A year-long offline based study was performed at five sites of Indo-Gangetic plain to get the spatio-temporal variation in elemental carbon (EC), organic (OC), water-soluble (WSOC) and secondary aerosol (SOA) PM2.5 fraction. OC constitutes ~70–90% total with high fraction (60–70%) during winter, except Hisar. The change concentration insignificant summer, whereas increased by 75–85%. relatively...

The objectives of this study were i) to characterize the water and soils under different managements, ii) evaluate sustainability using hypersaline water, iii) assess possible solutions prevent more degradation soil resources. Field laboratory analysis samples eight pedons 128 surface taken from grid in four pre-determined land uses; pistachio orchard abandoned, with furrow irrigation, wheat ma...

Ground water is highly important source of drinking water in Egypt. Some provinces suffer from high content of iron and manganese in ground water which threat human health. Different processes, such as electrochemical (EC), photo (UV), and combined photo-electrochemical (CPE) methods were used to attain both metals content to the level in accordance to reports of World Health Organization (WHO)...

loess and loess-like deposits cover large areas of golestan province of iran, a well-known region in the world for its high incidence rate of esophageal cancer (ec). despite numerous published works on the possible contributing factors for the observed high incidence rate, very little attention has been given so far to a possible link between the mineralogy of loess deposits in the region and e...

This study examined the feasibility of a novel treatment train that combines electrocoagulation (EC) with electrooxidation (EO) to remove and degrade per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from water. Electrocoagulation zinc anode could effectively PFASs water, long-chain (C7–C10) tended have higher removal rate. Foam was generated when relatively high current density (>1 mA cm?2) applied PFAS...
