Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstablishment and Evaluation of the Vegetative Community in A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC.C. Galbrand, A.M. Snow, A.E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA surface flow constructed wetland, designed to curve in a kidney shape in order to increase the length to width ratio to 5:1 was used to treat runoff from an industrial park. A natural wetland system located approximately 200 m downstream of the constructed wetland was selected to act as the vegetative community model for the constructed wetland. The selected … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of The Biological Integrity of The Native Vegetative Community In A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC. C. Galbrand, A. M. Snow, Abdel E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA study was conducted to evaluate the biological integrity of a constructed wetland receiving landfill leachate and stormwater runoff from the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The biological integrity of the constructed wetland was tested in the second growing season using vegetative community monitoring. The metrics analyzed were species diversity, species heterogeneity (dominance) and exotic/invasive species abundance. There was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsControl of Contamination of Tissue Plant Cultures During in Vitro Clonal MicropropagationIrina Anikina, Nursultan Kaynidenov, Dora Dayu Rahma Turista et al.Plant micropropagation is currently an important method for modern large-scale propagation of valuable plant crops. Among the risks limiting the success of this method is the contamination of cultured plants. Conventional surface sterilization methods are not always effective against internal infection of plant tissues, and secondary contamination of tissue cultures during replication is also a major problem. This causes scientific … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2025 · 8,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimation of Pathogenic Microorganisms during Atmospheric Tempestat North AfricaU. Ali RahomaProblem statement: Dust continued to blow across northern Africa and the Mediterranean Sea on March 3, 2005. Many sources are associated with areas where human impacts are well documented. Approach: Nonetheless, the largest and most active sources are located in truly remote areas where there is little or no human activity. Dust activity is extremely sensitive to many environmental parameters. … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2011 · 7,401 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHeavy Metals Pollution of Owerri and Asuokofi Rivers in Konongo, GhanaWiafe Samuel, Buamah Richard, Essandoh HelenThe effects of polluted water and soil resulting from anthropogenic activities have impacted negatively on the livelihood of both human and animal existence. A thorough study was therefore required to ascertain the extent of pollution caused by the undertakings of these anthropogenic activities particularly within the Asante Akim Central Municipality of Ghana. This study assesses the dispersions and the extent … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 14 Jun 2021 · 6,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOpen ended-coaxial Cable Measurements of Saturated Sandy SoilsAlberto GodioThe application of electromagnetic methods in the radar and micro-wave frequency band allows the fluid content of soils to be estimated; the heuristic or physically-based models permit to relate the observed electrical permittivity of the soils with the porosity and fluid saturation. The role of the effect of the free water and bound water in the overall electromagnetic behaviour of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimating Soil Contamination with Kriging Interpolation MethodFatima Zohra Benmostefa LarguecheThe main objective of this study was to investigate whether Kriging is a useful tool to estimate the spatial distribution of ground pollutants in contaminated land. The second objective of this work was a more practical one. It consists on the identification of areas that should be subjected to remedial actions and also on deciding which contaminant needs to be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 8,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Monitoring of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Analytical Chemistry and Biological Assessment ApproachesChangjin Li, Jing Huo, Zijun Dou et al.Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) in aquatic environments pose significant threats to ecosystems and human health. These compounds interfere with hormonal regulation at low concentrations and have non-monotonic dose-response relationships, posing challenges to conventional risk assessment. This review systematically compares current EDC monitoring methods, including instrumental chemical analysis and receptor-based biological detection systems, to evaluate sensitivity thresholds, sample throughput, and mechanistic selectivity … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 3 Jul 2026 · 1,081 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Contamination in Livestock Production: Impacts, Causes, and Mitigation StrategiesMarothi Vincent Sebela, Khetho Ratshilumela NemutandaniWater contamination poses a significant threat to sustainable livestock production, directly affecting animal health, productivity, and product safety. This systematic review synthesizes existing literature on the impacts, causes, and mitigation strategies of water contamination in livestock production systems. A systematic literature search was conducted across Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases using key terms including "water contamination," "livestock," and "water … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 17 Feb 2026 · 1,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotentiometric Biosensor for Highly Toxic Pb (lead) and Cd (cadmium) Detection in Milk Using Layer-by-Layer ImmobilizationZhainagul Kakimova, Klara Zharykbasova, Aitbek Kakimov et al.Milk contamination with heavy metals such as lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) poses a serious threat to public health, particularly in industrial regions. To address the need for rapid and on-site detection of these contaminants, a potentiometric biosensor was developed for the quantification of Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ ions in milk and dairy products. The biosensor functions by measuring the change … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2026 · 1,480 accessesView PDFCite
