Assessment of Heavy and Trace Metal Pollution in the Karun River, Iran

by Jadari H. Jahani D. Peyrowan H. Kohansal Ghadimvand N.

Air pollution and health

The Karun River, the longest and highest water flow river in Iran, has experienced heavy and trace metal pollution in recent years. While previous studies have evaluated the water quality of the river, not all sections from north to south have been examined for all metals. To address this gap, a...

Sustainable zeolite-based solutions for reducing indoor CO₂ levels to improve urban air quality in Tamilnadu

by Selvakumar A. Kolandaivel V. Vairavel m.

Air pollution and health

Indoor air quality significantly impacts health and well-being, making the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations essential in urban environments. The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in indoor environments poses significant risks to air quality and human health. This study...
