Abstract In recent years, non-thermal plasma technology has gained considerable attention. It can produce highly reactive hydroxyl radicals and other strong oxidants, which is promising in environment pollutants removal. This article mainly reviews the advances contaminants removal with several well-known technologies. We first introduce its development, then summarize their applications for ai...

The indoor environment has frequently been ignored as a significant source of exposure to air pollutants. To date there are a number of documented examples of levels of indoor air pollutants greatly exceeding those levels which commonly occur in the outdoor environment. Among these instances are airborne buildup of polynuclear aromatics and cadmium from cigarette smoke, lead from burning candle...

Remediation states for the removal of pollutants from the environment. Remediation can be done in various ways such as by using waste biomass for sorption of pollutants or by living organisms like plants, microbes that cause degradation of pollutants. Bioremediation implies the use of microbes in the removal of heavy metals, industrial wastes and any other type of toxic wastes from the environm...

Industrial discharges of untreated effluents into water bodies and emissions into air have deteriorated the quality of water and air, respectively. The huge amount of pollutants derived from industrial activities represents a threat for the environment and ecologic equilibrium. Phenols and halogenated phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), endocrine disruptive chemicals (EDC), pestici...

Environmental safety is the key requirements of our well-being. Rapid urbanization and industrialization have greatly contributed several pollutants such as heavy metals, inorganic and organic compounds, pesticides, toxins, endocrine disrupting hormones, etc. to the environment. The presence of such pollutants is becoming a major global challenge for environmental security and human health. Alt...

Nowadays study of the industrial pollutions has become a controversial issue to reduce the risks of them in all of the world. Studding of air, water, and soil pollutions as separately may cause neglect from address to a comprehensive look in industrial pollution issue. In addition, without the exact information about quantity and quality of pollution sources, reduce or eliminate industrial poll...
