Today, the cement industry is one of the major air polluting industries in the world. Hence, in this study, owing to the importance and role of contaminants from the plant, an appraisal of the emission contributions in addition to other factors have been discussed. There are several reasons behind the importance of modeling air pollutants. First, the assessment of standards for air pollution, a...

[1] The movement of particulate matter within wetland surface waters affects nutrient cycling, contaminant mobility, and the evolution of the wetland landscape. Despite the importance of particle transport in influencing wetland form and function, there are few data sets that illuminate, in a quantitative way, the transport behavior of particulate matter within surface waters containing emergen...

introduction: metalworking fluids (mwfs) are widely used in metal working operations for cooling down, lubricating and reducing the friction between tools and work pieces which result in controlling the heat produced. exposure to mwfs causes several adverse effects including respiratory problems, skin diseases, cancer and even infertility. this study examines workers’ exposure to mwf mist and t...

This research aimed to develop a supercritical fluid (SCF) technique for preparing a particulate form of itraconazole (ITZ) with good dissolution and bioavailability characteristics. The ITZ particulate solid dispersion was formulated with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, Pluronic F-127, and L-ascorbic acid. Aggregated particles showed porous structure when examined by scanning electron microscop...

Testate amoebae (TA) associated with terrestrial mosses are increasingly used in ecological and ecotoxicological studies. The TA community is sensitive to changes in its environment (climate change, metal or gas pollution). In this study, a “bryophyte-TA” microsystem was investigated as an indicator of dry particulate deposition and NO2 atmospheric concentration over an 8-month period in rural,...

Models-3, a flexible software framework, and its Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system form a powerful third generation air quality modeling and assessment tool designed to support air quality modeling applications ranging from regulatory issues to science inquiries on atmospheric science processes. The CMAQ system can address tropospheric ozone, acid deposition, visibility, f...
