Phytoplankton as bio-indicator of water quality in Sefid Rud River, Iran (South of Caspian Sea)

Phytoplanktons are the first bio- indicators of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Phytoplankton assemblage and aquatic ecosystems are always influenced by environmental factors therefore these environmental changes and threats must be understood in any ecosystem. Phytoplankton are inexpensive and readily available bio- indicators. In the present study, phytoplankton were used to study the Sefid ...

Identifying Chemical Groups for Biomonitoring

Introduction Environmental health researchers and government scientists in the United States typically encounter a paucity of information on both toxicity and exposure for most chemicals in commerce (Judson et al. 2009; Egeghy et al. 2012; Neltner et al. 2013; Silbergeld et al. 2015). Even if data are available, federal and state agencies have limited capacity for assessing health risks (GAO 20...

SLOPE PROFILE MORPHOMETRY AS AN INDICATOR FOR SLOPE MOVEMENT

Two dimensional slope profile morphometric investigation in a part of the land failure prone Garhwal region of the Lesser Himalaya, Tehri district, U. P., India, indicates that the landslip morphology is closely related to the dominant movement processes active in this terrain. Technique developed for the morphometric analysis of landslips involves the use of five morphometric indices. Each ind...
