Revisiting the homogenization of dammed rivers in the southeastern US
For some time, ecologists have attempted to make generalizations concerning how disturbances influence natural ecosystems, especially river systems. The existing literature suggests that dams homogenize the hydrologic variability of rivers. However, this might insinuate that dams affect river systems similarly despite a large gradient in natural hydrologic character. In order to evaluate patter...
متن کاملPersistent pollutants urban rivers sediment survey: implications for pollution control.
The impacts of diffuse urban sources of pollution on watercourses are quantified. A survey of nine urban streams in Scotland for persistent pollutants in stream sediments is described, together with sediments from SUDS ponds. Determinands reported are: PAHs, total hydrocarbons, and toxic metals (As, Zn, Ni, Pb, Cu, Cr, Cd). Results highlight hydrocarbons as a major urban pollutant, and show sig...
متن کاملGovernment Spending and Air Pollution in the US
This study examines the effect of the composition of federal and state government spending on various important air pollutants in the US using a newly assembled data set of government expenditures. The results indicate that a reallocation of spending from private goods (RME) to social and public goods (PME) by state and local governments reduces air pollution concentrations while the compositio...
متن کاملPhysico-chemical characteristics and pollution levels of heavy metals in the rivers in Thohoyandou, South Africa
In this study, trace metal analysis of the surface waters from river Dzindi, Madanzhe and Mvudi in Thohoyandou, South Africa, were conducted with a view to obtain a baseline data of their levels. The physico-chemical forms of the metals as a means of assessing their availability and non-availability for toxicity to aquatic organisms was also investigated. Surface water samples were collected ra...
متن کاملTechnology, International Trade, and Pollution from US Manufacturing
Pollution emitted by US manufacturers has been declining steadily over the past several decades, while at the same time, the real value of manufacturing output has been increasing. This cleanup has two sources: advances in production or abatement processes (“technology”), and changes in the composition of goods manufactured in the United States. The composition changes can be divided further in...
