management of the forest resources and related activities has significant effects on the environment. applying the environmental impact assessment (eia) provides a basis for improving forest management plans. however, in the developing countries such as iran, there have been so far no serious endeavors and research to undertake the eia of the various practices affecting the forest resources, de...

background: toxaphene is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide. the residues of which have been documented throughout the biosphere including water, ground water, soil and lake sediments, even though its use was banned some years ago. toxaphene has been known as an important environmental pollutant as a result of its persistence in the environment, bioaccumulation and bio magnification in food ...

The chlorine containing deposits in the power plant environment is very harmful in terms of degrading the plant component materials. The cyclic reaction starts by the chlorine gas shorten the life of the plant components. In this study, this cyclic reaction is study in detail, which is required further to find the preventive methods for slow down the degradation of the plant components, especia...

This study is an attempt to analyze the impact of technological innovations on Environmental Degradation (ED) in selected South Asian countries over period 1996 2019. The limited and inconclusive result association between innovation environment particularly Asia provides impetus explicitly reexamine this relationship. current unique using various greenhouse gases measure environmental degradat...

land cover change constitutes one of main way of alteration of soil organic matter in both quantitative and qualitative terms. the goal of this study was to compare the carbon stock and the isotopic signature of the organic matter in the soil of areas with different land use, covered with forest and grass (pasture). the study area is located at sorocaba, sp, brazil. using un-deformed soil sampl...

this study examines the transport of seventeen heavy metals between the isipingo estuary andthe adjacent sea. results demonstrate variability of fluxes in terms of prevalence, concentration and seasonality.summer neap and spring tides had approximately twice the number of heavy metals compared to winter andspring seasons. spring and winter seasons yielded higher concentrations and a greater num...

The rate of degradation of large-scale synthesized polylactide (PLA) of industrial origin was compared with that of laboratory-scale synthesized poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) of similar molar mass. The structural discrepancy between the two material types resulted in a significant difference in degradation rate. Although the hydrolysis of industrial PLA was substantially faster than that of PLLA, the ...
