Authors:Niharranjan Mishra, Nabanita Das Abstract: Despite government’s repeated assertions for the sustainable mining extraction and development of rural and tribal communities living near the vicinity of mining areas, these have not been converted into implementable solutions. The natural resources from rural and tribal areas are being exploited to meet the ever-increasing requirements and aspirations of the affluent groups. With the above ...

Authors:Biman Gati Gupta, Jayanta Kumar Biswas, Krishna M Agrawal Abstract: Hazardous bleaching and dyeing units are rapidly increasing in developing countries due to growing global demand of textile products. The aim of the study is to assess long-term respiratory effect of air pollution generated from textile bleaching and dyeing industries on the residents living in such industrial setting. Such types of long-term (2012-2016) studies have been conducted first time ...

Authors:Patricia Barreto, Santiago Dogliotti, Carlos Perdomo Abstract: The Santa Lucia River basin provides drinking water to 60% of Uruguay population. The input of excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus both from point and nonpoint sources could impair surface water quality and prevent its use for human consumption. The objective of this work was to evaluate surface water quality in small catchments under agricultural use located within this river basin. ...

Authors:Aaron A Jennings, Zijian Li Abstract: Regulatory agencies worldwide have developed regulatory guidance values (RGVs) for nearly 800 pesticides. Analysis of the residential surface soil guidance values applied to the most frequently regulated current-use agriculture, home, and garden pesticides is presented. Part I concentrates on values applied to atrazine, simazine, and trifluralin. These are unique among commonly used pesticides ...

Authors:Aaron A Jennings, Zijian Li Abstract: Surface soil regulatory guidance values (RGVs) are available worldwide for nearly 800 pesticides. Part I of this study examined values applied to commonly used carcinogenic pesticides. Part II examines RGVs applied to 12 commonly used noncarcinogenic pesticides: 2,4-D, carbaryl, carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, dicamba, diuron, glyphosate, malathion, MCPA, metolachlor, and picloram. The RGV ... Citation: Air, Soil and Water Research 2017:10 1178622117711931 PubDate: 2017-06-06T00:00:00-05:00 DOI: 10.4137/ASWR.S40667 Issue No:Vol. 2017, No. 1 (2017)
Authors:Longlei Li, Irina N Sokolik Abstract: Airborne mineral dust is thought to have a significant influence on the climate through absorbing and scattering both shortwave and longwave radiations and affecting cloud microphysical processes. However, a knowledge of long-term dust emissions is limited from both temporal and spatial perspectives. Here, we have developed a quantitative climatology: the column-integrated mass of the dust aer ...

Authors:Supitchaya. Tunlathorntham, Sarawut. Thepanondh Abstract: The AERMOD dispersion model was evaluated for its performance in predicting 1-hour average nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations in the vicinity of the largest petrochemical industrial complex in Thailand during the period between January 2012 and December 2013. Measured data from 10 ambient air monitoring stations were intensively used to compare with modeled results. Model results indicated ...

Authors:Mohammed J. Mamman, Otache Y. Martins, Jibril. Ibrahim, Mohammed I. Shaba Abstract: The analysis of time series is essential for building mathematical models to generate synthetic hydrologic records, to forecast hydrologic events, to detect intrinsic stochastic characteristics of hydrologic variables, as well as to fill missing and extend records. To this end, various probability distribution models were fitted to river inflows of Kainji Reservoir in New Bussa, Niger State, N ...

Authors:Seyyed Hadi. Sadeghi, Hamid. Nouri, Mohammed. Faramarzi Abstract: Atmospheric phenomena have an enormous influence on natural resources and human life. Lack of sufficient information and knowledge in regard to the management of natural areas and ecosystems will bring about a huge cost. Hamadan province according to the topography, geomorphology, and soil condition is known as a particular area. In this region, intense rains have brought about hillsides, runo ...

Authors:Sandeep. Satapathy, Roshan Kumar. Singh, Chanchal. Kumar, Rashmi. Negi, Kirti. Mishra, Kashyap. Bhuyan Abstract: The rapid growth in the use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture, excessive extraction of groundwater, and rise in the number of industries with inefficient waste disposal system have been some of the key factors in degradation of groundwater quality during the past years. Although groundwater is considered as a valuable natural resource, the quality control of this resource has system ...
