1. introduction one of the most important conditions to have dusty weather beside of unstable weather is existence or non-existence of humidity. unstable weather having enough humidity will produce rain and thunder storm, else if the result will be dust storm. number of particles of dusty storm is depended to wind speed, sec of soil and its dimension. furthermore, vegetation type has importance...

Environmental pollution consists of different types of pollutants in air, soil, and water. Due to the fact that plants can respond to environmental pollution, they can be used as bio-indicators for environmental monitoring. Air pollution in areas with oil and gas refineries nearby is an important problem. This study aims to survey the effects of gas refinery air pollutants on Conocarpus erectus...

conclusions according to the factory noise map, except for the control rooms with 81 dba noise, other cases of measuring stations were higher than the standard exposure of 85 dba noise. as a result, the implementation of control strategies, such as inspection and performance of control systems and insulation of the control room to prevent unnecessary exposure noise, are necessary. background st...

In air pollution epidemiology, improvements in statistical analysis tools can help improve signal-to-noise ratios, and untangle large correlations between exposures and confounders. For this reason, we welcome a novel model-selection approach that helps to identify the time-windows of exposure to pollutants that produces adverse health effects. However, there are concerns about approaches that ...

introduction: among the environmental pollutions, noise is very important for its physiological  and psychological effects on human. traffic noise is one of the most important pollutants and the  hospitals  are  one  of  the  critical  places  regarding  this  type  of  noise.  for  these  reasons,  in  the  summer  of  1382,  the  traffic  noise  of  mashhad  main  streets  around  the  hospit...

The European Community Green Paper on Future Noise Policy (1996) recognised that environmental noise is “one of the main local environmental problems in Europe” but that it has had a lower priority than other environmental problems, such as air or water pollution. It also recognised that, despite significant reductions in the noise produced by individual sources, total exposure to environmental...
