Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHeavy Metal Contamination of Soils and Water Resources Kettara Abandoned MineManuel Valiente, Gustavo Perez, Marta Avila et al.Problem statement: Metal mining; together with mineral smelting and processing, have contaminated the environment surrounding mine areas throughout the world exceeding natural background concentration. Approach: These processes introduce metal contaminants into the environment through gaseous and particulate emissions, waste liquids and solid wastes. The principal objective of this study was to investigate soil and water contamination in the vicinity of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 8 May 2012 · 8,831 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSpatial Distribution and Evaluation of Heavy Metal Pollution in Soil Based on Three-Dimensional Model and Kriging InterpolationBaoshun Liu, Yonghong Zhang, Jun Yao, Jian SuSoil heavy metal pollution is an important content for soil environmental governance. Based on the three-Dimensional (3D) geological modeling technology and ordinary Kriging method, this study described and analyzed the soil pollution status and spatial distribution characteristics of a site in Zhongshan, Guangxi. The results showed that combining 3D geological model and the Kriging interpolation method can well evaluate soil … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 10 Jun 2022 · 6,144 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCurrent State of Haplic Chernozems in Specially Protected Natural Areas of the Steppe ZoneSaglara S. Mandzhieva, Lyudmila Yu. Goncharova, Abdulmalik A. Batukaev et al.The current ecological state of Haplic Chernozems has been studied in three Specially Protected Natural Areas (SPNAs) of the Steppe zone in South of Russia. It has been found that the content of organic matter, texture and elements content of soils depend on the period and conditions of reservation in the SPNA. In accordance with the content and reserve of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2017 · 7,352 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 abstractMechanism of Garden Aquatic Plants in the Remediation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated SoilChen Chen, Guangwu LiuHeavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury are resistant to microbial degradation in soil and persist for extended periods. They can bioaccumulate through the food chain, ultimately impacting human health. This study demonstrates that a combined restoration approach involving soil enhancement and garden aquatic plants, specifically through the application of ferrous sulfate, results in increased dry weight and plant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 20 Apr 2026 · 1,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Heavy Metals in Gadus morhua and the Associated Cancer RisksKayode Idowu Ogungbemi, Margaret Bose Adedokun, Josephine Nneamaka Onyeka-UbakaGadus morhua is a good protein source but some methods of its preservation can be a source of heavy metals contamination. Gadus morhua samples were collected from nine major markets for the identification and quantification of heavy metals. An Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) from an analytical and consultancy laboratory in the Department of Soil Resources Management, University of Ibadan was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2025 · 5,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological and Structural Reaction of Avena sativa Seedlings to the Effects of Nano and Microparticles of ZincArailym Serikbai, Aidar Aitkulov, Anna Stanco et al.Kazakhstan has a well-developed mining and metallurgical industry, which produces macroand nanoparticles of heavy metals, including zinc emitted to the environment. The nanoscale particles have a different biological activity, which requires some additional research. The effects of various concentrations of zinc macroparticles and nanoparticles on the anatomical structure of oat seedlings (Avena sativa L.) and their accumulation in vegetative organs … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 9 Jul 2024 · 4,406 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Synopsis of Environmental Heavy Metal PollutionAnyiam N. Donald, Pene B. Raphael et al.Heavy metal pollution continues to be a serious problem in the environment due to uncontrolled pesticide use, mining, foundry operations, smelting, fossil fuel burning and sewage sludge dumping. Mercury, lead, chromium, cadmium, copper and other heavy metals are non-biodegradable and remain in the environment in regions where human activity is prevalent. Heavy metal contamination is a serious hazard to all … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 5 · 7 Dec 2022 · 8,323 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Heavy Metals Enrichment and Sources in Different Functional Areas of Sixian CityHaimin Su, Dongsheng Xu, Gao Yang, Peng SunTo investigate soil heavy metal pollution in different functional areas of Sixian City, 48 soil samples were collected in residential, industrial, green, and commercial areas. The concentrations of V, Cr, Zn, Cu, Pb, and as were determined by the geoaccumulation index method and the enrichment factor method, and their pollution levels were evaluated. At the same time, the possible sources … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2022 · 5,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPollution Risk Analysis of Heavy Metals at Illegal Mining Sites at Atiwa East District, GhanaSamuel Wiafe, Sarah Fanny Hackman Duncan, Boakye Ebenezer, Samuel Yeboah BaakoThis study aims at determining the level of pollution of heavy metals (Cr, Cu and Hg) in the soils of illegal mining sites in Atiwa East District of Ghana.
