Analysis of the models for life cycle assessment of the building and building products
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 6Nr. 1
The environment is the relations in life and all settings life is consist of. A building is an artificial environment designed and built to meet the users' needs. These needs are fulfilled with the properties of building products that form the building. Building and building products are directly or indirectly in interaction with the environment during their life cycle process.There are some models like 'LEED', 'Athena', 'BEES', 'BRE', 'Analytica', 'Pre', 'GaBi', 'TEAM', 'GB Tool', 'Woolley','Cu...

Bioreactors with stirred bed of immobilized cells 1. Studies on mixing efficiency
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 6Nr. 2
The models describing the flow or the heat and mass transfer in stirred bioreactors can be easily adapted for the continuous phase from the stirred bed bioreactors. But, for the immobilized biocatalyst phase, new models have to be established. Therefore, in this paper the influences of the main factors on mixing for a bioreactor with stirred bed of S. cerevisiae immobilized cells in alginate have been analyzed.. The mixing efficiency continuously increases with rotation speed acceleration for th...

Application of polycations in separation processes
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 6Nr. 5
AbstractFlocculation performance of three chitosan samples with different viscosities (? = 400, 800 and 1000 mPas) and two strong synthetic polycations of integral type (PDADMAC and PCA5) on two model aqueous suspensions (kaolin and bentonite) was investigated. The flocculation results indicated that all the polycation samples were efficient in the kaolin flocculation, the turbidity being completely removed at approximately the same polycation dose; the flocculation window ranged between 2.7 an...

Layered double hydroxides as potential solid for obtaining more environmentally friendly pesticides
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 6Nr. 4
AbstractThe paper describes the synthesis and characterization of layered double hydroxides (LDH) intercalated with 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol(DNOC) and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (2,6DBN) by anionic exchange method. The incorporation of the organic pesticides in the structure of layered double hydroxides can offer premises to increase the pesticide active life by reducing its volatilization, controlling the release of the pesticide from the layered structure and decreasing the pesticide adsorption in s...

Quantification of lead pollution in bucharest area and potential risks for human health
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 6Nr. 5
AbstractLead is unique among the toxic air contaminants that the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified it in several ways. Lead concentration is increasing rapidly in the environment due to increased use in anthropic activity. Lead is released into the atmosphere from metallurgy and siderurgy industry, during coal burning, oil or wastes, from power plants which use solid fuel, from traffic and the building sites. Regardless the exposure mode, the presence of lead in urban air, even in r...

MONITORING OF FUNGAL AEROSOLS IN SOME EDUCATIONAL BUILDINGS FROM IAŞI, ROMANIA
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 15Nr. 4
The densities and distributions of airborne fungal spores known to cause respiratory tract disorders were monitored in three educational buildings located in different boroughs in Iaşi. Air samples from all locations were collected monthly over a period of 3 months (March-May 2011), using the Petri plate gravitational settling (passive) method. Petri plates containing nutrient media were exposed to room air for a 15-minute period, face upwards, to collect particles settling by gravity. A...

A STUDY ON THE DETERMINATION OF CUMULATIVE ABSOLUTE VELOCITY (CAV) THRESHOLD LEVELS FOR VRANCEA EARTHQUAKES
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 16Nr. 1
Natural disasters from earthquakes can cause considerable damages, with potentially severe effects to urban environment. Last strong Vrancea earthquake on March 4, 1977 (Mw=7.4, depth=95km); tens of thousands of buildings damaged, many people injured and dead. Strong earthquakes in the Vrancea zone occur between 60-200 km depth within an almost vertical column. Bucharest Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system detects earthquakes with a seismic network in the epicentral Vrancea region and issue a ...

QUANTIFICATION OF EFFECTS PRODUCED BY THE EXTRACTION OF MINERAL AGGREGATES TOWARDS WATER BODIES
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 16Nr. 4
This paper presents the research performed in view of emphasizing the effects of mineral aggregates extraction on the geomorphological and hydraulic features of Moldova body of water. The effect on the geomorphological features was assessed by overlapping the cross profiles (22 profiles) and long profiles (2 profiles) from the entire area studied. These profiles were obtained by topographical measurements on the starting date (July 2013) and on the research end date, respectively (March 2015). T...

CHEMICAL AND OPTICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SUBMICRONIC AEROSOL SOURCES
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 16Nr. 9
This study analyses the relationship between the scattering properties and the chemical compounds internal mixture of the aerosols near Bucharest, Romania. Several cases of local aerosols influenced by heating sources, like wood or fossil fuel, are characterized in order to retrieve the winter period specificity. Correlation between organic and inorganic aerosols composition from mass spectrometry measurements made with Compact Time (CT) of Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) and scatteri...

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF URBAN AND RURAL ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS IN AND NEAR BUCHAREST, ROMANIA
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 16Nr. 10
The temporal variation of the pollutant (PM10) levels over urban and rural sites in and near Bucharest was investigated from March 2014 until September 2015. The comparison between the PM10 mass concentration values at urban site and those from referential urban station of Environmental Protection Agency of Bucharest allowed us to detect certain pollution events. Considering this purpose the optical parameters characterizing the loading of the atmosphere (Aerosol Optical Depth-AOD) and the type ...
