Management of Radioactive Disused Sources and Materials out of Regulatory Control in Lebanon
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Radioactive sources are used in different fields and mainly in medicine, industry, agriculture, and research. However, the use of these sources should be accompanied with adequate safety and security measures. In Lebanon, ... -
Exclusion of Pharmaceutical Compounds by UA Assisted EC Process
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)The toxicity of pharmaceutical pollutants affects aquatic life as well as the environment on all levels of the natural hierarchy. Therefore, to maintain the natural environment it is crucial to exclude pharmaceutical ... -
Removal of Turbidity and Assessment of Groundwater Contribution during Riverbank Filtration
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Indian rivers carry large sediment loads. During monsoon season when river discharge is high, rivers carry suspended particles, silt, clay, and organic substances, causing river water turbidity that is not suitable for ... -
Multimetal Adsorption Isotherm Studies of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag from Municipal Solid Waste Leachate
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)This paper aims to study the simultaneous adsorption of multiple heavy metal ions present in municipal solid waste (MSW) leachate. Leachate samples have been found to contain the heavy metal ions copper [Cu (1.22 mg/L)], ... -
Effect of Fly Ash, GGBS, and Metakaolin on Mechanical and Durability Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete Made with 100% Coarse Recycled Aggregate
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)In developing country such as India, due to the significant boom in the infrastructure development the virgin aggregates (VAs) resources are diminishing at a high pace and thus creating an ecological imbalance. In contrast, ... -
Solubilization of Heavy Metals during Anaerobic Digestion of Sewage Sludge Using Acidogenesis
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Sewage sludge produced by many municipal wastewater treatment plants contains various heavy metals that limit its use on agricultural land. The existing treatment processes for removing heavy metals are not cost-effective ... -
Influence of Metal Speciation in Wastewater Sludge on Antibiotic Distribution
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)The analytical study was conducted to evaluate the concentration of ciprofloxacin (CIP), chlortetracycline (CTC), and chosen metals in a wastewater treatment plant. The concentration of CIP was slightly higher in the ... -
Modeling Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Polluted Aquatic Environment of a River
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Excess use of antibiotics has led to antibiotic pollution in the environment, and now polluted sites have become hotspots for evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance in environmental bacteria. Subinhibitory concentration ... -
Synthesis of Ultralight Cement Using Solid Waste Fly Ash Cenosphere for Low-Fracture Gradient Formation with Reduced Shrinkage
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)The significant generation of fly ash from coal fired thermal power plants tends to cause air pollution and health hazards. The cenospheres that are a component of fly ash are spherical in shape, light density, and particle ... -
Health Risk Assessment and Characterization of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon from the Hydrosphere
