Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA 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 accessEvery word in the titleWork-Family Enrichment: Its Mediating Role in the Relationships Between Workplace Support Factors and Teachers' Job SatisfactionNg Swee Fung, Aminah Ahmad, Zoharah OmarThe role of work-family enrichment in the relationships between workplace support factors and employee attitudes at work has not been given much attention. This paper aims to examine whether work-family enrichment mediates the relationships between workplace social support, namely supervisor support and co-worker support and job satisfaction. Self-administered questionnaires were employed to collect data from 280 teachers working in Malaysian … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 8 Jun 2015 · 7,510 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessment of Heavy Metals Enrichment and Sources in Different Functional Areas of Sixian CityHaimin Su, Dongsheng Xu, Gao Yang, Peng SunTo investigate soil heavy metal pollution in different functional areas of Sixian City, 48 soil samples were collected in residential, industrial, green, and commercial areas. The concentrations of V, Cr, Zn, Cu, Pb, and as were determined by the geoaccumulation index method and the enrichment factor method, and their pollution levels were evaluated. At the same time, the possible sources … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2022 · 5,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnvironmental Pollution by Heavy Metals in the Gold Mining Region of East CameroonDallou Guy Blanchard, Ngoa Engola Louis, Abdourahimi et al.The main objective of this study is to assess the level of heavy metals pollution in soil samples collected around gold mines located in Betaré Oya (BO) and Batouri (BA) in Eastern Cameroon. Elemental analysis of soil samples was carried out using Quant´X EDXRF spectrometer. Its sensitivity and accuracy were increased by using the Fundamental Parameter approach for quantification of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 7 Nov 2018 · 9,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHEAVY 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSPATIAL AND MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN THE SURFACE WATER AND DEEP SEDIMENTS OF FRESH WATER AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMKantha Deivi Arunachalam, Sathesh Kumar Annamalai, Kamesh Viswanathan Baskaran et al.The aim of this study was to assess the levels of various trace metals present in water and sediment of fresh water aquatic ecosystem during the post monsoon season. The study was extended to identify the trace metal contamination in the water and sediment samples collected along the shores of Lambapur and Peddagattu the tribal villages in India using an … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 26 Mar 2014 · 7,597 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn 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
