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 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 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,930 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency of EDTA and TWEEN 80 for the Removal of Chromium using Soil Washing TechnologiesPantawat Sampanpanish, Nawaporn ThetthotsapornThe study on the efficiency of chelate and surfactant for the removal of chromium using soil washing technology of which the chelate is EDTA and surfactant is TWEEN 80 at concentrations of 8, 16 and 32 millimoles was separately conducted. The experiment soil was synthetic soil with chromium contamination for 2 years. In this study, 20 g of contaminated soil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2018 · 8,331 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Gene Transcription in Red Oak (Quercus rubra) Genotypes Resistant to Copper ToxicityProulx Migueal, Paul Michael, Charnelle Djeukam, Kabwe NkongoloToxicity of metals is a major abiotic stressor of plants. Copper (Cu) is one of the most abundant metals in soils from the Greater Sudbury Region (GSR) due to its mining history. Recent studies have described several transporters and chelating proteins involved in copper resistance. Quercus rubra (Red Oak) is a common species that grows in metal contaminated soils in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2017 · 8,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution in Soil using pH Enrichment Factor and Pollution IndexMichael Nwachukwu, Okoro Uwaezu, Ogbuja I. Ogbuja, Leonard NwosuMany researchers have described pH as heavy metals pollution indicator in soil, but no effort has been made to determine level or quantity of heavy metals that could be indicated by pH. This study measured in-situ soil pH values at Nekede motor mechanic village against the natural background values. We used readings obtained to compute pH enrichment factor (pHeF) at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytomanagement of Heavy Metal Lead by Fodder Grass Lasiurus scindicus in Polluted Soil and Water of Dravyawati RiverParul Sharma, Sonali PandeySoil and water pollution with heavy metals is a worldwide issue and is still unresolved. Phytoremediation is a new and rising technology that applies plants for cleanup lightly contaminated soils and water. Lasiurus scindicus have been chosen in this work for decontaminating soil and water from heavy metal (lead). This plant was grown in contaminated soil and water over a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,725 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Permeable Reactive Barriers to Remediate Heavy Metal-Contaminated Groundwater through a Laboratory Column ExperimentSomean Yin, Gemunu Herath, Sokchhay Heng, Senajith KalpageRecently, groundwater sources are being polluted by various activities such as agriculture, livestock, decentralized wastewater treatment systems and acid rain. Groundwater can also be polluted by landfill leachate, sewage, mine tailings, non-engineered deep well disposal of liquid waste and seepage from industrial waste lagoons. There are many studies reported contaminated groundwater remediation using Permeable Reactive Barrier systems (PRBs) and many … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Mar 2017 · 8,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation Model for Feasibility Studies on Bioremediation of Uranium Mill Tailings using Hyper Accumulator Chrysopogon zizanioidesH. Shanmugasundaram, Sathesh Kumar Annamalai, Kantha Deivi Arunachalam et al.Contamination of environment by uranium is expected in places where mining of uranium ore and processing, nuclear testing and reactor operations when the control measures are not effective. The daughter radionuclides of the ores, chemical additives and residual uranium are the maincomponents of processed waste from uranium industries. The bioremediation of contaminated areas using plant species or group of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 11 Dec 2016 · 8,872 accessesView PDFCite
