The effects of pH, NOM concentration, fractions and the chlorine dose on the formation and speciation of THMs and HAAs were determined in Altinapa Dam water (Konya/Turkey). Water sample was isolated and chlorinated at different TOC levels and pH’s. The isolate was fractioned; THM and HAA species...

3,4-dichloroaniline (3,4-DCA) is a hardly biodegradable and hydrolysable compound, characterized as a persistent pollutant for water, soil and sediment and highly toxic for living organisms. In this work, the impact of different micrometeorological conditions on uptake of 3,4-DCA was investigated in...

This study examined the toxicity potential of total suspended particulate in the airshed of a haulage vehicle park located in a major highway connecting Lagos, the commercial centre of Nigeria to its other parts. It has an approximate area of 0.6 km2. Ambient air total suspended particulates (TSP)...

This study investigates the thermal and bioclimatic conditions in Erzurum plain and the nearby Palandoken Mountains. The data was obtained from Erzurum Meteorological Station (1758 m) and Palandoken Mountains Meteorological Station (2973 m) for 2009 and 2010 in order to compute physiologically...

Commonly used analytical methods for assessing the effects of recharge and withdrawal on the groundwater flow system are based on an idealistic assumption that the aquifer’s base is fully impervious. In reality, the hydrostratigraphic conditions are often complex and involve leakage induced flow...

In Tunisian semi-arid regions, where water is a rare commodity and the large dams cannot be justified considering the very limited water contributions and the very high evapotranspiration, innovative techniques of harvesting water have been adopted. Tunisia has initiated a policy of small dam...

In this study, the development of a numerical model simulating surface drip irrigation from equidistant line sources in stratified soils under various conditions is being presented. The developed numerical model was used to investigate the effects of hysteresis, discharge rate, and soil hydraulic...

The influence of microscale and mesoscale meteorology on the local scale variation of air temperature cannot be correctly simulated by the coarse resolution Global Climate Models. The scope of this work is to develop a hybrid dynamic-statistical downscaling procedure and quantify its predictive...

This research aims to investigate the bioclimatic conditions in different ground cover types in the greater Athens area, Greece: a major street with heavy traffic (MS), an adjacent pedestrian street (PS) with irrigated plants and an urban park. Four sites were selected: one in each of the streets...

The complex terrain basin of Amyntaio – Ptolemais – Kozani in Western Macedonia of Greece is an area characterized by increased industrial activity and therefore it demands continuous and assiduous environmental monitoring. A prolonged particulate matter air pollution episode was recorded in the...
