BENTHIC COMMUNITIES IN THE RIVER NILE, EGYPT III- MEIOFAUNA AT HELWAN REGION

Polychlorinated Biphenyls Water Pollution along the River Nile, Egypt.

Ten polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners were determined in water samples collected along the River Nile using gas chromatography-electron capture detector (GC-ECD). PCB concentrations ranged from 14 to 20 μg/L, which were higher than those reported in previous studies, indicating serious PCB pollution in the River Nile. PCB congener profiles varied depending on the sampling sties. PCB-138 ...

Red Swamp Crayfish (procambarus Clarkii) in River Nile, Egypt

Adsorption and Leaching Behavior of Copper, Zinc and Lead Ions by Three Different River Nile Sediments at Aswan, Egypt

The present study was carried out to investigate the adsorption and leaching behavior of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ by sediments collected from the western banks of three different sectors along River Nile at Aswan governorate, Egypt. The feasibility of sediments for the removal of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ from aqueous solutions was tested under the effect of three conditions (pH, initial metal concentrati...

Benthic Diatoms in River Influenced By Urban Pollution, Bhavani Region, Cauvery River, South India

The present-day study assesses diatom communities in river with relation to environmental conditions. Diatoms are susceptible to environmental conditions in river and their distribution is mainly governed by the physicochemical composition of the water. Diatoms and water samples were collected in 5 locations during summer season (May 2012). Analysed data were interpreted and the results are rep...
