Typology of Environmental Crimes in Iran (Case Study: Crimes Related to Environmental Pollution)

The purpose of the research is to identify the types of environmental pollution crimes in Iran. This research is a theoretical type that has been done by survey and analysis and has been done in 3 stages. Initially, an initial list of environmental crimes was used by a semi-structured interview method. Sampling was determined by […]

Assessing the risk of environmental pollution caused by tourism activities (recreation – sports) in natural environments of Shahrood County

The purpose of this study is to identify environmental pollution caused by tourism activities in Shahrood county and environmental risk assessment. In the first step, tourism sites (recreational-sports) in the study area were identified. In the next step, the type and extent of environmental pollution in each were identified and their zoning map was drawn. […]

Biomass and carbon sequestration of native forests in the northwest of Iran

The estimation of carbon storage and accumulation in forest ecosystems is essential to assess the role of these ecosystems in the global carbon budget. Therefore, we considered the potential and distribution of organic carbon in the natural pure and mixed beech, oak and maple forests of Fandogloo region of Ardabil province in Iran. In each […]

Effects of Fe2o3 and Co2o3 nanoparticles on Organisms in Freshwater

Nanoparticles (NPs) are causing threats to the environment. In this review, we examined how hematite (Fe2O3) and cobalt oxide (Co2O3) nanoparticles impact the species of freshwater green algae Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris). We exposed laboratory cultures to five initial concentrations of nanoparticles and measured impacts on species in 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 […]

Identifying and prioritizing the factors influencing industrial waste management using Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP)

Over the past few decades, human societies have faced one of the most significant consequences of industrial development. That is the improper transportation and disposal of hazardous and industrial-specific waste, which accounts for a large share of the total pollution of the environment, and its destructive effects on creating environmental crises are quite evident. The […]

Investigation and determination of land use effects on surface water quality in semi-arid areas: Case study on Qarasu River in Iran

Increasing population growth and civilization have caused great impacts on water quality. Among these, changes and excessive exploitation of land use have led to changes in the surface water quality to provide human needs. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of land use on water quality using a spatial-statistical approach. To this end, the […]

Evaluating waste management practices of street vendors in the informal settlement of Cape Town: a case study of Khayelitsha

Despite being classified as informal, street vendors play a crucial role in urban economies. Street selling and rubbish picking are the primary occupations engaged in by those affected by unregulated urbanization. These activities also subject them to other waste-related challenges within the outdoor setting. This waste is not properly disposed of, which in turn poses […]

The relationship between cadmium pollution, soil biology, and Atropa belladonna growth

Cadmium, a heavy metal, can have devastating effects on the activity and composition of soil organisms. This can lead to environmental pollution which can be detrimental to human health. In order to evaluate the quality of contaminated soils, microbial parameters are used. The Atropa belladonna was used in a factorial experiment to investigate the efficacy […]

Desalination of Caspian Sea water by using graphene oxide-based covalent organic frameworks and HDTMA-modified Iranian natural Zeolite

The depletion of freshwater resources emphasizes the significance of water desalination, while the high energy consumption and operating costs associated with existing desalination methods necessitate the search for cost-effective solutions. Therefore, this study presents a unique and innovative solution by employing advanced materials, specifically the combination of graphene oxide (GO)-based covalent organic frameworks (COF) and […]
