In the Philippines, legacy mines and active mine wastes pose potential threats since these may contain elevated concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) high natural radioactivity. this study, from Philippine Iron Mine (PIM), Barlo (BM), Rapu-Rapu (RRM) tailing Padcal (PM) were analyzed to determine fifteen (15) PTEs activity radionuclides. Several quantitative risk indicators radiol...

Areas polluted by heavy metals in soil may pose a major risk to human health and ecological environment safety. In this study, 89 samples were collected from four potato producing areas (Libo, Chishui, Panxian Weining) Guizhou Province, China, the concentrations of 9 analyzed measured. The aims study was evaluate pollution index some potato-producing Province using geoaccumulation method, load ...

The ecological environment of the remote plateaus has been a challenge plaguing many countries due to global warming, increased human activities, and frequent occurrence various heavy metal (HM) pollutants. This paper analyzes primary factors potential susceptible regions’ characteristics related soil HMs (As, Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn) in southern Tibet Plateau (TP) using Geo-detectors set multi-sour...

Abstract The study aimed at evaluation of soil heavy metals in oil palm plantation and selected nutrients availability effected by mining. It was investigated using multivariate geostatistical analyses followed assessment environmental indices. Samples were collected from both mining cultivated area, prepared, analyzed ICPMS. Semi-variogram kriging done GS + ArcGIS 10.8, respectively. Content C...

In the Xining area of Huangshui River, China, concentrations globally alarming toxic heavy metals such as chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn) in surface sediments were measured to determine ecological risks riverine ecosystem. Overall, relatively high. The results indicated that Pb/Zn/Cr lower than 120/250/200 mg·kg−1 which was risk screening value each metal for...

One of the most effective nature conservation measures is creation territories where human impact limited, this called specially protected natural areas. A significant contribution to increasing area Russian Federation covered by areas was made State Nature Reserve in Leningrad Region, known as “East Gulf Finland”. Initially, reserve supposed include island Gogland (but it now not part area). T...

an increase in heavy metal pollution in the soils of arak due to industrialization and urbanization has become an environmental problem. the region hosts several industrial facilities which are the main source for hazardous wastes which include electric, metal, automotive supply industry, food, machinery, and chemicals. soil samples were collected from these industrial areas in the central and ...

This study discusses the results of ecological risk analysis sediments taken from Kilitbahir Port, one most active ports on shores Strait Çanakkale. ICP-MS analyzes collected samples revealed moderate enrichment in Mo, Cu and Zn relation to anthropogenic activities studied sediments. The compatibility geoaccumulation factor data explains that pollution is anthropogenic. No significant toxic was...

Abstract Purpose Agricultural land use associated with intensification in plant growing affects the physicochemical parameters of soils and thus soil quality. The aim this study was to identify quality Peshok catchment Eastern Himalayas under different types (tea, horticulture, rice), high monsoon rainfall conditions. Methods Physical chemical analysis were used, e.g. bulk density, pH, TOC, maj...

In Poland’s largest mining district, the Upper Silesian Coal Basin, there is a growing interest in resource development by small operators. Some concession areas are not yet directly affected industry. The objects of this research two such and goal to determine load heavy metals (HM) soils prior projects assess extent their contamination at stage. studied were Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, wh...
