Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGeochemical Distribution of Trace Metals and Assessment of Anthropogenic Pollution in Sediments of Old Nakagawa River, Tokyo, JapanH.M. Zakir, Naotatsu Shikazono, Kazuo OtomoThe geochemical distributions of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) were examined in sediments collected from Old Nakagawa River (NR), Tokyo, Japan. A widely used 5-step sequential extraction procedure was employed for the fractionation of the metals and the concentrations were measured in the liquid extracts by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The association … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,453 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHydrocarbons in Soil from Basra Oil-Rich GovernorateAli Abdul Al-Zahra Douabul, Wisam Abdul Ameer Farid, Hamid Talib Al-Saad, Sama Sameer AlMaarofiBasra is a rich-oil region; its soil is expected to be contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. However, there is no previous study that has estimated the levels of hydrocarbons in Basra soil. After 2003 numerous operations by several international oil companies are underway. Therefore, the determination of background levels of petroleum hydrocarbons is a priority from environmental point of view. The … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 18 Sep 2012 · 7,888 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPotential Contribution of Traffic to Air Pollution in the State of KuwaitN. Al-Mutairi, P. KoushkiProblem statement: The reduction in ambient air pollution is a universal goal-particularly in urban areas, the lack of resources often necessitates identification and prioritization of sources of air pollutants. Efficient planning and effective management of environmental pollutants is thus important for optimum utilization of limited resources. Approach: This study examined seven years of data from three air pollution monitoring stations … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,281 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Validation of a 2D Finite Element Model for Air Pollution Dispersion (SUITE-2D)Youssef Ismail HafezThis paper presents the development and validation of SUITE-2D (Solving Unsteady Incompressible Transport Equation in Two Dimensions), a two-dimensional finite element model for solving the advection-diffusion transport equation with decay and source terms. The model provides an efficient and accurate approach for simulating pollutant dispersion in environmental systems. The finite element formulation uses the standard Galerkin method, with numerical integration … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 22 Dec 2025 · 3,127 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAir Quality Interpretation of Four Geographically Distinct Hot Spot States of India-An Appraisal Using Aerosol Optical Depth and Particulate MatterJacob Joshua, Aishwarya Sathyachandran, Chenicherry House SujathaThe application of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer-Aerosol Optical Depth (MODIS-AOD) for Air Quality (AQ) assessment has contributed significantly by making use of a spatiotemporal relationship between ground-level particulate matter and aerosol optical density at both city and state levels. Traditional ground-based site-specific particulate matter monitoring method has found a profound gap in their spatial coverage. Such challenging situations prevail over … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 6 · 8 Feb 2023 · 5,883 accessesView PDF Cite
