The earth’s atmosphere contains minute particles suspended within it. These atmospheric particles influence the earth's radiation budget through their ability to absorb and scatter radiation. Black carbon (BC) is a type ...

The World Health Organization (WHO) attributes air pollution to 1 in 8 deaths worldwide, where exposure to indoor air pollutants is a significant contributor to incidences of heart disease, respiratory problems, and cancer ...

The rapid economic and population growth of Qatar during the last few decades led to generation of substantial volume of municipal treated sewage effluent (TSE). Most of this water was disposed into Abu Nakhla depression ...

Exploitation of conventional energy resources has caused a deliberate increase in the emitted carbon in the atmosphere, which catalyzes global warming trends. This is a matter of concern, especially in Qatar, where fossil ...

Dolomite is a common Mg-rich carbonate in the geological record, but the mechanism of its formation remains unclear. At low temperature, the incorporation of magnesium ions into the carbonate minerals necessary to form ...

Composite dust samples were collected on a monthly basis over a full year from Doha, Qatar. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) was used for the determination of total concentrations of Na, K, Mg, Ca, Li, ...

Arrays of tidal energy converters have the potential to provide clean renewable energy for future generations. Benthic communities may, however, be affected by changes in current speeds resulting from arrays of tidal ...

The synthetic industry has destroyed the life span of human beings due to environmental pollution. The discharged organic pollutants can be degraded by many physicochemical techniques, among them the heterogeneous ...

Atmospheric aerosols and dust have become a challenge for urban air quality. The pre-sented study quantified seasonal spatio-temporal variations of aerosols, tropospheric ozone, and dust over the Middle East (ME) for the ...

The winter fog/haze events in northeastern Pakistan and surrounding regions of India are often mixed with pollutants to form smog, and consequently damage human health and hampers daily life in the form of fatalities through ...
