Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffects of N-Acetylcysteine on Auditory Brainstem Response Threshold Shift in Rabbits Exposed to Noise and Carbon MonoxideSeyedbagher Mortazavi, Masoud Motalebi Kashani, Ali Khavanin et al.Problem statement: Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is one of the most important occupational disease in worldwide. NIHL has been found to be potentiated by simultaneous Carbon monoxide (CO) exposure. Exposure to noise plus CO is common in occupational and environmental settings. Free radicals have been implicated in cochlear damage resulting from exposure to noise and due to CO hypoxia … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,040 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTeatment of Work Camp Wastewater Using a Sequencing Batch Reactor Followed by a Sand FilterA. Rezaee, A. Khavanin, M. AnsariWork camps, have to be established quickly, are a transient nature and located in environmentally sensitive areas. Wastewater treatment systems located in the work camps often perform poorly. In response to these deficiencies and the need to provide for reliable, cost effective, high efficiency wastewater treatment, the research team designed a sequence batch reactor (SBR)/ sand filter system that is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,702 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesHospital Wastewater Treatment Using an Integrated Anaerobic Aerobic Fixed Film BioreactorA. Rezaee, M. Ansari, A. Khavanin et al.The design and operation of wastewater treatment systems for hospital is a challenge for wastewater engineers. In this study, a pilot-scale system integrated anaerobic-aerobic fixed film reactor for hospital wastewater treatment was constructed and its performance was evaluated. The aim of the study was the elimination of organic compounds and a significant reduction of bacteria. The system had been operated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,147 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesInduction of Micronuclei in Mice Lymphocytes Exposed to Microwave and TolueneS. B. Mortazavi, A. Safari, A. Khavanin et al.Increasing applications of microwave radiation are of great concern with regard to public health. Several studies have been conducted detect effects of microwave exposure genetic material leading to negative or questionable results. The Micronucleus (MN) assay which is proved to be a useful method for detection of radiation exposure-induced cytogenetic damage was used in the present study to investigate the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,614 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMethyltert-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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesApplication of the Ozonation Pre-treatment for Biodegradation of Aqueous Solutions of Methyltert-Butyl EtherM. Sadeghi, A. Mesdaghinia, A. Badkoubi et al.The effectiveness of ozone treatment for improving the biodegradability of recalcitrant pollutants has been proved by investigating the ozonation reaction of Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) a bioresistant gasoline oxygenate. Laboratory scale experiments have been carried out, at room temperature, by bubbling, for 120 min, ozonated air (3.4 ppm min-1 ) into 3 liter of an alkaline (pH=11.5) aqueous solution (100 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,463 accessesView PDF Cite
