Presence of copper within water bodies deteriorates human health and degrades natural environment. This heavy metal in water is treated using a promising biochar derived from rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) peel through slow pyrolysis. This research c...
Identifying potential persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) substances from industrial chemical inventories are essential for chemical risk assessment, management, and pollution control. Inspired by the...
The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), one of widely utilized variables for water quality assessment, is metric for the ecological division in rivers. Since the traditional approach to predict BOD is time-consuming and inaccurate due to inconstancies i...
A new version of the fuzzy logic model, called the co-active neuro fuzzy inference system (CANFIS), is introduced for predicting standardized precipitation index (SPI). Multiple scales of drought information at six meteorological stations located in ...
The accurate modelling and prediction of air temperature values is an exceptionally important meteorological variable that affects in many areas. The present study is aimed at developing models for the prediction of monthly mean air temperature value...
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and chlorophyll-a concentration are two critical parameters to monitor water quality. Since directly collecting samples for laboratory analysis can be expensive, this paper presents a methodology to estimate this informat...
Environmental contamination by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is widespread, because of both their decades of use, and their persistence in the environment. These factors can make identification of the source of contamination in samples a...

Since operating urban air quality stations is not only time consuming but also costly, and because air pollutants can cause serious health problems, this paper presents the hourly prediction of ten air pollutant concentrations (CO, NH, NO, NO, NO, O,...
