the quality of wastewater generated in any process industry is generally indicated by performance itrace metals in the aquatic environment have to date come essentially from naturally occurring geochemical resources. however, this has been enhanced by anthropogenic activities resulting in pollution. consequently, correlations and partitioning of trace metals in the dissolved phase, suspended pa...

Anthropogenic activities cause pollution of soil, groundwater, sediments, surface water, air with unsafe and noxious chemicals is one of the main crises facing the industrialized world today. Over the last century, public apprehension about environmental pollution has increased remarkably. Now a days, polluted soils and waters as a result of global industrialization pose a major environmental a...

Geochemical sediment of the tropical Pinang River, Malaysia was carried out with the aim at documenting elemental concentrations and pollution level assessment. Concentration of selected heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, Zn and Mn), rare earth elements, TOC and grain size distribution of sediments were determined at 100 m sampling interval along the river. Sediment size showed a positive correlatio...

UNLABELLED Past studies on the maximum phonation time (MPT) in children have shown different results in duration. This factor may reflect the neuromuscular and aerodynamic control of phonation in patients; such control might be used as an indicator of other evaluation methods on a qualitative and quantitative basis. AIM To verify measures of MPT and voice acoustic characteristics in 23 childr...

The deleterious effects of plastic debris on the marine environment were reviewed by bringing together most of the literature published so far on the topic. A large number of marine species is known to be harmed and/or killed by plastic debris, which could jeopardize their survival, especially since many are already endangered by other forms of anthropogenic activities. Marine animals are mostl...

The term "Anthropocene" was coined by Professor Paul Crutzen in 2000 to describe an unprecedented era in which anthropogenic activities are impacting planet Earth on a global scale. Greatly increased emissions into the atmosphere, reflecting the advent of the Industrial Revolution, have caused significant changes in both the lower and upper atmosphere. Atmospheric reactions of the anthropogenic...
