Abstract:
... It is well known that the quality of the acoustic environment is very often degraded by major environmental interventions such as extended motorways. Considering this, the European Union has imposed relevant legislation on its member states to monitor these environmental changes/interventions and to develop strategic noise maps and action plans, in order to protect the natural and human environmen ...

Abstract:
... Many studies of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in pools have focused on haloacetic acids, trihalomethanes, and chloramines, with less studies investigating the occurrence of other DBPs, such as haloketones, haloacetaldehydes, haloacetonitriles, halonitromethanes, and haloacetamides. Furthermore, while many studies have achieved a broadscreen analysis across several pools, fewer studies have follo ...
