Each year, more than 25 million vehicles reach their end-of-life (ELV) throughout the world and this number is rising rapidly with time. Most of the developed countries like Japan and EU nations have strict policies to manage the ELV in efficient way. In this research we aim to clarify the impact of end-of life-vehicles (ELV) regulation on...

Economic analysis of environmental policy asserts that the negative impact of economic activities on the environment constitutes an externality. Environmental policies are designed to deal with externalities either by internalizing environmental costs or imposing specific standards for environmental pollution. In this research we aim to clarify the...

This study is an effort to trace the implication of tidal fluctuation on coastal groundwater quality for different aquifers in case of Saijo plain, western Japan, through major ion, heavy metal and isotopic chemistry as well as to estimate aquifer parameters by tidal response method. Time series analysis for chemical characteristics depicts that...

Arsenic contamination in groundwater is of increasing concern because of its high toxicity and widespread occurrence. This study is an effort to trace the factors responsible for arsenic enrichment in groundwater of the middle Gangetic Plain of India through major ion chemistry, arsenic speciation, sediment grain-size analyses, and multivariate...
