Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHistorical Changes in Polychlorinated Biphenyls Contaminated SedimentsViet D. Dang, David M. Walters, Cindy M. LeeProblem statement: PCBs contamination continues to pose a health risk to aquatic environments due to their recalcitrance and bioaccumulation. The Sangamo Weston/Twelvemile Creek/Lake Hartwell Superfund Site is an example of such a health risk as a result of PCBs discharged from a former capacitor manufacturing plant. We conducted a study in twelvemile creek (Clemson, SC, USA) to examine the temporal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2012 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Waste: A Contribution to Improve the Present Technical-Judicial ModelGiancarlo Carosso, Cesare Luceri, Pierpaolo OresteThe expression &#34the transboundary movement of hazardous waste&#34 refers, from the technical point of view, to a series of phases that begin with the creation of a hazardous waste and includes its identification according to international, regional and national standards, its delivery to specialized companies and its movement from the exporting country to the importing country; these phases end with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 13 Jul 2012 · 7,156 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReprocess of Copper from Worn Printed Circuit BoardsSwarnambiga A.K., M. Vidya Kalaivani, Sarah Sathyawathi, T.S. Ramyaa LakshmiThe objective of the study is to reuse printed circuit boards which are mainly made of copper. Most top down and bottom up approaches for the synthesis of Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) needs pure copper (II) sulfate or any other copper salts as a raw material. For the expensive non-ecofriendly reasons, here we used wasted Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) as an … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2019 · 7,486 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractReal-Time Automatic Inspection System for the Classification of PCB Flux DefectsAng Teoh Ong, Aouache Mustapha, Zulkifilie Bin Ibrahim et al.Automatic inspection based on a real-time machine vision system may serve as substitute for the manual human visual inspection of flux defects in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), which often cause damage on the board in the form of corrosions that harm the assembly. The concept of automatic inspection contributes to the improvement of the manufacturing quality of PCBs and facilitates … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Aug 2015 · 8,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe International Multimodal Transport of Hazardous Goods and WasteGiancarlo Carosso, Cesare Luceri, Pierpaolo OresteThe international multimodal transport of hazardous goods and waste is a sector of remarkable economic importance. This transport activity is connected to several productive sectors and it can have considerable repercussions on the environment and health as well as on the safety of the workers and third parties that study in the same field. A certain part of the transport … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 10 Jul 2012 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Gene Expression in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Following Exposure to Gaseous Diffusion Plant Effluent and Effluent Receiving Stream WaterBen F. Brammell, Andrew J. WiggintonProblem statement: The expression of six genes known to serve as bioindicators of environmental stress were examined using real-time quantitative PCR in liver tissue extracted from zebrafish (Danio rerio, Hamilton) exposed to effluent and effluent containing stream water associated with the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP). Approach: The PGDP, the only active uranium enrichment facility in the US, is located … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
