Influence of the soil sealing on the geoaccumulation index of heavy metals and various pollution factors
Soil sealing belongs to the most destructive and damaging processes to the soil environment. Soil sealing interrupts or greatly restricts the exchange of matter and energy between the biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere and the soil environment. The aim of this study was to compare the content of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn) of Ekranic Technosols by applying indicators such ...
متن کاملEnvironmental assessment of Al-Hammar Marsh, Southern Iraq
AIM (a) To determine the spatial distributions and levels of major and minor elements, as well as heavy metals, in water, sediment, and biota (plant and fish) in Al-Hammar Marsh, southern Iraq, and ultimately to supply more comprehensive information for policy-makers to manage the contaminants input into the marsh so that their concentrations do not reach toxic levels. (b) to characterize the s...
متن کاملEvolution of Heavy Metals in Marsh Areas under Rice Farming
25 Total and EDTA-extractable concentrations of Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in rice-farming 26 soils and their distribution in the profile depth were evaluated. The temporal variability of 27 metal concentrations in the superficial horizon was studied during 1991-1995. Results show 28 that the highest metal concentrations correspond to Zn, Pb, and Cu, for total and EDTA29 extractable fraction. I...

متن کاملEcological quality assessment of Anzali wetland for heavy metals using heavy metals pollution index (HPI)
Background and Objective: Research has shown that assessing the toxicity and ecological risk of various types of pollutants, including heavy metals, using specific indicators, is indispensable in the ecological risk assessment of the ecosystem. Accordingly, the aim of this study was the assessment of the ecological effect of heavy metals presence (Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd and, As) in Anzali wetland using...
