Air is one of the most important elements life for living things in world. For humans, air an element that very concerned because it related to health. In Jakarta, Pollution Standard Index (ISPU) ranked second as capital city a country with poor quality. quality Jakarta monitored by Quality (AQI) 160 parameters form small pollutant particles diameter fewer than 2.8 micrometres (PM 2.8). The Ind...

Lethal effects of zinc sulphate (ZnSO4.H2O), a widespread environmental pollutant was evaluated following exposure at different concentrations of the toxicant to Tilapia species, Oreochromis niloticus based on toxicity index of 96 hrs LC50 values. The obtained results were analyzed by the Finney’s Probit Analysis LC50 Method and 96 hrs LC50 value for Oreochromis niloticus was found to be 72.431...

Modeling the movement and consequence of radioactive pollutants is critical for environmental protection and control of nuclear facilities. Sensitivity analysis is an integral part of model development and involves analytical examination of input parameters to aid in model validation and provide guidance for future research. Sensitivities of 21 input parameters have been analyzed for a specific...

In case of an accidental release of indoor airborne pollutants, it is critical to know information of the pollutant sources. Current inverse modeling concentrates on identifying a single pollutant source or multiple pollutant sources in simplified puff or constant release forms. This investigation proposes an inverse model to precisely identify the multiple pollutant source number, locations an...

This paper proposes a comprehensive cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate environmental policies. While effectiveness is measured as the reduction of different pollutants aggregated to a damage index, all the other effects apart from pollutant reduction are monetarised and expressed as cost. The damage index is based on the ‘Umwelt-BelastungsPunkte’ (UBP)-method (Environmental Impact Points) ...

Mercury (Hg) is a global and widely distributed heavy metal pollutant. can affect human health as well the of ecosystems poses ecological risks. The subjects this study are three types grassland in Beidianzi region, Songnen Plains, Northeastern China, characterized by different degrees degradation. mercury content levels atmosphere, soil, forage grass on grasslands were determined. In addition,...

A three-dimensional meteorological model and a Lagrangian particle dispersion model are used to study the e€ects of a uniform large-scale wind on the dispersion of a non-reactive pollutant in a coastal region with complex terrain. Simulations are carried out both with and without a background wind. A comparison between model results and measured data (wind and pollutant concentrations) indicate...
