Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAmbient Levels of Primary and Secondary Pollutants in a Residential Area: Population Risk and Hazard Index Calculation over a Three Years Study PeriodS. Al-Salem, A. Al-FadhleeThis paper aims at presenting data collected over the period of three years (2004-2006) in a residential area in the state of Kuwait. The data collected include ambient levels of primary and secondary pollutants with a number of metrological parameters. A series of unfiltered and filtered concentration roses were plotted to determine the predominant sources as well as the prevailing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAutomobile Spray Paint Dust and Human Health: A Multi-Site Environmental Health Risk Assessment of Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Effects in South-Eastern NigeriaAdindu Ihuoma Blossom, Ubouh Emmanuel Attah, Obasi Kalu Omokorie, Raimi Morufu OlalekanInformal automobile spray-painting operations release metal-laden dust, posing occupational and residential health risks. Seasonal variations, receptor-specific exposure, and metal composition influence non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic hazards, yet data from South-Eastern Nigeria remain limited. This study quantified heavy-metal exposure in automobile spray-paint dust, assessed receptor-specific non-carcinogenic (HI) and carcinogenic (ILCR) risks, examined seasonal and metal-specific trends, and evaluated source attribution to inform … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2026 · 1,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRocks with Asbestos: Risk Evaluation by Means of an Abrasion TestBellopede Rossana, Clerici Carlo, Marini Paola, Zanetti GiovannaNaturally occurring asbestos and asbestiform minerals can be found in metamorphic rocks and in the soil of the alluvial plains. Problem statement: The definition of the "free-asbestos rock" and the limit to consider a rock or a soil safe is still a controversial issue. American and European laws did not present any method to define the hazard of the green … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGroundwater Resources Pollution Risk: Application of the Holman MethodM. De Maio, C. Favaron, G. NocerinoProblem statement: The aim of this study is to make an attempt to assess, through the application of the Holman Method, the effects that a careless management of human induced activities could have on aquifers and in particular on tapping wells used for human supply. Approach: The study had been applied to two different territories, as far as both the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Characteristics Assessment, Bioaccumulation and Health Risk Evaluation of Possible Ingestion of Toxic and Essential Metals in Chromidotilapia guntheri Sourced from Ada River, West AfricaTunde Ohiokhioya Thaddeus Imoobe, Eugene Iragboghie Okhakhu, Osikemekha Anthony AnaniThe water ecosystem has been acclaimed to be polluted with various chemicals that may pose possible risks to the biota therein and affect the end consumers who ingest them via the food chain system. This study evaluates the water characteristics, bioaccumulation and non-carcinogenic risk potentials in the ingestion of toxic metals like (Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn and Pb) in Chromidotilapia … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2024 · 4,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredictive Dynamics of Channel Pattern Changing Trends at Arial Khan River (1977-2018), BangladeshRathindra Nath Biswas, Md. Juel Mia, M. Nazrul IslamArial Khan River is right bank distributary of Ganges-Padma River systems flowing southwest region of Bangladesh. It is morphologically very dynamic meandering river: where the delta-building process is more active than other distributaries of Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) River basin. This study analyzes, morphological variables- channel length, valley length, channel area and channel patterns of Arial Khan River. A major portion of … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2018 · 9,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOdds Exponential Log Logistic Distribution: Properties and EstimationRosaiah Kanaparthi, Gadde Srinivasa Rao, Kruthiventi Kalyani, Devireddy Charana Udaya SivakumarWe propose a distribution called Odds Exponential Log Logistic Distribution (OELLD), which is an odds family of distribution. Its hazard rate is an increasing and decreasing function based on the value of the parameter. Explicit expressions for the ordinary moments, L-moments, quantile, generating functions, Bonferroni Curve, Lorenz Curve, Gini's index and order statistics are derived. The parameters of the proposed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2017 · 7,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Fish in Saudi ArabiaOthman M. HakamiHeavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead constitute a serious threat to human health. Generally, regular consumption of fish is recommended because it is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been associated with health benefits. However, flesh of some fish species contains heavy metals in high concentration, which may pose health risk for individuals that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 3 Dec 2016 · 8,702 accessesView PDFCite
