Liquid Effluent Discharge and Control Management of Surrounding Soil

The effluent generated from a thermal power plant waste is a mixture of several chemicals and to identify the effect of these chemicals on soil, a case study on naturally contaminated sites at Al-Musayyib region, Hilla city in Iraq has been carried out. Soil and water samples were collected from the sites and analyzed to identify the pollutants and their effect on soil characteristics. Laborato...

Genomics technology for assessing soil pollution

Transcription and metabolite analysis is a powerful way to reveal physiological shifts in response to environmental pollution. Recent studies on earthworms, including one in BMC Biology, show that the type of pollution and its availability for uptake by organisms can differentially affect transcription and metabolism.

Plant Tolerance of Low Soil pH, Soil Aluminum, and Soil Manganese

Some plants are more able than others to grow on soils with low pH. This interesting ability was not well recognized until the past 20 years or so, and it still is not fully understood. Crop tolerance of low soil pH has become extremely important in the agricultural development of the humid tropics because so many of those soils have low pH (Kamprath and Foy 1985, Salinas and Sanchez 1981, Mara...
