stationary sources are reponsible to 96.8 of sox and 70.1 percent of nox in tehran. there are more than 70 thousands factories located in tehran region. economic policy measures such as, charges, subsidies, and non-compliance fees, and also marketable permits, bubble policy, offets, netting and reforms in banking, are recommended. automobiles produce 71.2 percent of total air pollution in tehra...

The paper discussed the research course of the non-point source pollution and the application of spatial information technology to the non-point source pollution. Then we collected some spatial information data such as terrain, soil, water system, land use and so on, used MUSLE equation supported by geographic information system to get the risk distributing map of the non-point source pollution...

In the past 30 years, China’s economy has experienced rapid development, which led to a vast increase in energy consumption and serious environmental pollution. Among the different types of pollution, heavy metal pollution has become one of the major environmental issues in China. A number of studies show that high level of heavy metal exposure is a frequent cause of permanent intellectual and ...

Natural environments are increasingly exposed to high levels of noise pollution. Noise pollution can alter the behavior of animals but we know little about its effects on antipredator behavior. We therefore investigated the impact of noise pollution on vigilance behavior and roost selection in an avian species, peafowl (Pavo cristatus), that inhabits urban environments. Captive peahens were exp...

Nonpoint source pollution control and stormwater management are two objectives in managing mixed land use watersheds like those in New Jersey. Various best management practices (BMPs) have been developed and implemented to achieve both objectives. This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of selected BMPs for agricultural nonpoint source pollution control and stormwater management in the Nesha...

Abstract: Recently, China has brought out several air-pollution control policies, which indicate the prominent position that PV power hold in improving atmosphere environment. Under this policy environment, the development of China’s PV power will be greatly affected. Firstly, after analyzing the influencing path of air-pollution control policies on PV power, this paper built a system dynamics ...

Air pollution is responsible for many health problems in the urban areas. Of late, the air pollution status in Delhi has undergone many changes in terms of the levels of pollutants and the control measures taken to reduce them. This paper provides an evidence-based insight into the status of air pollution in Delhi and its effects on health and control measures instituted. The urban air database...

Increasing attention is being paid to spatial distribution characteristics of haze pollution and its relation with socioeconomic factors. This study investigates the spatial autocorrelation of haze pollution in China and the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on haze pollution in China using a panel data of 31 provinces over the period 2000-12. Using a widely used spatial autocorrelation...

Due to the high density of buildings and low quality of the drainage pipe network in the city, urban non-point source pollution has become a serious problem encountered worldwide. This study investigated and analyzed the characteristics of non-point source pollution in Baoding City. A simulation model for non-point source pollution was developed based on the Stormwater Management Model (SWMM), ...

The principles and problems of environmental pollution and contamination are outlined. Emphasis is given to case examples from developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America with a comparative analysis to developed countries. The problems of pollution/contamination are widespread in developed countries but are gradually spreading from the urban to rural areas in the developing countrie...
