Dust storms which disperse a high amount of fine particulate matters have increased exponentially in west of Iran. These fine particulate matters cause a lot of problems on such as adverse effect on human health as well as environment. The main aim of this study is investigating the critical dust atmospheric conditions at a dust storm which was occ...

Particulate matters have detrimental effects on human health, environment and economic. This pollutant may emit from anthropogenic or natural sources. On global scale, main proportion of natural particulate matter release to the atmosphere because of wind erosion from arid and semi-arid regions. Recently, the amount of dust coming from Arabian coun...

Nowadays, due to increasing the waste generation around the world assessing the adverse effects such as environmental issues is becoming a matter of focus. Moreover, solid waste management systems are known as one of main PM10 sources. However, various disposal methods have interesting relations with the PM10 production. In this study, different sc...

Gas flares are one of the main sources of air pollutions such as SOx, NOx and CO2. Proper managing of flares is essential to reduce the drawbacks. In this research, the effects of SOx and NOx pollutants on human health which are spread from a gas flare located in phase 9 & 10, South Pars, the Persian Gulf, Iran, are considered. The Scope of this st...

Escalating development of tourism and petroleum industries in small islands such as Lavan-Iran requires sound solid waste management. In the present investigation, three scenarios which consist of the combination of landfill, recycling, incineration and composting and their environmental impacts have been evaluated for 7514 Kg/day of waste generati...

Due to the water shortage in the future, control and management of water resources is of particular importance. Virtual water is the common reaction to the idea of future wars, water wars, are. In this study, We have seen that contrary to the notion of virtual water that We believed water displaced from the probe to the low water policy, water trad...

Since all human activities somehow lead to the production of wastes, landfill practices should be chosen in such a way that they can respond to the increasing production of solid wastes and the pollutions they cause. SO x and NO x pollutants have detrimental effects on human health. Both of these pollutants in question can potentially be hazardous...

Back ground: Urbanization and development has always been led to air pollution. Volatile organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) are known as one of the most important groups of air pollutants. The present study aims to measureand investigate the outdoor concentrations of BTEX in Tehran, Iran. Methods and Materia...

The primary objective of desalination research is the development of a way to produce fresh water at lower cost. The present study investigated two freshwater production methods of Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Multi-Effect Humidification (MEH) (artificial distillation), and analyzed them from an economic standpoint, and subsequently pointed out the imp...

A clean room is an enclosed area that minimizes producing, arrival and remaining of particulate matters. In this work, the amount of microorganism in the clean rooms of the hospital in Tehran has been studied. TO this aim, ICU, CSR, a single bed patient room (room 309) and the operation room has been selected as test locations. All sampling has bee...

In global scale, main proportion of natural particulate matter releases on atmosphere by wind erosion from arid and semi-arid regions. In recent years, dust storm coming from western neighboring countries has drastically increased and has affected western and even central part of Iran. Climate change and anthropogenic activities such as war have ra...

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioreactor that converts chemical energy in the chemical bonds in organic compounds to electrical energy through catalytic reactions of microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. It has been known for many years that it is possible to generate electricity directly by using bacteria to break down organic substrates....
