Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImpact of Emissions from Power Stations on the Ambient Air Quality of Selected Urban Areas in KuwaitBader N. Al-Azmi, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanIn Kuwait, two main power stations, one comprising of seven-300MW steam generators at Doha and other with eight-300MW steam generators at Subyia cover the major power requirement of Kuwait city. These stations used different types of fuel oil as the prime source of energy that has different sulpher contents (S%). Comprehensive emission inventories for year the 2001 were used to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImpact of Green House Gases (GHG) Emissions from Oil Production Facilities at Northern Kuwait Oilfields: Simulated ResultsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanAir pollution and its effects on the ecosystem has been a source of concern for many environmental pollution organizations in the world. In particular climatologists who are not directly involved in petroleum industry sometimes express concerns about the environmental impacts of gaseous emissions from flaring at various despised points. For environmental and resource conservation reasons, flaring should always be minimized … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,933 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNeuroprotection Afforded by GABA Against Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation-Induced Injury in Rat Cortical Brain Slices: An Hormetic Dose-Response EffectLorenzo Ricci, Massimo Valoti, Giampietro Sgaragli, Maria FrosiniThe aim of the present investigation was to assess neuroprotection exerted by GABA (100 nM-100 mM) in rat cortical brain slices subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation. Neuronal injury and neuroprotection were assessed by measuring the release of glutamate and lactate dehydrogenase and tissue water content. Results demonstrate that GABA exerted neuroprotective effects according to a U-shaped, hormetic-like, concentration-response curve, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTotal SO2 Emissions from Power Stations and Evaluation of their Impact in Kuwait Using a Gaussian Plume Dispersion ModelA.A. Ramadan, M. Al-Sudairawi, S. Alhajraf, A.R. KhanIn Kuwait, most of the power stations use fuel oil as the prime source of energy. The sulphur content (S%) of the fuel used as well as other factors have a direct impact on the ground level concentration of sulphur dioxide (SO2) released by power stations into the atmosphere. The SO2 ground level concentration has to meet the environmental standards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOil Refineries Emissions Impact on Urban Localities Using AERMODAmira Mohamed Wahba Abdelrasoul, Amir AL-Hadad, Abdul Rehman KhanProblem statement: The absolute necessity of compulsory fuel utilities, no matter small or big has resulted into substantial high hazards pollutants. Petroleum refineries are major industrial installations that are necessary for providing the best suited fuel for various necessary utilities, but are responsible of the emission of several hazardous pollutants into the atmosphere. Hydrocarbons are among the most perilous air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,733 accessesView PDFCite
