Groundwater is a valuable water resource in Saudi Arabia due to the scarcity of sustainable/renewable water sources. Therefore, the systematic and continuous monitoring of groundwater is essential to ensure its effective and sustainable management. This aligns closely with the objectives of the...
Climate change
Due to the widespread use of fossil fuels, atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂), a major contributor to climate change, have increased dramatically. Through the simulation of a two-dimensional (2D), bovine carbonic anhydrase (bCA)-mediated mechanism, this work presents a novel approach method...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The effluent quality of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Hebei Province met the Class I-A standard of "Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants"(GB 18918-2002) (COD≤50 mg/L, TN≤15 mg/L, TP≤0.5 mg/L, NH3-N≤8 mg/L). However, under the guidance of energy...
Air pollution and health
Due to the methane emission from the mining of coal and industrial byproducts including CFCs, depletion of the ozone layer causes raised global warming and worsens climate change. One chlorine atom can lead to the destruction of 1,00,000 ozone molecules causing depletion at a much faster rate than...
