introduction landfilling sites of wastes including big volume of waste. in recent years lack correct management caused that landfilling sites of municipal waste taken as one of main source pollution effluence at environmental. from between diverse contaminants heavy metals because of environmental stability, biogeochemical process, poison biology, sorption and desorption, redox potential, sedim...

the karnafully is one of the most important rivers due to its profound influence on water chemistry and sediment characteristics. the present study intended to assess the quality of water and sediment from intertidal zone of this river in respect to the pollution index. seasonal water and sediment samples were collected during four seasons (monsoon, post-monsoon, winter, and pre-monsoon) of 201...

Soil and surface water contamination by used lubricating oil is a common occurrence in most developing countries. This has been shown to have harmful effects on the environment and human beings at large. Bioremediation can be an alternative green technology for remediation of such hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. Bioremediation of soil contaminated with 5% and 15% (w/w) used lubricating oil and a...

The large quantities of slurry and manure that are produced annually in many areas in which cattle are raised could be an important source of organic matter and nutrients for agriculture. However, the benefits of waste recycling may be partially offset by the risk of water pollution associated with runoff from the fields to which slurry or manure has been applied. In this paper, the effects of ...

GOAL, SCOPE AND BACKGROUND Heavy metal is among one of the pollutants, which cause severe threats to humans and the environment in China. The aim of the present review is to make information on the source of heavy metal pollution, distribution of heavy metals in the environment, and measures of pollution control accessible internationally, which are mostly published in Chinese. METHODS Inform...

Under rapid urban sprawl in Northeast China, land conversions are not only encroaching on the quantity of cultivated lands, but also posing a great threat to black soil conservation and food security. This study's aim is to explore the spatial relationship between comprehensive cultivated soil heavy metal pollution and peri-urban land use patterns in the black soil region. We applied spatial la...

Various natural (high arsenic bearing strata and pyrite oxidation) and anthropogenic (agricultural, coal mining, metal smelting, and refining industry) sources are involved in arsenic pollution of water. Water, soil, and biological samples (vegetables, fish, and meat) were collected from potentially arsenic affected area Hizla, Bangladesh and analyzed to find the source of arsenic contamination...
