Spatial distribution and degree of heavy metal pollution in urban roadside dusts from Sanandaj, Iran
Industrial activities and high traffic density are the most important heavy metal pollution sources in urban areas. Roadside dust created by atmospheric deposition can be one of the best indicators for heavy metal contamination levels. The present study reports the spatial distribution patterns and degree of heavy metal pollution (Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, and As) in 50 roadside dust samples from urb...
متن کاملThe current status of heavy metal in lake sediments from China: Pollution and ecological risk assessment
Heavy metal contamination in lake sediments is a serious problem, particularly in developing countries such as China. To evaluate heavy metal pollution and risk of contamination in lake sediments on a national scale in China, we collated available data in the literature of the last 10 years on lake sediments polluted with heavy metals from 24 provinces in China. Based on these data, we used sed...
متن کاملEcosystem response to nutrient enrichment across an urban airshed in the Sonoran Desert.
Rates of nitrogen (N) deposition have increased in arid and semiarid ecosystems, but few studies have examined the impacts of long-term N enrichment on ecological processes in deserts. We conducted a multiyear, nutrient-addition study within 15 Sonoran Desert sites across the rapidly growing metropolitan area of Phoenix, Arizona (USA). We hypothesized that desert plants and soils would be sensi...
متن کاملIsotopic paleolimnology of Lake Kinneret
The carbonate, organic C, and N contents and their respective d13C were measured in four cores from Lake Kinneret, Israel. Using these data and the isotopic difference between coexisting carbonate and organic C, Dd13C, we attempted to reconstruct the lake’s productivity and regional climatic conditions during the late Holocene. The sedimentary record of the last 120 yr (for which climatological...
متن کاملHeavy metal pollution disturbs immune response in wild ant populations.
Concern about the effects of environmental contaminants on immune function in both humans and wildlife is growing and practically nothing is known about this impact on terrestrial invertebrates, even though they are known to easily accumulate pollutants. We studied the effect of industrial heavy metal contamination on immune defense of a free-living wood ant (Formica aquilonia). To find out whe...
