the aim of this study is to investigate drinking water contamination and to identify potential sources of contamination during the water production, delivery process and in water tanks in the kindergartens of gaza strip governorates. the samples were taken from water tanks in the kindergartens, water tankers and private desalination facilities in the gaza strip and analyzed for chemical and bio...

Contamination of drinking water by microbiological and chemical agents can lead to adverse health effects. In England and Wales, the Chemicals Hazards and Poisons Division (CHaPD) of the Health Protection Agency provides expert advice on the consequences to public health of chemical contamination incidents affecting drinking water. In this study, we extracted data from the National Database on ...

groundwater contamination is a serious problem facing the countries. because groundwater is vulnerable to contamination from a variety of sources, and, once contaminated, it is very difficult to restore to its original quality. the main objective of this study was evaluation of groundwater quality in shahrekord aquifer and finding the source of the groundwater contamination. some of the chemica...

Many of the investigations of contamination related laser damage to date have been largely phenomenological. These papers can provide some direction in the quest for determining and maintaining adequate laser cleanliness levels. Purely optical analyses of laser contamination effects likewise provide direction. Neither the phenomenological nor the purely classical optical methods provide a solid...

The possible effect of contrails in modifying the weather is reconsidered in the light of information obtained from ground-level contrails in Alaska. It appears likely that inadvertent cloud seeding b y jet aircraft may be of the same order of magnitude as that attained in commercial cloud seeding operations. Further investigation is needed; but in the meantime, the possibility of contrail cont...

Through the years, mining and beneficiation processes produces large amounts of As-rich mine wastes laid up in huge tailings and open-air impoundments (Barroca Grande and Rio tailings) that are the main source of pollution in the surrounding area once they are exposed to the weathering conditions leading to the formation of AMD and consequently to the contamination of the surrounding environmen...

This paper contributes to the literature on community response to the announcement of well-established chemical contamination close to their homes. It describes a study of residents' views of chemical contamination on a close and long-standing community in the context of impacts on everyday life. This followed the discovery early in 2000 that houses in Weston Village, in the County of Cheshire,...
