Numerous researchers have described the correlation between short-term contact of nano-particulate (NP) matter in diverse coal phases and amplified death or hospitalizations for breathing disorders humans. However, few reports examined consequences source-specific nanoparticles (NPs) on mining areas. Advanced microscopic techniques can detect ultra-fine particles (UFPs) that contain potential h...

This paper presented the levels of PM2.5 and PM10 in different stations at the city of Sabzevar, Iran. Furthermore, this study was an attempt to evaluate spatial interpolation methods for determining the PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in the city of Sabzevar. Particulate matters were measured by Haz-Dust EPAM at 48 stations. Then, four interpolating models, including Radial Basis Functions (RBF)...

This paper considers supply chain design in green logistics. We formulate the choice of an environmentally conscious chain design as a multi-objective optimization (MOO) problem and approximate the Pareto front using the weighted sum and epsilon constraint scalarization methods as well as with two popular genetic algorithms, NSGA-II and SPEA2. We extend an existing case study of green supply ch...

Concerns on fine dust originated from agricultural lands such as reclaimed tidelands located in the western coastal area of South Korea is increasing. Saemangeum land (RTL), which area, inherently susceptible to windblown due strong westerly winds and relatively flat terrain with few hills or mountains. In addition, RTL has a low organic matter content (<5%) thus soils are also wind erosion. Th...
