Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContributions To The Study Of Heavy Metals Concentration Variation In Sedimentable Dusts According To The Distance From The Pollution SourceMariana DOBRA, Vasile VIMAN, Gheorghe VÂTCĂThe environment in areas where geological and mining activities, such as the extraction of ores containing heavy metals, take place, is heavily polluted with dusts resulting from these activities, as well as with residual waters from the mines. Depending on the meteorological conditions, as well as on the conditions under which sedimentable dusts or dusts in suspension are emitted into … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,968 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordContrasting Effects of Metal Contaminations and Soil Liming on Cations Exchange Capacity and Global DNA Methylation in Betula papyrifera Populations from a Mining RegionGabriel Theriault, Kabwe NkongoloThe Greater Sudbury Region in Northern Ontario (Canada) has been one of the most contaminated regions in the world. Soil liming with dolomitic limestone applications has decreased significantly the level of soil acidity resulting in forest regeneration. This reclamation process does not affect the level of soil metal contamination but results in metals availability decrement. The coping mechanisms of birch … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2016 · 7,535 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordComparison of Stochastic and Deterministic Methods for Mapping Environmental Noise from Opencast QuarriesDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariAn accurate mapping of the acoustic spatial variability generated by quarrying plants constitutes an important step in the assessment of the environmental compatibility of the extraction site with the surrounding area. This paper refers to the results of a study comparing performances obtained by stochastic and deterministic methods to determine the acoustic climate of the areas surrounding opencast quarries. To … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2016 · 7,394 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHEAVY METAL ANALYSIS IN RED OAK (QUERCUS RUBRA) POPULATIONS FROM A MINING REGION IN NORTHERN ONTARIO (CANADA): EFFECT OF SOIL LIMING AND ANALYSIS OF GENETIC VARIATIONAnh Tran, K. K. Nkongolo, M. Mehes-Smith et al.Understanding the dynamic of metals in soil and plants and population diversity in Northern Ontario is essential in determining progress toward ecosystem sustainability in reclaimed sites. The objectives of the present study were to assess the levels of metal content in soils and their accumulation in red oak plants from limed and unlimed sites. Genetic variation in red oak populations … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,732 accessesView PDF Cite
