Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAir Quality Measurement at the Solid Waste Disposal of Matuail Landfill Site at Dhaka, BangladeshMd. Faruque Hossain, ASM Maksud Kamal, Abdul Halim Farhad Sikder, Zakia ParveenAn investigation was conducted to assess the air quality impact and possible health risk of solid waste disposal on surrounding environment of Matuail landfill site in Dhaka city. Three different locations were selected for soil and plant samples. Leachate samples were collected from active dumping area and fish samples from treated leachate pond. Seven different locations were selected for air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2019 · 8,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolid Waste Disposal and its Impact on Surrounding Environment of Matuail landfill Site, Dhaka, BangladeshMd. Faruque Hossain, Esrat Jahan, Zakia Parveen et al.An investigation was conducted to assess the impact of solid waste disposal on surrounding environment of Matuail landfill site of Dhaka city. Three different locations such as current dumping, abandoned and its surrounded agricultural areas of Matuail landfill were selected for soil and plant samples, leachate from active dumping and fish samples from treated leachate pond. The Cu, Zn and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 16 Nov 2018 · 12,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobility of Heavy Metals in Plants and Soil: A Case Study From A Mining Region in CanadaM. Mehes-Smith, K. K. Nkongolo, R. Narendrula, E. CholewaUnderstanding the dynamic of metals in soil and plantsis essential for ecosystem management and risks assessment of environmental pollution and sustainability.The main objective of the present study is to determine the mobility of Ni, Cu, Fe, Mg and Zn in soil and their translocation in D. cespitosa plants in a mining region in Northern Ontario.The total amount of Cu, Ni, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 15 Jan 2014 · 8,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistorical Changes in Polychlorinated Biphenyls Contaminated SedimentsViet D. Dang, David M. Walters, Cindy M. LeeProblem statement: PCBs contamination continues to pose a health risk to aquatic environments due to their recalcitrance and bioaccumulation. The Sangamo Weston/Twelvemile Creek/Lake Hartwell Superfund Site is an example of such a health risk as a result of PCBs discharged from a former capacitor manufacturing plant. We conducted a study in twelvemile creek (Clemson, SC, USA) to examine the temporal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2012 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuitability of Using Phragmites australis and Tamarix aphylla as Vegetation Filters in Industrial AreasWafa’a A. Al-TaisanProblem Statement: Many soils of different areas of the world are subjected to heavy metal pollution due to human activities especially the industry. These metals are hazardous to human health and could affect ecosystems. Toxic metal pollution in water and soil is a major environmental problem and most conventional remediation approaches do not provide acceptable solution, hence the studies of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Metals (Pb and Cu) Contamination in Bottom Sediment from South China Sea Coastal Waters, MalaysiaM. C. Ong, B. Y. KamaruzzamanProblem statement: The accumulation of metal contaminants in sediments can pose serious environmental problems to the surrounding areas. Trace metal contamination in sediment could affect the water quality and the bio-assimilation and bioaccumulation of metals in aquatic organisms, resulting in potential long-term implications on human health and ecosystem. Approach: About 154 bottom sediment samples were collected using Smith McIntyre in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Metabolism Studies of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers Using Rat and Human Liver MicrosomesShun Wen Cheng, Kathleen Randall, Anne T. KotchevarA number of studies have recently reported the bioaccumulation of the commonly used fire retardants, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), in humans and wildlife. Exposure of animals to PBDEs has been shown to result in developmental neurological, reproductive abnormalities and the disruption of endocrine function. Thyroid hormone equilibria was also shown to be altered by PBDE exposure. There is evidence that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Humic Preparations on the Content of Trace Elements in Hens' EggsZbigniew Dobrzanski, Henryk Gorecki, Katarzyna Chojnacka et al.Mineral-humic preparations Humokarbowit (HKW) and Humobentofet (HBF) were used in feeding of reproductive laying hens Lohmann Brown. The effect of these preparations on microelement composition of eggs was investigated. The content of microelements in hens diet, egg albumen and eggshell was determined by ICP-MS technique and relative bioaccumulation coefficient (RBC) was evaluated. The humic preparations significantly increased selenium and decreased … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,952 accessesView PDFCite
