oil and pollutants resulting from its extraction and exploitation are considered as one of the serious problems for human health. vast oil fields of ahvaz city located in southern iran are known as one of controversial subjects in contamination with heavy metals. in this study, oil fields' soils of ahvaz city (ab-teymour) were chemically analyzed in order to determine the concentration of eight...

the concentration of selected trace metals (fe, cd, cu, pb, and zn) in 30surface sediments were measured using atomic absorption spectrometer to investigatethe spatial and seasonal variations of trace metals along kanyakumari coast, india. toassess the environmental risk of trace metals, enrichment factor, geo-accumulation index,pollution load index, and ecological risk index have been calculat...

The Subarnarekha River is one of the most important east flowing rivers of India. The river in West Bengal and Odisha is site for the Subarnarekha Barrage Project and Kirtania port respectively. The major objectives of the present study were to investigate the pre-projects level of heavy metals in water and sediments of the Subarnarekha River along the projects’ sites. Water and Surface sedimen...

The objectives of this study are to use different types of indexes to assess the current pollution status in Mengkabong lagoon and select the best index to describe the Mengkabong sediment quality. The indexes used in this study were Enrichment Factor (EF), Geo-accumulation Index (Igeo), Pollution Load Index (PLI) and Marine Sediment Pollution Index (MSPI). Different indexes give diverse status...

Visakhapatnam harbor is one of the Indian leading port for which substantial industrial expansion is proposed over the next decade. However, there has been little attempt to date to assess the extent of contamination in sediment and to characterize the potential impacts of contaminants on marine sediment. In this research work author was observed different sediment qualities in different season...
