Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Content of Heavy Metal in the Labu Riverbed Sediments: An Assessment of the Level of Pollution Applying Sediment Quality Guidelines and Geoaccumulation IndexAhmad Shoaib Jahesh, Sahibin Abd Rahim, Wan Mohd Razli IdrisRiver bed sediments from thirteen (13) sampling stations, from Labu River were collected in June and December 2014. The aim is to identify the source and ascertain the current levels of heavy metal pollutions. The selected heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Zn, As, Cd and Pb) were analysed by using Inductively Couple Plasma Mass Spectrophotometry (ICPMS). Metals were statistically … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 10 Aug 2016 · 7,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Industrial Pollution on the Spatial Variation of Surface Water QualityIslam Mir Sujaul, Mohammed Amjed Hossain, Mohamad Ali Nasly, Md Abdus SobahanSurface water quality deterioration is the impact of anthropogenic activities at the study areas due to rapid industrialization. The study was done to know the spatial variation of the water quality of the Tunggak River and surrounding area because of industrial activities.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Air Pollution on Ozone Layer Thickness in Troposphere over the State of KuwaitH. O. Al Jeran, A. R. KhanTroposphere ozone layer acts as a shield against all ultraviolet radiation approaching the planet Earth through absorption. It was noticed in mid 80s that ozone layer has thinned on the poles of the planet due to release of man-made substances commonly known as Ozone Depleting Substances, (ODS) into its atmosphere. The consequences of this change are adverse as the harmful … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 19,488 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReview of Photochemical Smog Pollution in Jakarta Metropolitan, IndonesiaDollaris R. Suhadi, M. Awang, M. N. Hassan et al.An analysis of photochemical smog pollution in Jakarta was attempted using data from the existing air quality monitoring stations. Ground-level ozone potential is high in Jakarta due to the high traffic emissions of ozone precursors and the favorable surface meteorological conditions. Despite the frequent missing data during the 1996-1999 monitoring, which resulted in lower ozone values, ozone episodes were significantly … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVirtual Assessment of air Pollution Dispersion from Anthropogenic Sudden ExplosionMarvel Lola Akinyemi, Moses Eterigho Emetere, Mojisola Rachel UsikaluThe control of air pollutants from anthropogenic sources seems almost impossible due to numerous influencing factors present in the atmosphere.
