Abstract Air pollution from wood burning is a serious problem in the developing world. In cities of south-central Chile, households experience extremely high ambient air levels due to massive combustion as fuel for residential heating. To address this problem, recent years new stoves—equipped with improved technologies that are designed be less-polluting—have replaced high-polluting ones. Howev...

Processing of minerals and production of metals has increased greatly in recent years. As a result, the quantities of waste material and pollutants have also increased. In many cases technology has changed to cope with the problem. Processes have been either modified to decrease emissions, or replaced by others that are less polluting even if at a higher cost. This paper briefly reviews example...

in this paper, we introduce the new notion of strongly j-clean rings associatedwith polynomial identity g(x) = 0, as a generalization of strongly j-clean rings. we denotestrongly j-clean rings associated with polynomial identity g(x) = 0 by strongly g(x)-j-cleanrings. next, we investigate some properties of strongly g(x)-j-clean.

During the 2014 APEC Conference, there was a long presence of blue sky (APEC Blue) after a long-time occurrence of hazy weather in Beijing, China, which prompted the public’s attention to heavy-polluting enterprises to reach a new peak. Will the public’s negative concern about the incident will affect the operation of heavy-polluting enterprises? In this paper, we analyzed the influence of the ...

Pig farming generates highly polluting wastewaters which entail serious environmental issues when not adequately managed. Microalgae systems can be promising for cost, energy and environment-efficient treatment of piggery wastewater (PWW). Aside from clean water, the produced biomass used as biostimulants biopesticides contributing to a more sustainable agriculture. Three microalgae (Tetradesmu...

Background: High concentrations of various heavy metals of mine tailings can easily contaminate the environment. Such materials need monitoring and remediation to prevent them from polluting the environment and food chain. Materials & Methods: The concentrations of certain metals were evaluated in the soil samples at Sorkheh and Mazraeh copper mining areas in northwestern Iran, using three r...
