When Antarctic glaciers retreat, high sediment loads from geomorphological and glaciological sources can disturb the biota, especially filtering organisms, thereby significantly alter ecology of coast. We applied Finite volumE Sea-ice Ocean-Coastal Model (FESOM-C), a numerical tool equipped with module, to simulate for first time suspended particulate matter (SPM) dynamics in fjordic environmen...

The phosphate-buffering properties and P chemistry of suspended particulate matter (SPM) collected in three geologically contrasting rivers (Bermejo, Paraguay, and Upper Paraná) are compared in order to explain the abundance of dissolved PO4-P in the Paraná floodplain lakes. The rivers show distinctive P-buffering capacities related to the chemical composition of their SPM. At natural pH, the l...

The populations residing near polluted sites are more prone to various types of diseases. The important causes of air pollution are the suspended particulate matter, respirable suspended particulate matter, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. As limited information is available enumerating the effect of these pollutants on liver physiology of the population living near the polluted sites; in t...

BACKGROUND We report on a novel approach to the analysis of suspended particulate data in a rural setting in southern Ontario. Analyses of suspended particulate matter and associated air quality standards have conventionally focussed on 24-hour mean levels of total suspended particulates (TSP) and particulate matter <10 microns, <2.5 microns and <1 micron in diameter (PM10, PM2.5, PM1, respecti...

infrastructure development being the major construction activity undertaken with the support of the government to eradicate poor transport infrastructure, to cater to ever-increasing population, to reduce the usage of own vehicle and environmental impact thereof, the concept of mass rapid transit system came into existence. among the various mass rapid transit system modes, metro rail construct...

In recent decades, the Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean has experienced rapidly decreasing summer sea ice coverage and freshening of surface waters. It is unclear how these changes translate to deeper waters, particularly as our baseline understanding of organic carbon cycling in the deep basin is quite limited. In this study, we describe full-depth profiles of the abundance, distribution and c...

Urbanization has resulted in increased contaminant run-off densely populated areas. Climate change is expected to result a higher frequency of extreme weather events including torrential rainfall and storms. The levels polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), chlorinated paraffins (CPF) selected metals, small urban river were monitored during snow-melting quantify the contribution contamination ...
