Approximately 1 billion tons of phosphogypsum (PG), a by-product of the fertilizer industry, are currently stacked in Florida. PG emits radon gas, which is a risk factor for lung cancer and can also increase particulate matter (PM) associated non-cancer mortality in exposed individuals. We measured concentrations of atmospheric radon and particulat...

Landfall of the Amphan (very severe cyclonic storm) occurred at 1730 hrs Indian Standard Time (IST) on May 20, 2020, near the West Bengal (W.B.) coast of India. High wind speed, storm surge, and torrential rainfall-induced flooding caused devastation in W.B. The present study aims to analyse the impacts of Amphan cyclone on land use/land cover (LUL...

The present study explored the effect of local meteorology on the dispersion of PM2.5 from a 30-year open municipal solid waste (MSW) dumpsite in Chennai, India. The spatial monitoring was conducted in and around the dumpsite to understand the impacts of dumpsite activities on the nearby residential area. Results showed that dumpsite activities are...

Biomonitoring is a significant method for evaluating aquatic life forms and their environments. The longer the process continues, the results of it become more precise. Benthic macroinvertebrates’ exposure to changes in environmental conditions makes them an important part of any biomonitoring program. This paper reviews a long-term water quality o...

The moisture content of the municipal solid waste (MSW) is a physical characteristic that plays a fundamental role in the stability and settlement of landfills. However, this physical index is difficult to monitor within the mass of landfilled MSW because it undergoes great variation due, mainly, to the heterogeneity and biodegradation of the waste...

The municipal solid waste (MSW) dump in Boragaon, Guwahati, lies on the fringe areas of the wetland, Deepor Beel, which is a Ramsar site. The study was undertaken to analyze the impact the solid waste dump has on the adjoining wetland. Five sampling locations (S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5) in the wetland were selected within a distance of 3000 m from the ...

Magnetically modified nanomaterials have recently gained a great attention in wastewater treatment. In this study, the uptake process of methylene blue (MB) and methyl violet (MV) from aqueous media using wheat bran sawdust/Fe3O4 composite was studied. To specify the surface and structural properties of the wheat bran sawdust/Fe3O4 composite, vario...
