Evaluation of Some Organic Pollutants Transport into the Shallow Groundwater and Surface Water of Jiaxing Landfill Area

Abstract

Problem statement: Hangjiahu regions belong to the Yangtze River Delta region in Zhejiang Province in China. The vast majority of this region is flat, so surface and groundwater both have a low flow rate. With the rapid economic development of the area, a large number of industrial and domestic garbage are generated. These landfill or garbage are exposed and stacked. Because of mismanagement of environment, the atmosphere under the leaching rainfall, results in harmful gases and leachate. A serious pollution of the atmosphere surrounding the dump, soil, surface water and groundwater occurred. By studying the area under different hydro geological conditions this groundwater pollution due to the landfill can be stopped and prevented. This research can also provide a scientific basis. Approach: Some samples were taken to some specific sampling points in order to do chemical analysis. A hydro geological investigation was done on the study area. By using all these data, groundwater pollution was evaluated and predicted through numerical simulation software: Groundwater Modeling System (GMS), from 2006-2007. Results: A total of six main organic pollutants were found in the entire study area including: toluene, dichloropropane, benzene, dichloroethane, chloroform and dichloromethane. There concentration increased form 2006 to 2007 and is higher in surface water than groundwater. Conclusion/Recommendations: Experimental and simulation results were compared and showed that close agreement between these two values were obtained. The application of ecological methods to remove harmful substances such as the cultivation of suitable plants is also necessary.

Modeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour of Thai Expressive Speech using Fujisaki's Model and Structural Model

“…In other words, the structural model gives the better fit for modeling of the F0 contour of the expressive speech than that of the Fujisaki's model. The results of all sentences confirm this observation (Suhartono, 2011;Souleymane et al, 2009;Geravanchizadeh and Rezaii, 2009;Camminatiello and Lucademo, 2010;Nicknam et al, 2009).…”

Heavy Exposure of Waste Collectors to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in a Poor Rural Area of Middle China

“…Relatively primitive technologies are employed to harvest reusable components while useless parts are mainly disposed of in landfills . In recent years, local Chinese government agencies have regulated to stop waste landfill to prevent migration of pollutants from the waste to groundwater and soil. , However, without effective methods to dispose of nonrecyclable components, waste collectors in rural areas have resorted to burning the refuse in their own backyards. Crude methods of incineration are well-known to generate harmful air pollutants that not only contaminate the environment but also pose significant health hazards, most especially to the waste collectors. , …”

Creating a GIS Application for Retail Facilities Planning in Jeddah City

“…Today, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are used at several planning applications including land use planning (Eldarndaly, 2009), health care planning, environmental planning (Saberioon et al, 2010), forest planning (Hasmadi et al, 2010) landscape planning (Elhadi et al, 2009;Andrea, 2010;Saberioon et al, 2010;Jusoff, 2010;Solaimani et al, 2009;Jalloh et al, 2009) and water planning ( Tung et al, 2009;Maio et al, 2010;Keita et al, 2009). Retail planning is considered as one of the planning fields that could benefit from using this novel technology.…”
