Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effects of Landfill in Azad-Shahr City on the Physicochemical Properties of GroundwaterSara Abdollahi, Safieh Javadinejad, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Vijay P. SinghLocations near landfills have a lot of potential for contamination of groundwater, because there is a high potential for contamination with emulsion in these areas. In this study, the quality of physic chemical and carbon-organic materials (TOC) of water wells around landfill of Azad-Shahr city was investigated. To accomplish this purpose, sampling of water from seven deep wells around the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2019 · 7,931 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Bitumen Addition on Sabkha Soil Shear Strength Characteristics under Dry and Soaked ConditionsFahad A. Alotaibi, Humoud Melfi AldaihaniHigh salt content in sabkha soils means they are significantly affected by changes in water content. Dissolution of salts within sabkha soil mass decreases their shear strength upon inundation with water, resulting from the destruction of cementation bonds between soil particles. Therefore, successful improvement for these soils must be based on reducing the dissolution of sabkha salts to minimize their … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2018 · 7,392 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractionation of Organic Carbon in Arial Beel Wetland Soils of BangladeshMonera Akter Eva, Mahmudul Islam Piash, Md. Faruque Hossain, Zakia ParveenA study was conducted to determine the organic carbon fractions in the vertical sections of a benchmark wetland soil of Bangladesh (Arial Beel) and their dynamics that directly affect the biogeochemistry of soil, water and plant biomass ecosystem. Two distinctive soil series viz. Sara and Arial are characterized such as pH, moisture content, textural class, CEC, organic carbon (SOC), bulk … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 4 May 2018 · 9,139 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPb Removal from Contaminated Water Using EDTA with Colocasiaesculenta (L.) Schott at Klity Creek, Kanchanaburi, ThailandPantawat Sampanpanish, Yotsavanun HongpiriyakulThis study investigated lead (Pb) removal using a plant called‘Elephant Ear’ (Colocasiaesculenta (L.) Schott) from contaminated waterat Klity Creek, located in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. Plants weregrown in contaminated water with lead carbonate (Pb(CO3)2) in a nursery. The experiment was divided into 4 sets; (1) With Pb but without EDTA, (2) With Pb and EDTA 0.01 millimole (mM) per liter (mM … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 4 May 2018 · 8,167 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Ameliorative Efficiency of Phosphogypsum and Elemental Sulfur in Semi-Terrestrial Soda and Sulfate Moderately Halophytic Solonetz of the Light Gray Earth SubzoneKanaibek Kubenkulov, Nurzhamal Khokhanbaeva, Askhat NaushabayevThe article presents the data from field tests on determination of the relative ameliorative efficiency of equivalent dosages of phosphogypsum and elemental sulfur on the alkaline saline semi-terrestrialsolonetz. Basing on the analysis data of soil water extract, higher ameliorative efficiency of elemental sulfur compared to phosphogypsum and fast amelioration of alkali-saline soils with the use of sulfur have been detected. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 6 Feb 2018 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Occurrence of Entomopathogenic Fungi on Mineral and Peat Soils in Peninsular MalaysiaPong Kuan Kin, Wahizatul Afzan Azmi, Norman Kamarudin et al.The aims of this study are to isolate and identify Entomopathogenic Fungi (EPF) from mineral and peat soils in relation with the soil physico-chemical parameters. The mineral soil was sampled from the MPOB Research Station Hulu Paka in Terengganu, whereas peat soil was sampled from the MPOB Research Station Teluk Intan in Perak. Isolation of these fungi was carried out … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Jan 2017 · 8,206 accessesView PDFCite

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 · 8,353 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,527 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Benzo[a]Pyrene Contamination from an Long-Term Contaminated SoilSvetlana Sushkova, Tatiana Minkina, Abdulmalik Batukaev et al.Analysis of benzo[a]pyrene contamination from an aged contaminated chernozemic, meadow-chernozemic and alluvial soils under the effect of aerotechnogenic emissions from the Novocherkassk regional power plant have been revealed on the basis of annual monitoring studies from 2008 to 2012. A new ecologically clean highly-effective express-method of subcritical water extraction has been developed for determination of benzo[a]pyrene from soils of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2015 · 7,873 accessesView PDFCite
