this study was conducted in assaluyeh region, southwest of iran to show utilization and efficiency of sequential extraction analysis in environmental impact studies using soil and related regolith materials as sample media. in order to investigate distribution of heavy metals, optimized bcr (community bureau of reference) sequential extraction analysis method was used. in this caseeight represe...

background: considering the toxic effects of heavy metals and microbial pathogens in industrial wastewaters, it is necessary to treat metal and microbial contaminated wastewater prior to disposal in the environment. the purpose of this study is to assess the removal of heavy metals pollution and microbial contamination from a mixture of municipal and industrial wastewater using membrane bioreac...

background: contamination of the environment due to heavy metals is a major concern to human life and the environment. this study was conducted to investigate and quantify the copper and zinc concentrations in industrial estates soil in arak, iran. methods: four industrial estates were considered for the experimental design, including arak 1, arak 2, arak 3, and ghotbe sanaati. for preliminary ...

This paper discusses the use of functional data analysis to determine the interactions between the chemical composition and grain size. The proposed method is compared for a case study with others that involve the determination of the coefficient of correlation between the concentration of each chemical element in a bulk sample and representative points in the granulometric curve. The results o...

the proteins in fish, as well as other aquatic animals has nowadays become an important and complete protein sources in many people’s diets around the world and as a results, there has been a growing interest to protect and ensure the health of this important food source. heavy metals due to their specific physical and chemical characteristics as well as their effects on various ecosystems are ...

Nearly all of India's regions' water sources endure an intolerable burden harmful pollution. Aquatic contamination is a result waste product discharge and anthropogenic runoff. The environment has turned into repository for chemical contaminants that seep estuaries other aquatic environments, immobilising the biota, including heavy metals. Heavy metals like chromium can be both helpful destruct...

Heavy metals are natural components of Earth’s crust. They cannot be degraded or destroyed. The impurification of water surfaces with heavy metals usually has disastrous effects on the environment. That’s why the determination of heavy metals concentrations at levels of ppm or ppb is strictly necessary. Industrial, economical and demographic development generates huge amounts of wastes which ha...
