conclusions according to the results of this study, with increasing load of traffic, there is an increasing need for proper consideration plans to control noise pollution and prevent its effects. results according to the research findings, the equivalent sound pressure levels in all stations were 76.28 ± 3.12 db (mean ± sd). according to sound measurements and the survey questionnaire, noise po...

this study aims at evaluating the completeness of the content of the ecological part in environmental impact assessments (eias) and environmental impact statements (eiss) on content review basis. the requirements of the ecological content as stated in the of five sets of thai’s eia guidelines, namely the specific guidelines for power plants, industrial projects, dams and harbors and the gene...

a methodology is presented for the stochastic generation of daily rainfall which accounts for changes to the climatic inputs. the focus of the study is an example catchment in iran. the methodology addresses the inability of gcms to provide suitable future scenarios for the time and space scales required for a water resource impact assessment for a small catchment. one stochastic model for rain...

compost is one of the strategies of house hold solid wastes management that is used to decrease the volume and weight of wastes, odor and leach ate dispersion, resource recycles and decreasing disposal expenses. in order to observe environmental regulations in the frame of adaptation development projects with environmental concerns, assessment of environmental impact of composting plants has be...

urban sinks accumulate phosphorus and other elements and may serve as sources of secondaryraw materials. this paper evaluates phosphorus sources based on their environmental impact. in a life cycleassessment (lca) the conventional production was used as a yardstick against which tomeasure the performanceof two recycling options: spreading of sewage sludge and phosphorus recovery from municipal ...

the influence of nanoclay on the impact damage resistance of glass fiber–epoxy composites has been investigated using high-velocity repeated ice impact tests. the incorporation of nanoclay into epoxy enhances the impact resistance of the composites. the impact of ice is a realistic scenario for composite structures such as aircraft fuselages, wing skins and fan blades and it is not a completely...

introduction: air pollution due to particulate matter is a major environmental and health issue in all regions of the world. the aim of this study was to investigate the health impacts of pm10 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10μm) in khorramabad city, iran in 2014. materials and methods: in this study, pm10 sampling was conducted by a high-volume sampler at flow rate of 1.1-1....

UNLABELLED This article provides examples of adverse health effects, including weather-related injury, food insecurity, mental health issues, and water infrastructure damage, and the responses to these effects that are currently being applied in two Northwest Alaska communities. BACKGROUND In Northwest Alaska, warming is resulting in a broad range of unusual weather and environmental conditio...
