Anaerobic digestion (AD) as a waste treatment practice has existed for nearly 200 years and has become an accepted option for many farming and small-scale residential operations. Many...
Abstract - There exists increasing evidence supporting the important role of black carbon in global carbon cycles. Particulate black carbon (PBC) is allochthonous and has distinct reactivities...
Panel studies have shown adverse effects of air pollution from biomass burning on children’s health. This study estimated the effect of current levels of outdoor air pollution in the...
Abstract - Data on air quality are remarkably limited in the poorest of the world's countries. This is especially true for post-conflict and disaster zones, where international relief efforts...
Bulk aerosol samples collected during 2010 and 2011 at one receptor site in Córdoba City, Argentina, have been quantitatively analyzed to determine aerosol elemental composition by using SR-XRF. A...
Ground-based aerosol instrumentation covering particle size diameters from 25 nm to 32 lm was deployed to determine aerosol concentration and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN)-activation properties...
Black carbon (BC) was characterized by three complementary techniques – incandescence (single particle soot photometer, SP2, at Parque Morelos), light absorption (cavity ringdown...
Background: Globally, 2.8 billion people rely on household solid fuels. Reducing the resulting adverse health, environmental, and development consequences will involve transitioning through a mix...
This work deals with the analysis of the methane production from Mexico City’s urban organic wastes after separating soluble from suspended substances. Water was used to extract soluble...
Soil type and returning straw to the field are the important factors that regulate CH4 formation in paddy soil, and the variations of biogeochemical parameters and methanogens...
