In the present study an attempt has been made to assess the seasonal ground water quality variations at Kancheepuram region, Tamil Nadu, India. In order to evaluate the seasonal ground water quality for drinking and irrigation purposes, 68 groundwater well data were collected and analyzed for...

The ability of fertilizer treatments (O (Optimum level), OP (Optimum level + twice amount of K +), OZ (Optimum level + twice amount of Zn 2+) and OZP (Optimum level + twice amount of K + + twice amount of Zn 2+)) to ameliorate salinity stress was studied in canola plants. In addition, fertilizer...

Thermogravimetric analysis combined with a mass spectroscopy detector was used to study the thermal stability of solid materials earmarked for processing by thermal desorption (for example during the amelioration of environmental damage). The objective of the study was to verify the applicability of...

This paper deals with the impacts of the current economic crisis on the temporal variation of urban traffic (during 2008-11) and consequently, the impacts on the urban air pollutant levels using as case study the city of Thessaloniki, Greece. The important temporal variations of the main economic...

The assessment of the air quality of indoor environment where people usually spend extended time periods, especially for sensitive population groups such as patients during their hospitalization, is of major importance. Ensuring a safe level of air quality in these indoor environment serves as an...

The podzolic soils of the Kola Peninsula, Russia, have in localised areas been highly contaminated with copper and nickel from smelting activities. Migration and retention of these metals were investigated in undisturbed soil columns irrigated with simulated background and polluted precipitation in...
