The contamination characteristics and health risk of barium (Ba), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), vanadium (V), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd) in samples of dust gathered from squares and parks of Baotou city, an industrial city situated in a semi-arid location of the northwest China were investigated. The contents of Ba,...

The objective of this study was to investigate the concentration and spatial distribution patterns of six potentially toxic heavy metal elements (Mn, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cu and Ni) in bus station dusts in the Xifeng district of Gansu province, NW China. The contents were analyzed for Mn, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cu and Ni by using S8 TIGER Brochures wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Geoaccumula...

increasing in concentration of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, nickel, chromium and zinc cause considerable harmful effects on soil and environment. these elements are also hazardous to health of humans and wildlife. petrochemical plants and refineries pollution increase the amount of carcinogenic and tratogenic compounds in environment. the main goal of recent paper is the studying of soil...

Risk of metals in urban soils is less studied, compared to that in other types of soils, hindering accurate assessment of human exposure to metals. In this study, the concentrations of five metals (As, Cd, Cr, Pb, and Hg) were analyzed in 167 surface soil samples collected from Suzhou city and their potential ecological and human health risks were assessed. The mean concentrations of As, Cd, Pb...

The Al-Salam Lagoon is one of the recreational sites along Jeddah coast, showing environmental impacts urbanization coast. A sediment core (220 cm) was collected from intertidal zone to evaluate heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb) geochemical indices (contamination factor, geo-accumulation index, pollution load index). In organ-ic-rich muddy sediments (0–100 cm), there a high content ...

The main objective of the present study is to assess level contamination, source identification, and health risk assessment heavy metals in industrial soils Aurangabad. A total 15 Soil samples were collected with a sampling density 3–5 composite soil from 0–10 cm surface soil, analyzed (Ni, Pb, Cd, Zn, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu) using atomic absorption spectroscopy. geographical information system (GIS) t...

This study evaluated the concentration of toxic elements in soil samples from agricultural fields districts Sachaca, Socabaya, Hunter, Quequeña, Yarabamba, Characato and Tiabaya city Arequipa, Peru. The ecological risk, enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo) integrated risk (RI) were estimated, while health was determined with hazard coefficient (HQ) (HI) values. Seven collected ...

This research (1) analyzed the content of Pb and Cd in water sediment; (2) physical chemical parameters water; (3) determined enrichment factor accumulation index sediments; (4) to identified quality based on Pollution Index (IP) STORET. The analysis was carried out using PCA (Principal Component Analysis) Pearson's correlation, conducted downstream section Musi River, Palembang, a random sampl...
