    Abstract: The reduction of the quantity of water that flows in the lowlands of Sine Saloun, toward the ocean, has favored saltwater intrusion. To fight against, anti-salt dikes were built. This study aimed to analyze: (1) the rainfall over the last years, in the region, in order to determine its variability likely to impact outcropping of salt. (2) The impac... Show More

    Abstract: Dye waste water pollutants are the major sources of environmental pollution. Textile waste water introduces intensive color and toxicity to aquatic system. Dyes possess complex aromatic structure. Hence conventional biological treatment methods are ineffective for decolourisation and degradation. Now a day’s Heterogeneous photocatalysis method is u...

    Abstract: Presently bottled sweet drinks are widely consumed by different age groups of individuals all over the world. Since bottling until consumption of sweet drinks, residual gas containing 222Rn and 220Rn isotopes is formed. To assessradiation dose to the consumers from the ingestion of sweet drinks, 222Rn and 220Rn concentrations were measured in diffe... Show More
