The aim of the research was to show changes taking place in soils as a result influence anthropogenic factors form intensive horticulture and pollution within city. It made on basis distribution individual fractions well available total Cu forms profiles garden located at houses family allotment gardens six cities south-eastern Poland. took into account granulometric composition according which...

Background & Aims of the Study: Regarding to development of industry, soil contamination has become a serious problem in many countries, such as Iran. The aim of the present work was the illustration of the accumulation of potentially harmful trace elements and the potential risk which is posed to human health in surface soils of three industrial estates of Aran-o-Bidgol city, Isfah...

Agriculture plays an important role in the sustainable development of country. Use chemical fertilizers escalate certain components excess quantity thereby deteriorate productivity and leads to unpredicted outcome. This study makes effort reckon accumulation some selected heavy metals [Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni) Cadmium(Cd)] related indices [bio concentration factor(BCF) translocation factor (TF)] ...

Four heavy metals were measured in forty-nine topsoil samples collected fromagricultural areas in Siakh-Darengoun, Iran. The goals were to investigate soil spatialdistribution patterns of metals; their potential ecological risk; and sources. The Hakansonpotential ecological risk index and index of geo-accumulation (Igeo) were used forevaluating t...

The present study was conducted in the SE area of phosphate plateaus (Khouribga) located central Morocco. It attempted to assess heavy metal (HM) (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn) contamination farmland soils and their potential ecological hazard non-non-carcinogenic risks using various pollution indices, magnetic susceptibility (MS), Geographical Information System (GIS) methods. A total 41 soil samples we...

eight selected heavy metals (cu, zn, pb, cd, cr, mn, fe and al) in surface and sub-surfacesediments in the northern coast of sfax (tunisia) were studied in order to assess the sediment quality and tohighlight the anthropogenic contributions to heavy metal distributions in the two study sediment levels.multiple chemometric approaches based on geographic information system (gis), enrichment facto...

In the recent years, agricultural soils have received more chemicals in various forms for higher yields. This may result in the accumulation of metals in soils which subsequently may be transferred into the agricultural crops. In the present investigation, nickel content of 58 composite soil samples and also agricultural crops, is studied. Ni in samples of soil and agricultural products were ex...

To better understand heavy metal pollution and the potential ecological risk of mangrove sediments in Nanliu River estuary, speciation distribution characteristics metals Fe, Mn, Zn, Co, Ni, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb 13 surface study area were determined analyzed using a modified four-step BCR extraction method, was assessed Geo-accumulation Index (Igeo), Potential Ecological Risk (RI), Assessment Code (R...

In order to investigate concentrations, variability, sources, and human health risk of trace elements, 38 atmospheric dust samples were collected around Arak industrial area. The average concentrations Cd~Zn, As, Pb 3.3, 2.5, 2.4 times higher than the corresponding geochemical background, respectively, while Co, Cu, Ni, Hg lower. Based on geo-accumulation index (Igeo), elements classified betwe...
