A biological assessment of the Tang Sorkh River (Iran) was studied from July 2013 to August 2014 using benthic macroinvertebrate communities. Samples were gathered every two months, from five stations using a Surber sampler( 30×30cm), fixed in formalin (4%) and then separated and identified in the laboratory. Environmental conditions (current velocity, temperature, depth, width, dissolve oxygen...

A novel, simple p-dimethyl amino benzyl ethylene diamine reagent has been synthesized under ordinary laboratory conditions and this reagent was successfully applied for the determination of Chromium (VI) in various environmental samples. This reagent yields a red colored complex with chromium metal solution in sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer of pH 7.0. Maximum absorption was obtained at 560 n...

Abstract Selulu Reservoir is located in Waru District, North Panajam Paser Regency. It one of the tourist destinations supporting tourism sector. Land use changes and urbanization have potential impacts on environment. This study aimed to determine Water Quality Status Index (WQI) Reservoir. Hopefully, result will become basis for future reservoir management keep water quality well. The method ...

This work describes the use of a multi-LED photometer for discrimination of mineral water samples, employing chromogenic reagents and chemometric techniques. Forty-five water samples (including 7 different brands of mineral water and samples of deionised, distilled and tap waters) were analysed in a monosegmented flow system, using three different chromogenic reagents (murexide, PAR and eriochr...

This study focused upon the determination of physicochemical and microbial properties, including metals, selected anions and coliform bacteria in drinking water samples from hand-dug wells in the Kumasi metropolis of the Republic of Ghana. The purpose was to assess the quality of water from these sources. Ten different water samples were taken from different parts of Kumasi, the capital of the ...

The study focus on a pollution assessment of private boreholes water supply using contamination index and contour in Ogbia Local Government Area Bayelsa State. Water samples from were collected accordance to APHA [1] the preserved ice-park taking laboratory within four hours time collection. borehole analyzed according [1]. results sample analyses compared with WHO 2012 NSWDQ 2007. finding indi...

The performance of the i-STAT portable clinical analyser for measuring blood gases and pH was evaluated with reference to a conventional blood gas analyser (ABL520 Radiometer). Ninety-two samples from the routine blood gas analysis laboratory were chosen according to a wide distribution of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pa,CO2), partial pressure oxygen (Pa,O2) and pH and then analysed. All...

This study aims to determine the extent of groundwater damage in the Upper Litani River Basin (ULRB) after years of water mismanagement and overfertilization in what is considered to be Lebanon's largest fertile area. Physical and chemical samples were collected between 2005 and 2010 and analyzed using "The Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater" (APHA, AWWA) in order to d...
