The liquors were found to be adulterated with impure water from different sources. The measurement of pH, chloride concentration, total dissolved solid, total suspended solid and heavy metals reveals the adulteration in liquors. The duplicate brands contain rectified spirit, caramel, coloring agents, flavoring agents and essential oils which are not according to specifications. The adulterated ...

The dataset for this article contains geostatistical analysis of the level to which groundwater quality around a municipal waste dumpsite located in Oke-Afa, Oshodi/Isolo area of Lagos state, southwestern has been compromised for drinking. Groundwater samples were collected from eight hand-dug wells and two borehole wells around or near the dumpsite. The pH, turbidity, salinity, conductivity, t...

Heavy metals in textile wastewater represent a major environmental problem, and are a potential danger to human health when present on textiles. Furthermore, the presence of some metals influences the production of textiles. Heavy metals are often used as oxidizing agents, as metal complex dyes, dye stripping agents, fastness improvers, and finishers. Thus, they act as hazardous sources through...

This study examines the effectiveness of remediating a well-recognized case of heavy metal pollution at Foundry Cove (FC), Hudson River, New York. This tidal freshwater marsh was polluted with battery-factory wastes (1953-1979) and dredged in 1994-1995. Eight years after remediation, dissolved and particulate metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Pb, Ni, and Ag) were found to be lower than levels in the lower Hu...

Porous pavements with reservoir structure for infiltration of runoff from parking spaces and residential streets offer the opportunity to dispose water without using additional space in urban areas. However, pollutants in urban runoff endanger soils and groundwater, when pollutant retention in the structure is not sufficient. Porous pavement structures with four different subbase materials were...

A greenhouse experiment has been planned for this study to delineate the benefits of two types of rice husk biochars (namely B300 and B600 which are prepared at 300°C and 600°C, respectvely) and coal fly ash (CFA), as soil amendments, for decreasing the amount of some heavy metals (like Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr, and Cu) as well as mobility and phytoavailability in an artificially-calcareous multi-element...

Brassinosteroids play a significant role in the amelioration of various abiotic and biotic stresses. In order to elaborate their roles in plants subjected to heavy metals stress, Chlorella vulgaris cultures treated with 10(-8) M brassinolide (BL) were exposed to 10(-6)-10(-4) M heavy metals (cadmium, lead and copper) application. Under heavy metals stress, the growth and chemical composition (c...

Heavy metal stabilization in soil was investigated using sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Samples were collected from three agricultural soils near abandoned mines, and a nine-week batch experiment performed following the classification of as ① non-sterile with SO42- (SO4), ② sterile SRB (SRBo), ③ (SS). metals extracted 0.1 N HCl or Mehlich, efficiency evaluated by comparing results to control....

ría and coastal zone are, in particular, vulnerable to heavy metals pollution. concentrations of 10 metals in liver, muscle and kidney of the sole (solea vulgaris) from ría of vigo and its coastal zone (spain) were measured from april 2006 to february 2007 and the relationships between fish size age and metal concentrations in the tissues was investigated. concentrations of the heavy metals in...
