Change analysis in the United Arab Emirates: An investigation of
Much of the landscape of the United Arab Emirates has been transformed over the past 15 years by massive afforestation, beautification, and agricultural programs. The "greening" of the United Arab Emirates has had environmental consequences, however, including degraded groundwater quality and possible damage to natural regional ecosystems.
Baseline investigation on plasticizers, bisphenol A, polycyclic
Therefore, we have taken the first attempt to investigate a cocktail of hazardous substances viz., plasticizers, (i.e. six phthalic acid esters (PAEs) and bis (2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA), bisphenol A (BPA); sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) enlisted in USEPA and eight heavy metals (HMs) in the surface soil of e-waste recycling workshops and nearby open dumpsites in
