The decommissioning of nuclear power plants (NPPs) is rapidly increasing because NPPs
are not only no longer profitable in many cases but are also being decommissioned due to a …

Air pollution poses the greatest risk of death for humans and has become a global cause of
concern. The global population spends an average of 90% of their time indoors; therefore …

The thermal cutting of contaminated or activated metals during decommissioning nuclear
power plants inevitably results in the release of radioactive aerosol. Since radioactive …

Pathogenic microbial aerosols (PMA), the typical environmental pollutants, are among the
major threats to human health. Here, we developed a new plasma air purification system …

To regulate the safety protocols in nuclear facilities, radioactive aerosols have been
extensively researched to understand their health impacts. However, most measured …

The efficacy of filters to trap volatile radiotoxic nuclear fission products depends on the
thermodynamic stability of these species within the filter material. Using atomic scale …

An air conditioning unit with the HEPA filter should be operated in the dismantling
workspace of nuclear power plants because of massive release of radioactive aerosols due …

Airplanes are certainly a remarkable success of engineering. They are designed for
operating in a formidable environment. Every aircraft is a compound of systems that are …

The abrasive water jet (AWJ) is an immensely popular tool to machine hard-to-cut materials.
Taking the surface roughness as the metric of cutting quality, this paper designs and …

With increasing global concerns regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) and air pollution,
concerns about regularly replacing ventilation devices, particularly high-efficiency …
