Risk assessment of workers' exposure to BTEX and hazardous area classification at gasoline stations.
Vaporization of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) compounds pollutes the air and causes health hazards at gasoline stations. This study revealed the risk of BTEX exposure according to the hazardous area classification at gasoline stations.

INTER METHOD COMPARISONS OFAMBIENT BTEX MEASUREMENTS
Arising from concern about possible impacts of petroleum vapours on the local community in a residential area of the south Durban industrial basin, ECOSERV were employed to develop and implement an air quality monitoring program. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) compounds were selected as the most appropriate indicator pollutants for ...

Abstract In situ remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater demands real‐time monitoring to capture complex subsurface dynamics. Geophysical methods, particularly electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and induced polarization (IP), offer non‐ or minimally invasive, high‐resolution imaging of subsurface changes during remediation.

Ambient mixing ratios of nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) in two major urban centers of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region: Guangzhou and Dongguan [PDF]
The Pearl River Delta (PRD) region can be considered one of the most economically developed areas of mainland China. In September 2005, a total of 96 whole air samples were collected in Guangzhou and Dongguan, two important urban centers of the PRD ...

Salt‐Freshwater Mixing and Submarine Groundwater Discharge in Sloping Unconfined Tidal Aquifers
Abstract Previous studies have revealed the groundwater flow and salt transport in unconfined coastal aquifers in response to numerous factors. However, previous studies assumed a flat aquifer base, and it is unclear how a sloping aquifer base would affect the subsurface flow and salinity distributions.

Unveiling Global Diversity of Patescibacteriota and Functional Interactions with Host Microbes
Patescibacteriota represents a diverse group of ultra‐small epibiotic bacteria, which is largely overlooked. By integrating ribosomal protein S3‐based community profiling with MAG‐based metabolic potential analyses, this study provides new insights into their distribution, diversity, and potential interactions with other bacteria across diverse ...

Simulation of benzene transport and biodegradation during transient hydraulic conditions [PDF]
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2000MODFLOW and BIOMOC were used to simulate transport and biodegradation of benzene in the alluvial aquifer adjacent to the Chena River. MODFLOW was used to calculate ground water fluxes at the boundaries of
