Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Electrical and Electromagnetic Investigation for Contaminated SiteAlberto Godio, Mario NaldiProblem statement: The environmental assessment of industrial areas is required to minimize the risk of soil and groundwater contamination. The survey of wide areas (e.g., some hectares) provides a high economical and complex logistical impact when random strategies of soil sampling are adopted. Recently, geophysical methods had been successfully adopted to drive the process of the spatial sampling of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effect of Three Nitrate Fertilizers on Nitrate Leaching under the Root Zone in Clay Loam SoilThamer Ahmed Mohammed, M. Nooshin, Megat Johari Megat Mohd. Noor, A. LiaghatProblem statements: Nitrogen fertilizer is recognized as an important factor in crop’s yield level, however more application of N fertilizers in the soil have some adverse effects on environment and especially on groundwater contamination. Perception and recognition the factors influencing nitrate transport through soil profile is helpful for fertilizer management to minimize adverse impacts on environment and nitrate leaching below … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,064 accessesView PDFCite

Wan Zuhairi et al.Problem statement: Yemen one of the developing country suffering from water pollution. Landfill is one of the source of water pollution. There are several boreholes located close to Ibb landfill used for drinking water. A study of composition of landfill leachate and groundwater pollution was conducted at Ibb landfill, which is located at Al-Sahool area, north of Ibb City, Yemen. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Groundwater and Surface Water Pollution at Mitm Area, Ibb City, YemenEsmail A. Sabahi, S. Abdul Rahim, W.Y. Wan Zuhairi et al.Groundwater and surface water samples were collected from Mitm area to study the possible impact of wastewater treatment percolation into the groundwater and surface water. The objective of the study is to assess the groundwater and surface water pollution due to wastewater treatment at Mitm area of Ibb city, in the Republic of Yemen. The concentrations of various physiochemical parameters … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,881 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability and Pollution Risks in the Alluvial Aquifer of Tebessa-MorsottS. Kachi, N. Kherici, N. KachiWe studied the vulnerability and risks of pollution of the alluvial aquifer of Tebessa-Morsott that ranks amongst the major groundwater reservoirs of the region. The method used to asses groundwater vulnerability was the DRASTIC method, based on seven parameters that affect and control the groundwater flow: Depth to groundwater, Impact of the unsaturated zone, net recharge, aquifer media, hydraulic conductivity, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethyltert-butyl Ether (MTBE) Degradation by a Microbial ConsortiumS. B. Mortazavi, A. Nikpey, A. Rezaee et al.Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is added to reformulated gasoline to meet the 1990 Clean Air Act directives. Widespread use of MTBE in gasoline has resulted in groundwater contamination. Because of its undesirable effects on drinking water and ecologically harmful effects, MTBE removal has become a public health and environmental concern. In this study, we have isolated a mixed bacterial culture … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordReduction of Microbial Contamination of Outlet Waste in Urban Wastewater Treatment PlantsSona Pazdar, Saeid Eslamian, Hossein Gholami, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariThe available research was managed to monitor the physicochemical and microbiological features of treatment plants. The wastewater treatment herb sewage is a straight pollution input source for anthropogenic pollution. The sediment information ideas to an urban drainage trench as a secondary point pollution source while the organotins information highlights the presence of other spread sources, special to this material. wastewater … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2019 · 7,607 accessesView PDFCite
