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...

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...

Accumulation of trace metals in sediment can cause severe ecological impacts. The present study determines the elemental concentrations and chemical partitioning of heavy metals in surface sediment of Shadegan wetland. Shadegan wetland is one of the most important wetlands in southwest of Iran and it is in Ramsar-listed wetlands. For this purpose, 7 sampling stations were selected for sediment ...

Soils are the basic and most important resources of any people. Differences in soil’s physical and chemical properties are related to the spatial distribution of land uses. Most of these human activities generate toxic substances that are transported considerable distances away from source and become accumulated in soils, sediment, water bodies and fisheries. Urban soils are largely affected by...

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...

This paper describes the concentration of selected heavy metals (Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in the Mamut river sediments and evaluate the degree of contamination of the river polluted by a disused copper mine. Based on the analytical results, copper showed the highest concentration in most of the river samples. A comparison with Interim Canadian Sediment Quality Guidelines (ICSQG) and Germany Sedi...

The Kolleru Lake is a famous Ramsar wetland of international significance. In this study heavy metal contents in water and sediment samples are reported. It is found that certain potentially toxic metal ions like chromium (4.5-80 µg/L), copper (1-20 µg/L), manganese (1-313 µg/L) and zinc (1.2-57 µg/L) are present in variable quantities in the lake water. When normalized with respect to concentr...
