Heavy metals are considered to be the most common environmental pollutants in waters and biota; that indicate presence of effluents associated with industrial domestic sources. The present study aimed evaluate trace metal accumulation (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cd, Pd Ni) tissue radiate top shell, sediment water samples collected from Hare Island, Tuticorin, during May 2015 April 2016. During study, Wate...

in this study, the ultrasonic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic degradation of organics in textile industrial effluent was studied using zno nano catalyst, zno nano catalyst was synthesized by using sol-gel method. the structure and morphology of the catalyst were investigated using scanning election microscopy (sem), electron dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (eds) and x-ray diffraction patte...

Municipal wastewaters are major sources of pollution for the aquatic biota. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of some pharmaceutical products and the immunotoxic potential of a municipal wastewater aeration lagoon for the treatment of the domestic wastewaters of a small town with wastewater inputs from a 400-bed hospital complex. Endemic mussels were collected, caged and pla...

Mangrove soils with high organic carbon (Corg) content are likely to contain Corg that is vulnerable remineralization during land use changes. conversion different uses might deplete soil stocks causing variable dioxide emissions, but the extent of these emissions and fraction (i.e., labile or stable/recalcitrant) mostly lost poorly understood. Here, we study mangrove degradability its suscepti...

The effects of simple mixtures of chemicals, with similar mechanisms of action, can be predicted using the concentration addition model (CA). The ability of this model to predict the estrogenic effects of more complex mixtures such as effluent discharges, however, has yet to be established. Effluents from 43 U.K. wastewater treatment works were analyzed for the presence of the principal estroge...

Microplastic pollution of freshwaters is known to be a great concern in China and these pollutants can discharged into the coastal environment through fluvial processes, posing threats global marine ecosystem. This paper reviewed literature measuring microplastic Chinese freshwater found that microfibres dominate other plastic morphologies more than 65% samples collected surface water, sediment...

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the water sources at points of collection for human supply, identifying conventional and emerging pollutants that could compromise public supply municipality Cuiabá-MT. Raw was analyzed three pumping sites, using secondary (2014 to 2019) primary (June November data. The parameters described in current regulations were used calculate Index Conformity with Guidelines...
