We assessed the spatial and temporal variations of pollution indicators and geochemical and trace metal parameters (23 in total) from water and sediment (144 samples) of three different eco-niches (beach, fishing harbor, and estuary) in larger coastal cities of southern India (Cuddalore and Pondicherry) for one year. A total of 120 marine Pseudomonas isolates were challenged against different c...

Geo-sanitary conditions in public health are a determining factor in understanding that disease processes are highly dynamic and respond to the conditions of the environmental context. Beyond the biological, immunological and therapeutic scenario in the management of the parasitic diseases which affect the human, the epidemiological conditions that involve the life cycle of the parasite are det...

Agriculture plays an important role in the sustainable development of country. Use chemical fertilizers escalate certain components excess quantity thereby deteriorate productivity and leads to unpredicted outcome. This study makes effort reckon accumulation some selected heavy metals [Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni) Cadmium(Cd)] related indices [bio concentration factor(BCF) translocation factor (TF)] ...

Heavy metal contamination in aquaculture farm sediment may create a major risk to ecosystem and human health via the food web as result of poor handling, incorrect waste management, extensive use artificial feed increase yield make profit. In this study, heavy metals (e.g., Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni) were analyzed examine accumulation, sources, levels from bottom samples 12 different commercia...

Abstract The impact of anthropogenic activities such as mining, agriculture and urbanization is causing heavy metal contamination in many freshwater ecosystems. concentrations eight elements (As, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb Zn) the Spekboom River, South Africa, were studied using enrichment factor (EF) geo-accumulation index (I geo ) to assess extent pollution river. Sediment samples collected analy...

air pollution is today a major problem for modern societies. it has long been recognized as a potentially lethal form of pollution. increasing pollution levels due to rapid urbanization and growth in emission related to vehicular transportation are now caused major concern. the mobilization of heavy metals into the biosphere by human activities has become an important process in the geochemical...

In this study, the concentrations of heavy metals (Ca, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni) in thesediment of Shavoor River in Khuzestan Province in Iran has been investigated. After the library studies and field studies, six samples of water and sediment were taken from the river in order to evaluate heavy metal pollution in sediments. To determine the geochemical phases of metals in sediment samples the 5-ste...
