Heavy metals contamination is regarded as an environmental pollutant which could be transferred from water sources to soil, plants, animals and human. This study aimed to investigate the removal of lead and nickel from water sources by activated alumina as a low-cost adsorbent. In this regard, a sample of artificial effluent with concentrations of 5 […]
The development of nanotechnology and the possible entry of nanoparticles into aquatic environments have raised environmental concerns. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) loaded on carbon to remove malathion in order to evaluate the toxicity potential of nanoparticles in aqueous environments. We examined the characteristics of iron oxide […]

The coastal areas of Gilan province in Iran as an important tourist destination have been attracting always special attention of many tourists, investors and operators of […]
Current studies are performed to review the past 20 years literature regarding the impact of global warming and climatic changes on water availability, its quality/quantity/yield and consequent effects on nutrients, freshwater and biota. Water resources are susceptible to changes in climate. The water holding capacity of the atmosphere is increased with the rise of temperature. […]
Existing conditions for locating urban equipment and facilities require a set of limiting and reinforcing factors. Interaction of environmental, industrial, social and political changes in our rapid growth adds to the complexity of regional systems. Locating takes place by various methods, in which the priority is the application of modern methods leading to reduced uncertainty. […]
