Owing to environmentally-destructive impact of aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, benzene ethyl, toluene, and xylenes or BTEXs, these materials are classified as hazardous pollutants in the air. This study studies cancer and non-cancer risk in District 12 of Tehran Municipality, through these components for two groups of employees or storekeepers and gas station customers. By measuring pol...

A framework that employs the Volatility Basis Set (VBS) within the Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQ) was applied to predict organic aerosol concentrations from aircraft emissions. This framework was further expanded to include the formation of secondary organic aerosols from semi and intermediate volatile organic compounds which are traditionally missing from emission inventories us...

In this study, we evaluated photosensitized chemistry at the air-sea interface as a source of secondary organic aerosols (SOA). Our results show that, in addition to biogenic emissions, abiotic processes could also be important in the marine boundary layer. Photosensitized production of marine secondary organic aerosol was studied in a custom-built multiphase atmospheric simulation chamber. The...

regarding to the escalating trend of environmental pollutions, especially air pollution in great city of tehran, the perspective and study of the conditions for supply and consumption trends of fuels, with specific to fossil fuels, can lead to formation of significant figures and data. on the other hand, recognition, and if possible, reformation of environmental management schemes in the supply...

With 2.8 billion biomass users globally, household air pollution remains a public health threat in many low- and middle-income countries. However, little evidence on pollution levels and health effects exists in low-income settings, especially slums. This study assesses the levels and sources of household air pollution in the urban slums of Nairobi. This cross-sectional study was embedded in a ...

BACKGROUND The use of non-aqueous organic media is becoming increasingly important in many biotechnological applications in order to achieve process intensification. Such media can be used, for example, to directly extract poorly water-soluble toxic products from fermentations. Likewise many biological reactions require the supply of oxygen, most normally from air. However, reliable online meas...

introduction: the process of urbanism in countries that are developing, like islamic republic of iran with increasing of the number and the size of cities and the fast accepting of population have been caused the forming of problems like an in-official economics and in-official settlement and was become creating high population in main and old places of city and increasing of air pollution and ...
