Background and Objectives: Phenol is extensively used in various industries and it is mainly discharged to the enviroment from their effluents. In this study, the effectivness of UV activated periodate for removal of phenol in aqueous solutions was investigated.
Materials and Methods: In this research,experimens were conducted in a bench scale stainless steel reactor equipped with a 55W Hg vapor lamp. The effects of operational parameters such as solution pH (3-10), initial phenol concentration (50-500 mg/L), periodate concentration (8-100 mmol/L) were evaluated. Further, ionic strengh was changed to study its impact on the performance. The final concentration of phenol and mineralization rate were determined using DR-6000 spectrophotometer (at thewavelenght of 500 nm) and COD analysis, respectively.
Results:The findings indicated that the removal of phenol was influenced by different operational parameters. The highest removal rate was obtained at acidic conditions (pH=3), initial periodate concentration of 20 mmol/Land contact time of 60 min, which more than 99.1% of phenol was removed under these optimal conditions. Also,the results showed that maximum COD removal rate was 69% in optimum conditions. It was found that different ionic strengths did not affect the phenol removal rate.
Conclusions:The results indicated that UV activated persulfate process in optimal condition can be used as an alternative technology for treatment of various industrial wastewaters containing phenol.

Background & objectives: Considering the population trend in Iran, an increase in the number of the elderly, and the significance of evaluating their health status, the present study was aimed to determinate the health status of the elderly in Nain, Iran.
Materials and Methods: Present research was a descriptive-analytic study (cross-sectional). The study population consisted of 220 elderly people from Nain who were randomly selected using randomized simple table from among households with elderly over 60. After the informed consent was obtained from the elderly, data were collected in face-to-face, in-person interviews. In order to determine their health status, The Short Form Health Survey-12 (SF-12) questionnaire was utilized.
Results: The mean age of the subjects was 69.52±7.4 years. The linear regression test showed that there was linear relationship between the physical and mental health status after adjusting the demographic and socioeconomic variables, ANOVA showed no significant relationship between the health status and age, but there was a significant association between the income level and the health score (P<0.05). Tukey's post-hoc test shows that the total health score in the poor income subgroup is lower than the other groups (P<0.001) and no significant difference was seen in other subgroups.
Conclusions: The health status of the elderly was moderate in Nain. Since factors such as the education level, marital status, income level, and economic conditions affect elderly people’s health, it is necessary to take these into account and conduct appropriate interventions in this field.
