Airport Noise and Residential Housing Valuation in Souther California: A Hedonic Pricing Approach
Journal Title: International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology - Year 2004, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
A large and detailed data set is used to examine the influence of airports and airport light paths on housing prices. The results indicate that individuals consider airport proximity and airport flight patterns in their housing purchases. This shows that there exist two distinct measurable price gradients that distinguish large airports from small airports. In addition, homes located under the flight path of a large airport have a price gradient that is significantly larger than homes located under the flight path of a small airport.

Specific methanogenic activity of halophilic and mixed cultures in saline wastewater
Wastewater containing high concentrations of salt, are difficult to treat using biological treatment processes, especially anaerobic processes. Limited information is available on methanogenic activity in saline environm...
Effect of salinity on chlorophyll concentration, leaf area, yield and yield components of rice genotypes grown under saline environment
Salt tolerance in eighteen advanced rice genotypes was studied under an artificially salinized (EC=8.5 dSm-1) soil conditions after 90 days of transplanting. The results showed that the yield per plant, chlorophyll conce...
