the influence of leachate from open solid waste dumping near salhad stream (abbottabad, pakistan) was investigated to quantify the variations of water quality during august 2007 to april 2008. samples were collected from five different sites located along the salhad stream. two sites were located before the mixing of solid waste leachate with the surface water. one sampling site was of leach...

introduction: one of the methods for disposal of sludge is its usage as fertilizer on agricultural. the purpose of this study was to analyze the possibility in the application of sludge to agricultural, according to environmental standards. methods: this descriptive-analytic study was conducted for 12 months on dried sludge wastewater treatment plant in yazd. monthly sampling and tests were per...

surface waters such as lakes and rivers which are multipurpose fields used for drinking water supply, agricultural irrigation, fisheries and energy production are being threatened by domestic, industrial and agricultural pollution caused by rapidly growing population. due to the insufficient numbers of studies on lake bafa, the largest coastal lake of turkey, this study was conducted to investi...

background: raw vegetables are particularly susceptible to microbial growth and, therefore, use of an effective sanitizer on these food items is of great importance. the objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the vegetable disinfection protocol set forth by iranian ministry of health in reducing populations of total coliform, fecal coliform, and parasites present on lettuce. me...

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...

A study was conducted to investigate the levels of plant nutrients, heavy metals, parasites and fecal coliform bacteria in Bangkok-produced sewage sludge and finished compost products for potential agricultural application, as well as to compare the quality of compost under different composting conditions. The results indicated that digested sewage sludge had high fertilizing values for organic...

background: the objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of sanitization of lettuce according to the protocols set forth by iranian ministry of health and medical education for reducing populations of total coliform, fecal coliform, and helminth eggs present on lettuce. methods: in the present study, we determined the load of total coliform, fecal coliform, and parasites of lettuce....

In this research, a lab scale wastewater treatment plant was locally designed as continuous culture of activated sludge and using dual water purification system titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs). Biosynthesis TiO2NPs characterization were done, then nanofilter prepared by tightly wrapping the filter with gauze moistened it 1% TiO2 NPs solution until saturation, control also prepared. Wast...

The study was conducted to determine the coliform content of shellfish Anadara antiquata from three selected areas of Davao Gulf. One shot sampling was employed in the study and it was conducted within the month of February, 2010. Test for coliform and fecal coliform was done using the multiple-tube fermentation technique through the presumptive, confirmed and fecal coliform test. Total Colony ...
