The concentration of heavy metals (HMs) in soil-plant systems was an important indicator soil metal pollution, and the migration transportation abilities HMs from to plants were great significance for evaluating food safety reducing health risks. This study conducted investigate contamination translocation soil-Paeonia lactiflora system Bozhou, Anhui Province, China. pollution assessed by calcu...

Recently, one of the major environmental issues is pollution soil with Antimony (Sb), which ecologically detrimental and potentially carcinogenic to humans. In developing countries such as Iran, Sb concentrations in soils have not yet been accurately determined. Therefore, purpose this study was examine levels other HMs (Pb, Cd, As, Ni, Hg Cr) surface Bojnourd, well their distribution potential...

Soil samples in Moryayla village located 156 km northeast of Erzurum and Cu mineralization area around it were collected randomly. In these samples, 20 taken order to investigate the metals found pollution limits sources that cause this pollution. The geochemical analyzes (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn Fe) soil made evaluated with parameters. calculation parameters, enrichment factor (EF); geoaccumula...

The concentrations of eight heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Hg, and As) in the intertidal surface sediments from Quanzhou Bay were determined to evaluate their levels and spatial distribution due to urbanization and economic development of Quanzhou region, southeast China. The ranges of the measured concentrations in the sediments are as follows: 24.8-119.7 mg/kg for Cu, 105.5-241.9 mg/kg...

Coal mining is inevitable for economic growth of a country, but at the same time deteriorates the quality of the environment. Open cast mine, especially affects the top soil most negatively. In the present study, soil samples from three representative areas of mining viz proposed, operational and abandoned sites from Charhi and Kuju of Jharkhand were collected and analysed for physicochemical p...

Total metals concentrations, Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), Pollution load index (PLI), degree of contamination (DC) and sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) were used to assess heavy metals contamination status and ecological risk in the sediments from the Libyan Mediterranean coast. The distribution pattern of heavy metals in the sediment follows the sequence: Fe>Pb>Mn>Ni>Zn>Cr>Cu>Co>Cd. Over th...

There is currently a wide variety of methods used to evaluate soil contamination. We present a discussion of the advantages and limitations of different soil contamination assessment methods. In this study, we analyzed seven trace elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn) that are indicators of soil contamination in Dexing, a city in China that is famous for its vast nonferrous mineral resource...

Heavy metal (Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Mn and Cd) concentrations were investigated for the first time in core sediments of the Municipal Lake of Yaounde, Cameroon. The area under study receives domestic raw sewage from surrounding populated neighborhoods through River Mingoa, main tributary of the lake. Other activities like automobile service stations, garages, non operational effluent treatment sta...

The river Nile is a dominating physical feature of the northeastern part of the African continent, covering areas exhibiting varieties and contrasts in topography, climate vegetation and people. So, in this study, we estimated the contamination of the Nile sediment with some major and trace heavy metals in core samples which can cause some undesirable health effects. Concentrations of all eleme...
