Mining activities, ore concentrations, and transport processes generate large amounts of pollutants, including hazardous elements, which are released into the environment. This work presents results experimental research aimed at evaluating environmental risks soil plant contamination in two magnesite mining processing areas Slovak Republic, assesses phytoremediation potential dominant species....

Cr, Co, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in the bottom sediments from 93 sites at Quiberon bay were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) after acid extraction. The ranges of the concentration in the sediments are as follows: 27.3 μg/g (Cr), 11.6 μg/g (Co), 13.8 μg/g (Cu), 42.0 μg/g (Zn), 0.08 μg/g (Cd) and 17.8 μg/g (Pb). Potential contamination of the bay was assessed by Igeo and ...

The contamination characteristics and health risk of barium (Ba), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), vanadium (V), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd) in samples of dust gathered from squares and parks of Baotou city, an industrial city situated in a semi-arid location of the northwest China were investigated. The contents of Ba,...

Geochemical sediment of the tropical Pinang River, Malaysia was carried out with the aim at documenting elemental concentrations and pollution level assessment. Concentration of selected heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, Zn and Mn), rare earth elements, TOC and grain size distribution of sediments were determined at 100 m sampling interval along the river. Sediment size showed a positive correlatio...

Sungai merupakan tempat yang paling baik untuk melakukan pengamatan dari pencemaran logam berat pada sedimen terkandung didalamnya. Kegiatan industri daerah aliran sungai melibatkan penggunaan seperti tekstil, pelapisaan logam, cat/tinta warna, percetakan, bahan agrokimia. Penggunaan Geoaccumulation index (Ige) salah satu metode mengukur besaran kadar Sedimen dan tingkat dalam sedimen. Sehingga...

Aims: The general objective of this study was to evaluate heavy metals [Molybdenum (Mo), Cobalt (Co), Cadmium (Cd), Nickel (Ni), Antimony (Sb), Bismuth (Bi)] in the sediments Mfouati River near area impacted by mining operation.
 Study Design: were collected abandoned plant and vicinity. At end sampling, samples analyzed Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES).&#...
