Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEucalyptus Gomphocephala: Morphological Characterization and Seed Germination under Influence of Contaminated SoilOuled Seghaier Wided, Abbes Chaabane, Hasnaoui BrahimTo study the impact of soil pollution on plant growth, our work focused on soil polluted by heavy metals. This soil was taken from the municipal landfill of Jendouba (North of Tunisia). We have undertaken to study the morphological behavior of a forest specie “Eucalyptus gomphocephala”. Two treatments are chosen (substrate containing 100% and 50% of soil taken from municipal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation of Biodiversity of Algal Genera with Special Reference to the Waste Water Effluents from IndustriesRitu Singh Rajput, Sonali Pandey, Seema BhadauriaPollution is the introduction of contaminants, which cause adverse change, into the natural environment and mainly from external inputs like sewage, waste from industries, oil spills and agricultural use of pesticides. Anthropogenic activity-reflected in the use of toxic metals and organic pollutants-has increased levels of soil contamination and damage to aquatic systems. Ecosystems maintain water quality and withstand pressure from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2016 · 8,615 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Status of Pollutants in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, China and its Ecological Health AssessmentChun-Jiao Lu, Dan Luo, Muhammad Junaid et al.The Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) stretches along the Yangtze River from Jiangjin District, Chongqing to Yichang, Hubei in China. Since TGRA is the main source of drinking water and fresh fishery in China for millions of people, both researchers and the government have concerns for environmental pollution and ecological security in the TGRA. This review highlighted the status and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 28 Sep 2016 · 7,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Content of Heavy Metal in the Labu Riverbed Sediments: An Assessment of the Level of Pollution Applying Sediment Quality Guidelines and Geoaccumulation IndexAhmad Shoaib Jahesh, Sahibin Abd Rahim, Wan Mohd Razli IdrisRiver bed sediments from thirteen (13) sampling stations, from Labu River were collected in June and December 2014. The aim is to identify the source and ascertain the current levels of heavy metal pollutions. The selected heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Zn, As, Cd and Pb) were analysed by using Inductively Couple Plasma Mass Spectrophotometry (ICPMS). Metals were statistically … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 10 Aug 2016 · 7,405 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatus of Heavy Metals in Water and Sediment of the Meghna River, BangladeshMahmud Hassan, Mirza A.T.M. Tanvir Rahman, Badhan Saha, Abdul Kadir Ibne KamalThe pollution of river water and sediments by heavy metals has assumed serious problems due to their toxicity and accumulative behavior. The present study has been undertaken to assess the levels of heavy metals and the extent of pollution in the surface water and sediments from the Meghna river. Water and sediment samples were collected by the Standard Methods and, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 24 Nov 2015 · 12,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBONE MEAL AS ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT FOR ACIDIC AND METAL CONTAMINATED ACID MINE DRAINAGE WATER EFFLUENT: LAB SCALECarolyn Payus, Olga David, Moh Pak YanThe typical methods of treatment for acidic and metal contaminated water effluent such as the Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) will always focus on either civil engineering methods, such as disposal, excavation, drainage and encapsulation or process based technologies such as effluent washing and treatment. These techniques are not environmental friendly, costly and unsustainable, thus environmental damaging. Nowadays, there is a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2014 · 7,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Melaleuca cajuputi as Heavy Metals Phytoremediator for Sewage Sludge Contaminated SoilShibli Nik Mohd, Nik Muhamad Majid, Noor Azhar Mohamed Shazili, Arifin AbduIn 2011, total marine capture landings in Peninsular Malaysia decreased by 3.9% which amounted to 1,373,105 tonnes as compared to 1,428,881 tonnes in 2010. The decline is connected to marine pollution which mainly comes from land based sources. Coastal forests play an important role affecting the marine ecosystem health and need to be conserved as a buffer to minimize pollution … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination and Source Apportionment of Selected Heavy Metals in Aerosol Samples Collected from SebeleAlfred Sello Likuku, Gilbert Kabelo Gaboutloeloe, Khumoetsile B. MmolawaBush fires and dust in the dry winter months establish moderately high background levels of aerosols. Emissions into the atmosphere by copper mines, coal mines and vehicular emissions are all possible sources of air pollution with heavy metals. Although there has been assessment and monitoring of heavy metals and their air pollution in other countries such as Brazil, Europe and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 25 Apr 2013 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
