Coal use for residential heating: Patterns, health implications and lessons learned

Kerimray, Aiymgul; Rojas-Solórzano, Luis; Amouei Torkmahalleh, Mehdi; Hopke, Philip K.; Ó Gallachóir, Brian P. (Energy for Sustainable Development, 2017-10-01)

Abstract Residential coal consumption has decreased significantly since 1990 in most developed and developing countries, due to fuel switching. However, there are still countries with a high proportion of households using ...
Intermolecular interactions and its effect within Cr3+-containing atmospheric particulate matter using molecular dynamics simulations

Shah, Dhawal; Aldamzharov, Bekbol; Bukayeva, Assel; Amouei Torkmahalleh, Mehdi; Ahmadi, Goodarz (Atmospheric Environment, 2017-10-01)

Abstract Efforts have been dedicated recently to monitor, quantify, and explore the effects of VOCs on Cr containing atmospheric particles. However, considering difficulties in real-time experimental measurements, several ...
Investigating the impact of different sport trainings on particulate matter resuspension in a sport center using well-characterized reference instruments and a low-cost monitor

Amouei Torkmahalleh, Mehdi; Kabay, Karakat; Bazhanova, Meruyet; Mohiuddin, Obaidullah; Obaidullah, Madina; Gorjinezhad, Soudabeh (Science of The Total Environment, 2018-01-15)

Abstract The present study investigated the exposure of teenagers, adults, and students to PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, particle number concentration at two sport facilities of Nazarbayev University including Gymnastics Hall and ...
Key factors impacting performance of a salinity gradient solar pond exposed to Mediterranean climate

Amouei Torkmahalleh, Mehdi; Askari, Mohammad; Gorjinezhad, Soudabeh; Eroğlu, Dilem; Obaidullah, Madina; Habib, Abdullrahman Rajab; Godelek, Sevgi; Kadyrov, Sultan; Kahraman, Orhun; Pakzad, Negar Zare; Ahmadi, Goodarz (Solar Energy, 2017-01-15)

Abstract Solar ponds are low cost pools of brine solutions with integrated storage zones that harvest incident solar energy and store it as thermal energy. The current study examined the performance of a salinity gradient ...
Review of factors impacting emission/concentration of cooking generated particulate matter

Amouei Torkmahalleh, Mehdi; Gorjinezhad, Soudabeh; Unluevcek, Hediye Sumru; Hopke, Philip K. (Science of The Total Environment, 2017-05-15)

Abstract Studies have shown that exposure to particulate matter (PM) emitted while cooking is related to adverse human health effects. The level of PM emissions during cooking varies with several factors. This study reviewed ...
Simulation of environmental impact of an existing natural gas dehydration plant using a combination of thermodynamic models

Amouei Torkmahalleh, Mehdi; Magazova, Galiya; Magazova, Aliya; Hassani Rad, Seyed Jamal (Process Safety and Environmental Protection, 2016-11-01)

Abstract A new approach was presented to improve the simulation results of an existing TEG based natural gas dehydration plant, using Aspen Plus software. Furthermore, the environmental impact of the plant was investigated. ...
Size segregated PM and its chemical composition emitted from heated corn oil

Amouei Torkmahalleh, Mehdi; Gorjinezhad, Soudabeh; Keles, Melek.; Ozturk, Fatma; Hopke, Philip K. (Environmental Research, 2017-04-01)

Abstract Characterization of the airborne particulate matter (PM) emitted from cooking components including cooking oil, and additives like salt has not been carefully investigated. This study provides new data on the ...
