in this article, groundwater samples in urban areas of kerman studied to assess the degree of pollution by heavy metals and major ions and other water quality parameters as a consequence of geology and anthropogenic sources. 43 samples were collected and analyzed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, titration and potentiometery for some heavy metals (cd, cr, cu, mn, pb and zn), m...

Background: This research aims to measure and study spatial changes, and the reason behind the increasing nitrate content in water wells in the Central District of Khodabandeh County in the Zanjan Province. Methods: The nitrate and nitrite content, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, total hardness and pH were measured at 40 sampling stations in the study area. The obtained...

Lack of sewage collection systems, percolation of surface waters, and seepage of wells have raised the groundwater table in Shiraz area in the south of Iran. The growing population generates environmental pollution resulting in the degradation of the quality of surface and groundwaters used for agriculture. Inorganic and organic pollutants have been traced in Shiraz water resources. Heavy metal...

background : the present paper aims to study the effect of human and urban activities on the quality of groundwater within the city of khoy in terms of heavy metals, chemical salts, and minerals from the geological formations of this region. methods : samples were provided from 32 pumping wells and the concentration of heavy metals ( cd, cu, mn, pb, zn, fe, as, and b), the main ions (hco 3 ,so ...

With the booming of unconventional oil and gas (UOG) industry since “shale revolution” around 2010, its inevitable damage to environment human health has aroused people's vigilance. We dig into UOG compliance reports from 2000 2019 launched by Department Environmental Protection (DEP) in Pennsylvania, USA, discover relationship between Contaminate, Location, Operation environmental violations. ...

Wastewater consists of a complex mixture of substances. During wastewater treatment these harmful substances can be eliminated or degraded. However, persistent compounds released with the treated sewage effluents enter the environment and pose a risk to animal and human life. To determine the potential risks involved, screening tests are needed to monitor wastewater for potential toxic contamin...

Microalgal blooms can result from anthropogenic nutrient loadings in coastal ecosystems. However, differentiating sources of nutrients remains a challenge. The response of phytoplankton and benthic microalgae (BMA) to nutrient loads was compared across tropical tidal creeks with and without secondary treated sewage. Primary productivity in the water column was limited by nitrogen availability i...

Sewage is a kind of ideal low-temperature heat sources. Sewage heat source pump system uses heat energy in sewage, and it is a method of utilizing sewage resources. In this article we analyze sewage’s characteristics and sewage source heat pump system; introduce its practical applications in sewage treatment plants in China, analyze its technical and economic characteristics, and discuss its ap...

Groundwater quality in the Muling–Xingkai Plain (MXP) is closely related to food security and human health. The chemical composition of groundwater MXP has attracted great attention. A total 168 samples were collected MXP, principal component analysis, ion analysis stable isotopic used explore key factors affecting hydrochemical evolution process groundwater. Results show sources ions are silic...
