Preliminary Comparison of Radioisotope Concentration in Sewage Sludge after the Fukushima and Chernobyl Accidents
Abstract Radioisotope concentrations (Cs-137 and I-131) in sewage sludge, obtained on a daily basis in the Fukushima city wastewater treatment plant from end of April 2011 until end of December 2013, have been analysed for their evolution with time, ...

Does urban forestry have a quantitative effect on ambient air quality in an urban environment?
Abstract Increasing urban greenspace has been proposed as a means of reducing airborne pollutant concentrations; however limited studies provide experimental data, as opposed to model estimates, of its ability to do so. The current project examined...

Differences in satellite-derived NOx emission factors between Eurasian and North American boreal forest fires
Abstract Current fire emission inventories apply universal emission factors (EFs) for the calculation of NO x emissions over large biomes such as boreal forest. However, recent satellite-based studies...
