an indexapproach tometallic pollution in riverwaters

چکیده
twenty water samples from a river system in southern caspian sea basin werecollected and analyzed for physicochemical parameters and metals (cu, zn, as, cd, pb, ni andmn). in order to evaluate the risk potential of metal pollution in river water, use of two indicesnamely heavy metal pollution index (hpi) and contamination index (cd) accompanied by clusteranalysis was taken in to consideration. stations located within the upstream of the river (1 to 13)seemed to encounter low risk potentials while the downstream stations (14 to 20) approved tohold higher risks.the results also showed relativelymeaningful correlation among different metalswhich may be attributed to their same entry source, mainlymining and quarrying activities in thecentral parts of the basin following bymunicipal and industrial wastewater discharge to the riverin downstream. the convergence of both indices in this study was also of interest. although themean values of both indices were below the critical values, severe precautions must be taken intoconsideration especially in the stations holding high risk potentials. extreme use of river waterfor drinking, agriculture and industrial purposes within the water basin, relatively biota-richcharacteristic of the river and caspian sea as the final sink of the river are among the most significantreasons that make the river monitoring implementation inevitable.

Risky Pollution Index: An Integrated Approach Towards Determination of Metallic Pollution Risk in Sediments
In contrast with Mobility Factor (MF) and Risk Assessment Code (RAC) indices, IR attributes a risk share to metal species bound to reducible and oxidizable phases which are totally neglected in both of the two above-mentioned indices. In other words, besides the absolutely mobile fractions, the potentially mobile ones are also regarded in risk evaluation process elaborated by IR. The different ...

Energy carriers are addressed today as one of the main pillars of energy generation due to the increased growth of industries in developed and developing countries. According to the global view, increased consumption of energy carriers is causing an increase in the production of greenhouse gases, the global average temperature, and this, in turn, results in the quicker melting of ice in Antarct...

Environmental pollution consists of different types of pollutants in air, soil, and water. Due to the fact that plants can respond to environmental pollution, they can be used as bio-indicators for environmental monitoring. Air pollution in areas with oil and gas refineries nearby is an important problem. This study aims to survey the effects of gas refinery air pollutants on Conocarpus erectus...
