Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSpectrometric Methods Used to Determine Heavy Metals and Total Cyanides in Accidental Polluted SoilsA. Mihaly-Cozmuta, L. Mihal Cozmuta, V. Viman et al.The study presents the level of soil pollution in the area adjacent to three sedimentation ponds as a result of an environmental accident. Soil samples from various sites have been collected and analyzed to determine the concentration of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) and total cyanides. The analysis methods used were ICP-AES for heavy metals and the colorimetric for total … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,910 accessesView PDFCite

Metal concentrations in sediments reached 340 mg kg-1 for Cr, 310 mg kg-1 for Cu, 826 mg kg-1 for Zn, 63 mg kg-1 for as, 1.9 mg kg-1 for Cd, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 9 Nov 2024 · 6,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsQuantitative Analysis of the Pb Concentration in Dust Fall in Zahedan in the Winter of 2014Sara Abdollahi, Akram Karimi, Meysam Madadi et al.Dust is considered as one of the atmospheric phenomena that inappropriately influences the environment. Falling dust contains particles with the size of 100 microns or less, which falls from atmosphere on the surface of the earth. This study aimed at determining the Pb concentration in falling dust samples in order to investigate the urban pollution caused by this element. To … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 11 May 2018 · 7,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Heavy Metals on the Enzymatic Activity of Haplic Chernozem under Model Experimental ConditionsNatalia Gromakova, Saglara Mandzhieva, Tatiana Minkina et al.The biological activity of soils is an essential parameter of their ecological status. The anthropogenic Heavy Metals (HMs) disturb the normal functioning of soil biota and, hence, the entire soil system. The aim of this work was to estimate the toxicity of loosely bound HM compounds in Haplic Chernozem using parameters of cellulose-degrading and urease activities. Contamination of Haplic Chernozem … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2017 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUtilization of Sewage Sludge in Agricultural Soil as Fertilizer in the Republic of Benin (West Africa): What are the Risks of Heavy Metals Contamination and Spreading?Fidèle Suanon, Lyde A.S. Tomètin, Biaou Dimon et al.Biosolids are the treated organic residuals, also known as sewage sludge, which are generated from domestic wastewater treatment plants. It is an organic matter and nutrients [phosphorous (P) and nitrogen (N)]-rich material. Due to these properties, it is has been reported to be a suitable fertilizer or soil amendment which can valuably replace synthesized NPK. Unfortunately, this matter is heavily … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2016 · 14,496 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy of Heavy Metals in the Surface Sediments of the Main Wadis in the Region of Meknes-MoroccoA. Lammini, A. Dehbi, H. Omari, A. AbdallaouiBecause of their growing demographic and industrial expansion, the urban areas of the city of Meknes are likely to disturb the ecological balance of watercourse. In the present work, we had evaluate the degree of sediment’s contamination by heavy metals (Al, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn) in the main wadis of the Meknes region (Boufekrane, Wislane and Toulal) … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,109 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAccumulation of Heavy Metals in Tilapia Fish (Oreochromis niloticus) from Al-Khadoud Spring, Al-Hassa, Saudi ArabiaMohammed A. Al-KahtaniProblem statement: Al-Khadoud Spring is one of the largest spring in Al-Hassa governorate (Saudi Arabia). Due to the extended domestic activities and urbanization as well as the continuous industrial and agricultural growth of the region, spring water quality is potentially changing. Approach: This study was conducted to measure toxic heavy metal concentrations in water and fish samples along the spring … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 11,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMathematical Modelling of Pollutants’ Dispersion in Soil I. Case Study of Copper DispersionV. Viman, L. M. Cozmuta, A. M. Cozmuta et al.The study presents a mathematical modelling of copper dispersion in soil. The samples have been collected from the same points of the sampling network, from surface and depth in 2001 and only to surface in 2002 and analyzed using the ICP-AES method. The extrapolation of the experimental results led to the dispersion curves of the copper concentrations both at surface … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial-Dynamics of Trace Metals Accumulation and Physicochemical Characteristics in Ikpukulu-Ama Creeks, Rivers State, NigeriaDavies Ibienebo Chris, Khang Wen Goh, Davies Imachrist Ibienebo et al.The study examines the spatial-dynamics variability of water parameters and trace metal concentrations between January and June 2023 at the Ikpukulu-Ama sites of the Bonny River, Nigeria. Key parameters analyzed include temperature, salinity, pH, transparency, dissolved oxygen, and trace metals (Ni, Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn) across three sites. The highest temperature, 32.56°C, was recorded at Site 2, indicating potential thermal … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 29 Jul 2026 · 494 accessesView PDFCite
