main pollutants within urban environments and to analyze the correlations between stations. The spatial variability of the concentrations of the majority of pollutants within the city was very high, making it difficult to differentiate and characterize the urba...

Near all-sky imaging photometry was performed from a boat on the Gulf of Aqaba to measure the night sky brightness in a coastal environment. The boat was not anchored, and therefore drifted and rocked. The camera was mounted on a tripod without any inertia/motion stabilization. A commercial digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera and fisheye lens were used with ISO setting of 6400, with the ex...

There is particular concern in Western Europe about the environmental problems, and urgent and concerted international action is warranted. An evaluation of the present state of pollution requires systematic, compatible data on the present distribution as well as the preindustrial, natural distribution of chemical elements in surface environments. The appliance of overbank sediments from river ...

A chemical factory, using a production technology of acetaldehyde with mercury catalysis, was located southeast of Qingzhen City in Guizhou Province, China. Previous research showed heavy mercury pollution through an extensive downstream area. A current investigation of the mercury distribution in ambient air, soils, and plants suggests that mobile mercury species in soils created elevated merc...

Widespread soil contamination threatens living standards and weakens global efforts towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Detailed mapping is needed to guide effective countermeasures sustainable remediation operations. Here, we review visible infrared reflectance spectroscopy (VIRS) based detection methods in combination with machine learning. To date, proximal, airborne spaceborne...
