Bogra city is highly susceptible to environmental pollution due to over population, rapid industrialization and urbanization during the last decades. A study was conducted to determine heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr, Cd and Ni) pollution level and physicochemical properties in the soils of Bogra city. The concentrations of heavy metals in 14 soil samples were determined by using an Atomic Absorpt...

the concentrations of potentially toxic elements (as, sb, and hg) and some trace elements in 36 topsoil samples and 18 agricultural soil samples were measured at the aq-darreh river watershed, nw iran. based on the results of the chemical analysis and comparing them with different standards, it seems that the soils of the aq-darreh river watershed are polluted with as and sb. this pollution res...

Water and sediment samples were collected from six different stations, located along the Nil River between February and June 2015. Concentrations of cadmium, lead, zinc, and copper were determined. The extent of the sediment pollution was assessed, using the multiple pollution indices, namely contamination factor (CF), pollution load index (PLI), and the geoaccumulation index (Igeo). The result...

Kadmium (Cd) merupakan logam berat berbahaya yang dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya pencemaran di perairan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kandungan Cd pada matriks air, sedimen, dan ikan nilem (O. hasselti) Sungai Tajum, Banyumas serta tingkat berdasarkan Single Pollution Index (Pi), Contamination Factor (CF), of Geoaccumulation (Igeo), Bioaccumulation (BAF), Estimated Daily Intake (ED...

Concentrations of seven heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) and one metalloid (As) as well as various parameters (pH, organic carbon, granulometric analysis and cation exchange capacity) were analyzed in 77 soil samples collected in the mining areas of La Zanja and Colquirrumi (Department of Cajamarca) and Julcani (Department of Huancavelica). Our study proposed geochemical baseline v...

Introduction: Uncontrolled and improper landfilling of solid waste increases the concentration of heavy metals in the soil. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate soil contamination with heavy metals in the landfill of municipal and hospital waste in Sabzevar city by compiling a map of the severity of heavy metal pollution in the soil. Materials and Methods: Concentrations of heavy metals ...

Human activities around or within national highways, combined with atmospheric mixing, produce road dust, which can cause health problems through a variety of exposure routes. Thus, the study was aimed to investigate contamination, spatial distribution, potential ecological and human risks various toxic heavy metals such as lead (Pb), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), nickel ...
