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...

Environmental effects on health are associated with several factors: absent or inadequate environmental health services, such as water supply, sanitation, solid and hazardous waste management and shelter; environmental degradation, such as pollution of air, water and soil, and food contamination; global environmental problems, such as reduction of biodiversity and degradation of ecosystems thro...

liberalization of international markets affects level of pollution in developing countries more than in developed countries. therefore the impact of trade liberalization on environmental pollution is a challenge for policy makers. in this paper auto regressive distributed lags (ardl) and error correction model (ecm) methods are employed for a study of the relationship between trade liberalizati...

INTRODUCTION Environmental noise pollution increases the risk for hearing loss, stress, sleep disruption, annoyance, and cardiovascular disease and has other adverse health impacts. Recent (2013) estimates suggest that more than 100 million Americans are exposed to unhealthy levels of noise. Given the pervasive nature and significant health effects of environmental noise pollution, the correspo...

Among various types of cities, mining cities have special features including a high concentration of industrial activities associated with the exploration, extraction, refining, processing and export of groundwater resources, the risk of reduction and termination of non-renewable resources, high degree of environmental pollution, high production of domestic and industrial waste and social issue...

It is shown in this paper that the estimates of technical efficiency, scale economies, and the shadow prices of bad outputs for polluting firms in India are sensitive to the specification of technologies and environmental regulation. The output and input distance functions with the assumption of weak disposability of bad outputs account for the effect of environmental regulation on the producti...

the most important environmental pollutant in steel industry is air pollution due to the process of its products. optimise sitting for this industry, in a great extend will prevent pollutants and emissions. khorasan steel company is located near some populous villages and three rivers. it is necessary to perform an investigation for providing abatement and control of air pollution, in time of p...

Taking Handan City (the south of Northern China) as an example, and making use of the environmentally friendly materials of Handan Environmental Monitor Station in 2013-2014, the surface observational data of Handan Meteorological Station and the sounding data of Xingtai station, combined with the integrated analysis of numerical prediction and simulation, this paper shows that, in 2014, the ai...

Qualitative status of the environment is signaled by a group of indicators, known as bioindicators, several of which are responsible for showing progressive impacts of different types of pollutants. Having addressed the influence of various bioindicators in environmental pollution, it has been revealed that bioindicators are sensitive to any disturbance in any environment. With regards to the p...
