ABSTRACT This review article critically examines the environmental and health hazards of tannery sludge (TS), a complex by‐product of the leather tanning industry. TS is characterized by a diverse array of contaminants, including heavy metals like chromium, organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds ...

Chemical and physical properties of bulk aerosols within four sectors observed during TRACE-P [PDF]
Chemical and physical aerosol data collected on the DC-8 during TRACE-P were grouped into four sectors based on back trajectories. The four sectors represent long-range transport from the west (WSW), regional circulation over the western Pacific and ...

Radiative feedback of dust aerosols on the East Asian dust storms [PDF]
A new radiative parameterization scheme of dust aerosol has been developed within a mesoscale dust storm (DS) forecasting model to study the direct radiation of dust aerosol by incorporating both online forecasted dust concentrations and the updated dust reflective index.

Vertical Structures of Dust Aerosols over East Asia Based on CALIPSO Retrievals
The spatiotemporal and especially the vertical distributions of dust aerosols play crucial roles in the climatic effect of dust aerosol. In the present study, the spatial-temporal distribution of dust aerosols over East Asia was investigated using Cloud ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Auger spectroscopy of stratospheric particles : the influence of aerosols on interplanetary dust [PDF]
Particle collections from the stratosphere via either the JSC Curatorial Program or the U2 Program (NASA Ames) occur between 16km and 19km altitude and are usually part of ongoing experiments to measure parameters related to the aerosol layer.

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the impact of dust accumulation and temperature on the performance of monocrystalline and polycrystalline photovoltaic (PV) panels under the climatic conditions of Niamey, Niger, with a focus on seasonal variations. High‐resolution performance data were collected across the rainy, Harmattan, and hot seasons to evaluate ...

ACE-ASIA - Regional climatic and atmospheric chemical effects of Asian dust and pollution [PDF]
Although continental-scale plumes of Asian dust and pollution reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth's surface and perturb the chemistry of the atmosphere, our ability to quantify these effects has been limited by a lack of critical ...
