the relationship between public health and urban planning is an innovative and important issue that it has prominent position in future urban planning. in this context, adverse air quality condition and air pollutant concentrations higher than the permitted limit set by the world health organization is considered as a threat to the health of citizens in big cities. according to result of air po...

The last generation has witnessed bludgeoning of the world's population, a spike in disease burden, and unprecedented levels of pharmaceutical consumption and production. Unfortunately, pharmaceuticals have left their industrial and household confines and leaked into the environment. Pharmaceuticals are now major environmental pollutants, and are ubiquitous in waters and soils. Unlike other env...

the continuous addition of industrial, municipal, and agricultural effluents to the environment has led to a great increase of toxic pollutants. it is well known that these pollutants are hazardous to animals, plants, microorganisms, and other living organisms including humans. as a result, effective technologies should be developed to remove these contaminants. biological remediation, as an ec...

The extensive use of petroleum and petroleum products leads to serious oil contamination of the environment, thus considerable interests were taken in microbial degradation and detoxification of these pollutants. Microalgae play an important role in the environmental cleaning of pollutants. Microalgae provide O2 to aerobic bacteria to mineralize pollutants and then take-up the released CO2 [1]....

While 31 million Americans have been diagnosed with asthma, children are most severely affected. Asthma also is common among teachers, indicating that the school building environment may be associated with asthma prevalence among occupants. Children are sensitive to environmental pollutants, which are more concentrated in indoor air environments. Schools are a significant source of indoor air p...

Pollution of marine waters is one of the important issues that has a irreparable effects. Also, in the organic oil pollutants, due to inappropriate effects on the environment and humans health and ability to create cancer, hydro carbons of polycyclic (PAHS) and heavy metals (Ni,Hg,V) have a particular importance. According to the importance of study of the environ mental contaminants in the fou...
