since particulate matter (total suspended particles and particulate matter with median aerodynamic diameter less than 10 µm) is one of the important pollutants in the ambient air of tehran, the capital of iran, organic substances, inorganic substances and lead levels in tsp and pm10, correlation between tsp and pm10 concentrations, ratio among the two fractions and relation between tsp and pm10...

under the contemporary scenario of global climate change and increasing coastal eutrophication, baseline studies of phytoplankton diversity and distribution in relation to habitat conditions constitute the first approach to evaluate potential shifts at the base of the food webs. here we present data of phytoplankton species composition and environmental variables in winter 2006 in a temperate ...

The human respiratory system is the gateway of entry for inhaled detritus from anthropogenic (e.g. combustionderived (CD) particulate matter (PM; e.g. diesel exhaust and wood-burning PM). Adult humans inhale 20m 3 of air and suspended debris (gases and particles) into the airways daily. Inhalation exposure to CDPM (Figure 1) is known to increase the risk of morbidity and mortality of lung and h...

Technological procedure of extracting metals is being constantly modernised so that polluting of the basic life resources is reduced. Emissions of waste gases and particulate matter are still present in larger mining-metallurgical complexes. Mining-metallurgical complex Bor (RTB) exploits sulphide copper ores, thus emitting acid sulphur gases and suspended particles with high content of Cu, Zn,...

In this paper, we propose a methodology for the characterization of the suspended particulate matter along the Algiers’s bay. An approach by multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with training by back propagation of the gradient optimized by the algorithm of Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) is used. The accent was put on the choice of the components of the base of training where a comparative study made for fou...

background: the aim of study was to measure particle matter concentration (pm 1, pm 2.5 and pm 10 ) during normal, semi-dust and dust-event days. the impacts of some meteorological factors on particle matter concentrations were also investigated. methods: samples were collected by grimm aerosol technik (gmbh model 1/108 germany) from november 2011 to may 2012. temperature, humidity, wind speed ...

All trademarks are the property of their respective owners. TI Designs This TI Design provides an analog front-end (AFE) solution for measuring PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter (PM). The design detects the light scattered by particles suspended in air. A sample software algorithm is provided to convert the analog output of the design into a particle size and concentration measurement. Test res...

The impact on coastal ecosystems of suspended solids, organic matter, and bacteria in shrimp farm effluents is presented. Sites around Bahía de Kino were selected for comparative evaluation. Effluent entering Bahia Kino (1) enters Laguna La Cruz (2). A control site (3) was outside the influence of effluents. Water quality samples were collected every two weeks during the shrimp culture period. ...

Rare earth element (REE) concentrations and neodymium isotopic composition (ɛNd) are tracers for ocean circulation and biogeochemistry. Although models suggest that REE release from lithogenic sediment in river discharge may dominate all other REE inputs to the oceans, the occurrence, mechanisms and magnitude of such a source are still debated. Here we present the first simultaneous observation...

Flue gas conditioning (FGC) systems offer an effective option for control of Particulate Matter (PM) emissions and enhances the performance of the Electrostatic Precipitators (EPs) when using coal of different properties. The increasing environmental awareness and the mandate of the Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA) in various countries to thermal power stations using coal-fired boilers f...
